What is Hyperliquid (HYPE)?

Hyperliquid is a layer one (L1) blockchain best known for perpetual futures and spot trading. Beyond its flagship DEX trading platform, the ecosystem supports borrowing, lending, real world assets (RWAs), and a full-fledged Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), making it a leading force in decentralized finance (defi). Just as electronic trading dramatically improved markets in the 2000s, Hyperliquid offers an opportunity for a massive technical upgrade of the existing financial system through a transparent, efficient, and resilient blockchain. HYPE is the native token of the Hyperliquid blockchain, with a maximum supply of 1 billion.
