Perps trading is now live on MetaMask, powered by Hyperliquid

https://metamask.io/news/introducing-metamask-perps

By community request, Hyperliquid has listed MET-USD hyperps. You can now long or short the unlaunched Meteora token with up to 3x leverage.

As a reminder, hyperps do not rely on any external data for the oracle price. Hyperps trade like perpetual contracts that users are familiar with, but do not require an external spot or index oracle price. Instead, the funding rate is determined relative to a moving average of the hyperp mark price.

Trading is on low leverage and isolated margin only. Beware of low liquidity, high volatility, potentially extreme funding, and increased liquidation risk. Note: MET-USD will convert to a vanilla perp upon CEX spot listing. See Docs for more.

MET-USD is a hyperp contract that poses higher than normal risk. Do not trade contracts you are unfamiliar with and do not understand the risks for. Read the Docs to learn more about the hyperp mechanism. NFA.

During the recent market volatility, the Hyperliquid blockchain had zero downtime or latency issues despite record traffic and volumes. HyperBFT consensus and execution handled the spike in throughput gracefully.

This was an important stress test proving that Hyperliquid's decentralized and fully onchain financial system can be robust and scalable. The system's risk and margining implementation functioned as designed, ensuring platform solvency throughout the extreme volatility.

On Hyperliquid, there is no listing fee, no listing department, and no gatekeepers.

Spot deployment on Hyperliquid is permissionless. Anyone can deploy a spot asset by paying a gas fee in HYPE. Deployers can choose to receive up to 50% of trading fees on their spot pairs. Everything is transparent and verifiable onchain.

The full defi lifecycle includes building a project, launching a token, and trading that token. Every step of that journey can be done permissionlessly on Hyperliquid.

Based on stalequant's methodology (https://github.com/stalequant/stalequant.github.io/blob/main/build_delisting_recos.py) and community request, max leverage was increased for PAXG (10x), PUMP (10x), and ASTER (5x) and reduced to 3x for BIGTIME, GRIFFAIN, NXPC, SAGA, SCR, and SOPH.

Note that max leverage decreases do not affect the liquidation price of open positions until they are modified. To reduce positions that exceed initial margin requirements under the new max leverage, use reduce-only orders. The first non-reduce-only order that modifies a position will subject it to the new max leverage and maintenance margin requirements. As a reminder, maintenance margin is half of the initial margin at max leverage. E.g., if max leverage is 10x, the maintenance margin is 5%.

Validators will vote on whether to delist LAUNCHCOIN around 07:00 UTC on Oct 25.

If the asset is delisted, all positions will be settled at mark price, and open orders will be canceled. Close any positions beforehand to avoid automatic settlement. After settlement, no new orders will be accepted.

On the next app.hyperliquid.xyz frontend update:

+ Validator-operated perps will be renamed to clarify the collateral asset. For example, ETH perps will be displayed as ETH-USDC instead of ETH-USD. This is a display-only change. No contract specifications have changed.
+ HIP-3 perps will be shown. These markets are deployed independently onchain by third-parties through a permissionless mechanism. New deployer perps will be initially added to the "all" list, and may be moved to "strict" pending user adoption and liquidity. New HIP-3 deployers must share links to a docs page with contract specifications before their perps can be shown. As a reminder, inclusion of a market in “strict” does not mean it is lower risk, nor does it imply endorsement or evaluation. Users should always assess risks independently before trading any market.
+ DEX abstraction for HIP-3 perps will be enabled automatically when users connect, unless the user has explicitly opted out of DEX abstraction (for example, on another frontend or in the settings dropdown). When DEX abstraction is on, users can trade HIP-3 perps from their existing perps and spot balances.

As a reminder, validators vote on the delisting of validator-operated perps. If validators vote to delist an asset, the perps will settle to the 1 hour time weighted spot oracle price before delisting. This is a settlement mechanism used by many CEXs. Users who wish to avoid automatic settlement should close their positions beforehand. See: https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/trading/delisting

Validators will vote on whether to delist AI16Z around 8:30 UTC on Nov 6. AI16Z is being rebranded to ELIZAOS.
