Hyperliquid is a Layer 1 blockchain built specifically to run an onchain orderbook fast enough to compete with a centralized exchange, rather than a general purpose chain that trading happens to run on. Its own token, HYPE, governs the chain and captures a share of exchange fees, and vaults, an API, and a mobile app all sit on top of the same orderbook. These guides cover what actually makes Hyperliquid different from other perp DEXs, whether it is safe to trust with real size, how the ecosystem around vaults and bots fits together, and where to start whether you're on desktop or mobile.
