Questions
How do pre-ipo perps work on Hyperliquid?
They are HIP-3 markets: a builder stakes 500,000 HYPE, deploys its own dex on Hyperliquid, defines the contracts and publishes the oracle prices. Positions are cash-settled in USDC and funding is paid every hour, like any Hyperliquid perp.
Which deployers list them?
XYZ, EntropyIO, Paragon. 2 of these assets are also listed on Lighter.
What leverage is available?
5× to 20× depending on the market; the deployer sets the cap and whether cross margin is allowed.
