@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.

The money-making starts—Hyperliquid.
