Ventuals

Ventuals is a pioneering on-chain derivatives protocol built natively on Hyperliquid's HIP-3 infrastructure, focused on bringing private company valuations and pre-IPO markets to decentralized finance. By tokenizing equity-linked perpetual futures for private AI labs, tech platforms, and emerging hardware and automation companies, Ventuals creates a unified trading venue for assets previously inaccessible to on-chain participants. The protocol launched its vHYPE liquid staking vault in October 2025, attracting over $38 million in deposits within 30 minutes — a testament to demand for its novel market structure.

Prediction markets on Hyperliquid leverage HIP-3's permissionless perpetual futures infrastructure to create markets on real-world events and outcomes. Ventuals operates in this category where traders can take positions on everything from elections to crypto market events. Hyperliquid's native order book infrastructure provides deep liquidity and instant settlement for these markets.
