papertrade just crossed $1 trillion in cumulative notional volume.

The synthetic perpetuals platform built on HyperEVM has reached some serious numbers:

$1T+ cumulative notional trading volume

$61.8M TVL

$664M in open positions

$13.28M in margin

Papertrade uses Hyperliquid’s average BBO prices, with users trading directly against protocol LPs instead of a traditional order book.

$1T in volume, but your PnL still has trust issues.

Is on-chain perps trading becoming the next big DeFi battleground?
