Why Hyperliquid is the Most Advanced DEX in Crypto

Hyperliquid combines the best features of traditional finance (TradFi) with the innovation of decentralized finance (DeFi). It is built for traders who demand performance but refuse to compromise on self-custody.

Zero Gas Trading

Pay $0 gas fees for all trading actions (Orders, Cancels, Modifications). You only pay trading fees (Maker/Taker) when an order executes.

The protocol subsidizes all gas costs, allowing you to trade as much as you want, as fast as you want.

Sub-Second Finality (<0.2s)

The custom Rust-based L1 processes blocks continuously with zero lag.

The UI updates instantly. It feels exactly like trading on Binance or Bybit with professional-grade performance.

Unified Account (Cross-Margin)

Single USDC collateral with powerful portfolio margining across all positions.

Profits from winning positions automatically offset losses, preventing unnecessary liquidations. Create sub-accounts for different strategies without risk spillover.

On-Chain Order Book (CLOB)

Place limit orders at exact prices and see the full market depth.

Price is determined by supply and demand, not by algorithms or lagging oracles. Complete transparency and fairness in execution.

Detailed Feature Breakdown

1. Zero Gas Trading

On most blockchains (Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum), every transaction requires a gas fee. This kills high-frequency trading and scalping strategies.

How it works: Hyperliquid treats trading actions (Orders, Cancels, Modifications) as special transactions subsidized by the protocol.

Benefit: You pay $0 gas fees. You trade as much as you want, as fast as you want. You only pay trading fees (Maker/Taker) when an order executes.

2. Sub-Second Finality (<0.2s)

In trading, speed is everything. Waiting 12 seconds for an Ethereum block or even 2 seconds for an L2 confirmation is too slow during volatility.

Performance: The custom Rust-based L1 processes blocks continuously.

Experience: The UI updates instantly. It feels exactly like trading on Binance or Bybit. There is no "lag" between clicking buy and seeing your position open.

3. Unified Account (Cross-Margin)

Hyperliquid uses a powerful risk engine that unifies your portfolio.

•Single Collateral: All trading is settled in USDC. You don't need to hold 50 different tokens to trade 50 different pairs.
•Portfolio Margining: Profits from a winning ETH position can automatically offset losses in a SOL position, preventing unnecessary liquidations.
•Sub-Accounts: You can create completely separate sub-accounts under your main wallet to run different strategies (e.g., "Bot 1", "Long Term", "Degen") without risk spillover.

4. On-Chain Order Book (CLOB)

Forget AMMs and Liquidity Pools where you can only "Swap" at the market price.

•Limit Orders: Place bids and asks at exact prices.
•Visibility: See the full depth of the market. Know exactly where the buy and sell walls are.
•Fairness: Price is determined by supply and demand, not by an algorithm or oracle that can lag behind the real market.

5. Advanced Order Types

Hyperliquid supports the full suite of professional order types:

•Market: Execute immediately.

•Limit: Execute at a specific price.

•Stop Loss: Market sell if price drops below X.

•Take Profit: Limit sell if price rises above Y.

•Reduce-Only: Guarantee that an order will only close a position, never open a new one.

•Post-Only: Guarantee you are a Maker (lower fees). The order is rejected if it would execute immediately.

The next evolution. Hyperliquid is launching a high-performance EVM layer.
