  1. Introduction

What is Hyperliquid?

Hyperliquid is a specialized Layer 1 blockchain designed to enable an open, on-chain financial system. At its core is the Hyperliquid DEX, allowing users to trade perpetuals and spot assets with exceptional speed and efficiency.

Key Highlights:

  • Native Order Book: Unlike most DEXs that rely solely on AMMs, Hyperliquid integrates a fully on-chain order book at the blockchain level.

  • Unmatched Performance: Hyperliquid can handle up to 200,000 TPS with latency as low as 0.2s–0.9s, aiming to improve these metrics over time.

  • Vision: Hyperliquid aims to be the “AWS of Liquidity,” offering a high-performance, developer-friendly environment for anyone to build financial tools and services. The ultimate goal: to redefine finance by making it fully on-chain, efficient, and accessible.
