Hyperliquid Official: L1 Perps, HYPE Staking & HyperEVM Guide 2026Â
Hyperliquid is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain optimized for secure, decentalized trading. Unlike generic L2s, the Hyperliquid L1 Mainnet is purpose-built to run a fully on-chain order book (CLOB) with sub-second finality. This 2026 technical documentation serves as the definitive resource for accessing HyperDEX Trading, bridging assets via the HyperEVM Bridge, and securing the network through Hyperliquid Staking. By eliminating gas fees for trading, Hyperliquid offers the speed of a CEX with the self-custody of a DEX.
The Hyperliquid architecture is split into two high-performance components:
HyperCore: The dedicated execution environment for the order book. It handles Spot Trading Hyperliquid and perpetuals with zero gas fees for orders, ensuring institutional-grade latency.
HyperEVM: A fully EVM-compatible layer that allows developers to build custom dApps (like lending protocols or yield aggregators) that interoperate natively with the exchange's liquidity.
HYPE Token: The native asset used for staking and securing the consensus. Following the massive HYPE Token Airdrop, the token now serves as the governance and security backbone of the L1.
How does Hyperliquid achieve 100,000+ TPS?
HyperBFT Consensus: A custom consensus mechanism optimized for low latency. It allows the Hyperliquid L1 Mainnet to reach consensus on block ordering almost instantly, preventing front-running and MEV attacks common on Ethereum.
HLP Vault Yield: The "Hyper Liquidity Provider" (HLP) vault democratizes market making. Users deposit USDC into the HLP vault to fund the protocol's native market maker strategy, earning a share of the PnL and trading fees.
Bridge Architecture: The native bridge connects Arbitrum to Hyperliquid. Assets are locked on Arbitrum and minted 1:1 on Hyperliquid, ensuring a seamless flow of collateral.
The Hyperliquid economy rewards active participation and security.
Staking Rewards: Users can stake HYPE Token to validators to secure the HyperEVM. In return, they receive a portion of the gas fees generated by dApps running on the chain.
Points Program: While the initial "Points" campaign has concluded, new incentives often launch for specific trading pairs or HyperEVM dApp usage.
Fee Discounts: Staking HYPE or holding significant positions can unlock tiered fee discounts, further reducing the already low Hyperliquid Fees (often 0% for makers).
To start trading on the world's fastest decentralized exchange, follow this path:
Access Portal: Navigate to the official Hyperliquid interface (link below).
Connect Wallet: Use an Arbitrum-compatible wallet (Rabby/MetaMask).
Bridge Funds: Use the "Deposit" button to move USDC from Arbitrum One to the Hyperliquid L1 Mainnet. This transaction typically takes 5-10 minutes for finality.
Trade: Navigate to the "Trade" tab. Select your pair (e.g., BTC/USD) and place a Limit or Market order. Note that placing orders requires no gas.
Earn Yield: Navigate to the "Vaults" tab and deposit idle USDC into the HLP Vault to start earning market-making returns.
Hyperliquid is a sovereign L1, meaning it does not rely on a separate sequencer like an Optimistic Rollup.
Self-Custody: Funds are always held in your wallet or the smart contract; the exchange operators never have access to your private keys.
On-Chain Transparency: Every order, cancelation, and liquidation is recorded on the Hyperliquid L1 Mainnet explorer. This allows for real-time verification that the matching engine is behaving correctly.
Bridge Security: The Arbitrum bridge is secured by the same validator set that secures the L1, ensuring economic alignment.
How do I Buy HYPE Token? The HYPE Token is traded on Hyperliquid's own spot markets as well as major centralized exchanges.
What are the Hyperliquid Fees? Taker fees are generally very low (e.g., 0.025%), and makers often receive a rebate, meaning you get paid to provide liquidity.
Is Hyperliquid an L2? No. It is a sovereign Layer 1 blockchain with its own consensus (HyperBFT), though it bridges primarily to Arbitrum for liquidity.
