Hyperliquid
About
Hyperliquid is a layer-1 proof-of-stake blockchain designed for decentralized trading and financial applications. Built around a custom consensus mechanism called HyperBFT, the network features an order book-based execution environment that processes perpetual futures, spot trading, borrowing, lending, and custom financial derivatives directly onchain. The infrastructure combines HyperCore, a specialized module handling high-throughput order matching and liquidations, with an Ethereum Virtual Machine layer for smart contract deployment. The native token is used for staking consensus, network gas fees, onchain governance, and trading fee discounts, with protocol revenues directed toward automated token buybacks and burns.
