What is Hyperliquid?
Hyperliquid is a performant L1 blockchain purpose-built for finance, combining the performance of centralized exchanges with the security and transparency of decentralized finance.
Performance
Sub-second finality with the capacity to handle thousands of orders per second.
Decentralization
A fully decentralized validator set securing the L1 and its native components.
Vertical Integration
Native CLOB, Perpetuals, and Spot trading integrated directly into the protocol.
The Native Components
Unlike generic blockchains, Hyperliquid features native financial primitives built into the consensus layer:
L1 CLOB (Central Limit Order Book)
The most gas-efficient order book in DeFi, providing CEX-like liquidity.
HyperEVM
A high-performance, EVM-compatible environment for custom smart contract logic.
Native Bridge
Secure, trustless bridging between Arbitrum and Hyperliquid L1.
Why Hyperliquid?
For Traders
Ultra-low latency, deep liquidity, and a familiar CEX interface with self-custody.
For Builders
Direct access to the L1 orderbook precompiles and high-throughput EVM execution.
