Hyperliquid is a layer one (L1) blockchain built around decentralized trading, with its flagship platform designed primarily for perpetual futures and spot markets. The ecosystem extends well beyond its decentralized exchange (DEX), supporting additional services such as borrowing and lending, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, and a fully integrated Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) environment that allows Ethereum-compatible smart contracts to run on the network. The network operates on a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism and functions as a smart contract platform, positioning it as a broad infrastructure layer for decentralized finance (DeFi) rather than a single-purpose application. HYPE is the network's native token, with a capped maximum supply of 1 billion. Within the Hyperliquid ecosystem, the token serves governance and utility functions tied to the operation of the chain and its associated exchange-based activities.
