Builder Guide
HyperFoundation is on a mission to make Hyperliquid the “Amazon Web Services of liquidity”—a neutral backend that empowers anyone to build innovative financial applications without worrying about the heavy lifting. By offering robust, plug-and-play infrastructure, Hyperliquid lets you focus on creating value and delivering top-notch products.
A World of Possibilities
The current flagship application on Hyperliquid is the DEX developed by Hyper Labs, but that’s only one example of what’s possible. Whether you’re envisioning new trading tools, risk management platforms, or entirely novel financial products, Hyperliquid’s infrastructure is yours to explore. This is the essence of Open Finance: building, iterating, and launching whatever you can imagine—free from the usual constraints of traditional finance or single-purpose blockchains.
Three Core Components of Hyperliquid
L1 Perp & L1 Spot:
These are the foundational markets of Hyperliquid, accessible via API endpoints.
Instead of interacting directly with the RPC, users interact with permissionless API servers, which relay requests to the network’s consensus RPC. This design ensures better load balancing, DDoS protection, and a familiar experience, similar to cex.
HyperEVM:
A standard EVM environment with added features that grant access to L1 primitives.
Development feels familiar (e.g., using RPC calls and typical EVM tooling), but you also benefit from enhanced functionalities unique to Hyperliquid.
Node Operators:
Anyone can run a node and participate in network consensus, helping secure the network.
This open participation model underpins the decentralization of Hyperliquid and ensures its long-term resilience.
Your Invitation to Build
With the resources in this Builder Guide, you’ll have everything you need to create, innovate, and deploy your own applications on Hyperliquid.
