Hyperliquid Launches Mainnet With New Spot Trading Feature

As a seasoned crypto investor with a background in blockchain technology and decentralized finance, I’m thrilled about the mainnet launch of Hyperliquid and their innovative HIP-1 standard. This development opens up a world of opportunities for creating and trading new spot market pairs on the Hyperliquid L1 blockchain.


In simple terms, Hyperliquid, a decentralized platform for exchanging perpetual futures contracts, has unveiled its long-awaited mainnet version. This significant milestone introduces the HIP-1 spot token feature, enabling on-chain trading of spots between pairs of HIP-1 tokens in an innovative manner.

As a token analyst, I’d describe it this way: The HIP-1 standard set by Hyperliquid empowers me to introduce capped supply fungible tokens with customizable features like total supply, trading decimals, conversion rates, and token labels during the deployment process. Consequently, I can effortlessly establish new trading pairs for spot markets right on the Hyperliquid L1 blockchain.

As a researcher, I’m excited to announce that permissionless spot deployments have gone live on the mainnet. However, I strongly advise deployers to test these deployments on the testnet before making them live on the mainnet. This step can help prevent potential issues and ensure a smoother experience for all users. It’s important to note that no assets deployed by users are officially endorsed by us. Before trading any new assets, make sure you’re familiar with them and fully understand the associated risks. Always do your own research (DYOR).

HIP-1 signifies a significant advancement in building a comprehensive and versatile decentralized trading system, equipped with advanced on-chain capabilities. As a result, it serves as a one-stop solution for secure, censorship-resistant trading experiences, in addition to featuring HyperLiquid’s perpetual futures offerings.

At the mainnet launch, HIP-2 will be introduced as an additional component. This is a liquidity commitment solution designed for HIP-1 spot order books. Furthermore, HyperLiquid intends to incorporate Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) into its L1 blockchain. As a result, users can easily interact with decentralized finance (DeFi) applications built on Ethereum.
