HyperliquidHYPE

Hyperliquid is a layer 1 blockchain built to run a fully onchain order book exchange for perpetual futures and spot trading. It has two execution environments secured by one consensus: HyperCore, which runs the order books, margining, and liquidations, and HyperEVM, an EVM environment that is part of the same chain rather than a separate one.12 Its native token is HYPE. Hyperliquid was built by Hyperliquid Labs, which states it took no outside venture funding.3
