HIP-3 Permissionless Perpetual Markets and Private-Company Valuation Trading
Summary
The document describes Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 update, which enables builders to deploy perpetual swap markets without centralized approval and earn a share of trading fees. It presents private-company valuations and forex pairs as possible market categories. Ventuals is described as using the framework to offer perpetual contracts linked to private-company valuations, with a hybrid oracle combining secondary-market information and on-chain price feeds to address limited liquidity and price discovery challenges.
The article also outlines builder incentives, mentions launches by Phantom and BasedApp, and describes a HYPE token buyback mechanism funded by trading fees. It flags regulatory uncertainty and the risks of trading illiquid or complex assets. The discussion is introductory and promotional in tone: it provides no independent performance analysis, detailed oracle methodology, or evidence that the proposed markets have reliable liquidity or accurate prices. The market and tokenomics claims should therefore be read as descriptions made by the document, not as demonstrated outcomes.
