@chameleon_jeff The die-hard again isn’t lurking underwater:
HIP-4 update—simply put, it’s these things
1. You can still add result options after deployment Previously, once you created a prediction market, the results were fixed. Now, deployers can name and add the results afterward.
2. Fees can be adjusted by yourself Deployers can set a fee multiplier (0 to 10x), allowing flexible fee collection.
3. A more user-friendly interface Added shortString hints to make it easier for the frontend to display.
4. Cleaner on-chain status Settlement details no longer occupy L1 state long-term—only those who need them will index them themselves.
5. More testnet templates Old templates will be marked as deprecated.
What’s next: In the next upgrade, prediction markets deployed by validators will officially begin charging fees (about half of ordinary spot).
Early on in mainnet, we’ll be fairly conservative: Each deployer will have at most 100 concurrent markets, with no more than 500 deployments per day. Once stable, we’ll gradually open it up to 1,000 concurrent markets and 5,000 deployments per day.
Overall, this is to make prediction markets more usable and controllable, while managing initial risk.
This is clearly a positive for HIP-4, and also for $HYPE . After fees and the deployer’s share are split, perhaps the remaining 97% will continue to be used for buyback and burn.
Portfolio Margin and Borrow/Lend have reached production-grade scale, have been thoroughly validated, and support meaningful TVL—demand is still growing.
The order book liquidity has also matured; at the current scale, HLP no longer needs liquidity.
Therefore, in the next network upgrade, HLP will begin automatically rebalancing any underutilized USDC into its Lending sub-strategy.
Hyperliquid’s capital efficiency continues to improve.
