Hyperliquid Perpetual Markets: Asset Leverage and Maintenance Margin

Article Hyperliquid docs
Read the original

Summary

This documentation note outlines basic trading parameters for Hyperliquid perpetual markets. It says the venue supports more than one hundred assets, with additions guided by community input and a longer-term aim of permissionless listings. Maximum leverage differs by asset, spanning a stated range from three to forty times.

The note also gives the maintenance-margin rule: at an asset’s maximum leverage, maintenance margin is half the initial margin. Its example says that a twenty-times maximum leverage setting corresponds to a 2.5% maintenance margin. These figures describe platform parameters, not a trading strategy or evidence about market performance. The page does not explain asset-specific settings, liquidation mechanics, fees, or how leverage limits may change, so traders would need current market documentation before relying on them.

Key ideas

  • The venue lists more than one hundred perpetual assets and describes community input into listings.
  • Maximum leverage varies by asset within the stated range.
  • Maintenance margin at maximum leverage is half of initial margin.
  • The page gives no strategy or performance evidence and omits liquidation and fee details.
