Overview

Hyperliquid Spot logo

Hyperliquid Spot

Hyperliquid's native spot order book is the on-chain spot trading layer of the Hyperliquid L1, enabling permissionless listing and trading of tokens through the HIP-1 and HIP-2 token standards. Unlike AMM-based spot trading, Hyperliquid Spot uses a fully on-chain central limit order book (CLOB) with 200k orders per second throughput, delivering CEX-equivalent matching engine performance for spot assets. HIP-1 provides the fungible token standard analogous to ERC-20, while HIP-2 governs hyperliquidity provision—requiring token deployers to seed initial order book liquidity. Tokens launched through this mechanism trade natively on Hyperliquid's CLOB alongside the perp markets, creating a unified liquidity environment. The native spot DEX has become the go-to venue for launching and trading Hyperliquid-native tokens like PURR, HYPE, and the growing list of HyperEVM-native project tokens, with billions in cumulative spot trading volume demonstrating strong adoption.

Spearbit

Spearbit is a decentralized network of elite security researchers offering competitive smart contract audit services for protocols building on HyperEVM and other blockchain ecosystems. Unlike traditional security firms with fixed teams, Spearbit matches each engagement with the most qualified researchers from its curated network, ensuring expert-level coverage of protocol-specific risks. Spearbit has conducted high-profile audits for top DeFi protocols and is increasingly engaged by Hyperliquid ecosystem projects seeking security validation before mainnet launches. Its transparent, competitive marketplace model has attracted some of the highest-earning bug bounty hunters and independent security researchers in the industry. For HyperEVM protocols that handle concentrated liquidity or complex financial logic, Spearbit's researcher network provides diverse threat modeling perspectives that single-firm audits cannot match, making it a popular choice for security-conscious Hyperliquid ecosystem teams.
