Each market is a pair of tokens, usually Yes and No; settlement converts Yes into a fraction of a USDC between 0 and 1 and No into the rest. The Yes and No books are merged, so buying Yes at p is the same order as selling No at 1 − p. There is no leverage and no liquidation, which is what separates these from the perpetuals the chain is known for. The HIP-4 page describes the first mainnet market as a recurring daily binary on the BTC mark price, its specification example being a one-day contract expiring at 06:00 UTC on 3 May 2026, and says multi-outcome markets would follow in stages. The chain's own info endpoint, read on 23 October 2026, shows how far that has gone: 378 outcomes and 29 multi-outcome **questions**. - **Protocol-deployed recurring markets**: daily binaries on BTC, ETH, SOL and HYPE, and a recurring three-bucket daily BTC price question. - **Deployer markets**: the endpoint lists four deployer venues by code, three of them with live markets. They carry NBA, NFL and soccer games and seasons, esports, award winners, central bank rate decisions, IPO first-day market caps, and short-dated price binaries on Hyperliquid's own perpetuals, including equity-index, single-stock, gold and silver perps. The interface at app.hyperliquid.xyz is published by **Hyperliquid Corp.**, whose terms say it does not own, control or operate the chain itself and that the interface is not the only way to reach it. ## Availability **The interface bars the US and Ontario, and outcome markets have a second, unpublished list.** The Terms of Use, last updated 15 June 2026, define Restricted Persons as anyone residing in, located in, incorporated in or with a registered office in the United States or Ontario, anyone in a sanctioned territory, and citizens of sanctioned territories wherever they live. Section 1.7 then adds that outcome markets are not available to "Excluded Persons": anyone subject to the laws of "certain jurisdictions that we designate from time to time", or for whom access would require a licence nobody has obtained. Section 1.8 says the company may block the outcome-markets tab for them. That list is not published, so the jurisdiction field above records only what the terms bar outright and the Excluded list can narrow it without notice. VPNs and false statements about residency or citizenship are prohibited. There is no identity check: an account is a wallet. The terms are governed by English law with LCIA arbitration in London. The chain itself is permissionless; the terms govern the interface, and other front ends bring their own.

It gives no rate. - Public fills read from the chain's info endpoint on 23 October 2026 show opening buys at zero and sells, merges and settlements charged. On accounts at the base fee tier the charge matched each account's own spot rate from the `userFees` endpoint: 0.0672% of the fill for a taker, which is the 0.07% base spot rate less a 4% referral discount, and 0.0384% for a resting sell; some fills were charged twice the account's rate, and a front end's builder fee adds to others. No Hyperliquid page says outcomes use the spot schedule, so this card does not turn the observation into a fee. The outcome metadata also carries a `deployerFeeScale` of 1.0 on every market of two of the deployer venues, the field name HIP-3 uses for a deployer's share of fees, and a top-level `feeScale` of 3; no page explains either for outcomes. **Builder fees are a front end's, not the venue's.** Builder codes work as on spot: an interface that specifies its code earns a builder fee on sell orders. A terminal such as [Stand](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/stand-trade) charges one on top of whatever Hyperliquid takes. ## Markets & resolution **Recurring markets settle to the chain's own price.** The contract specifications give the rule for the daily binary: Yes if the BTC mark price, linearly interpolated between the mark updates either side of the settlement time, is at or above the target price. The three-bucket market uses the same interpolation. The protocol deploys and settles these on its own cadence, and there is at most one recurring series per type, underlying and period. **Every other market is settled by its deployer.** The info endpoint names each deployer's address and the sub-deployer addresses it has authorised to register outcomes and to call `settleOutcome` and `settleQuestion`. Each market's description names what it settles on — ESPN, the NBA, the NFL, a league for soccer, gol.gg for esports, a Pyth index price or a perp mark for the price binaries — but the act of settling is a transaction signed by the deployer's addresses. The interface terms disclaim liability for "erroneous outcome determination and disputed settlements"; no dispute or appeal process for outcome markets is documented. **Questions** link several outcomes of which exactly one settles Yes, each on its own book, with `negate` and `merge` operations so that No shares across a question can be redeemed for USDC before the outcomes settle. ## Integrations Outcome markets use Hyperliquid's public API, which the HIP-4 page says is "similar to spot", with outcome assets addressed by an encoding of outcome id and side (coins named `#`). The info endpoint's `outcomeMeta` lists every outcome, question and deployer without a key, and recent trades for an outcome coin come back like any spot coin's; we read both on 23 October 2026. Orders go through the exchange endpoint, including split, merge and negate actions. The official Python SDK, whose latest commit was on 4 June 2026 (UTC; release 0.24.0 the same day), contains no outcome-specific code, so the Python flag is off; signing outcome actions from Python means building them yourself. Third-party products already route here: [Stand](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/stand-trade) trades these markets, [CCXT](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/ccxt) and [PMXT](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/pmxt) list Hyperliquid among their venues, and [Kairos](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/kairos), [FinFeedAPI](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/finfeedapi) and [Artemis](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/artemis-prediction-markets) carry the market data. ## Limitations - **No published fee.** Two Hyperliquid pages disagree, and the chain shows sells being charged. - **Settlement of most markets rests on a deployer's keys**, with no documented dispute process. - **An exclusion list you cannot read.** Outcome markets can be closed to a jurisdiction by designation, on top of the US and Ontario. - **The documentation lags the chain.** The HIP-4 page still describes a single BTC market and multi-outcome markets as not yet live; the endpoint shows hundreds of markets and 29 questions. - **The official Python SDK does not cover outcomes.** - **Nobody here has funded a wallet.** Everything above is read from Hyperliquid's documentation, the interface's Terms of Use, the info endpoint and the official SDK repository on 23 October 2026. ## Alternatives [Polymarket](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/polymarket) is the larger on-chain order book, with sports and politics depth this venue does not have and an external oracle, UMA, instead of deployer settlement. [Limitless](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/limitless) is the closest match for short-dated crypto price markets, resolving most of them against Pyth. Both are compared with the other offshore books in the [offshore venue head-to-head](https://predictionmarkets.tools/compare/offshore-prediction-market-venues). A US reader needs a CFTC-regulated exchange such as [Kalshi](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/kalshi). ## FAQ ### What are Hyperliquid outcome markets? Contracts introduced by HIP-4 that are fully collateralised and settle within a fixed range, with no leverage and no liquidations. Each market has a Yes and a No token on merged order books on HyperCore, Hyperliquid's own chain, and settles in USDC. Recurring crypto price binaries are deployed by the protocol; sports, award, rate-decision and IPO markets come from third-party deployers. ### What does it cost to trade a Hyperliquid outcome market? Hyperliquid publishes no rate. Its HIP-4 page says outcome fees are currently zero for initial testing, while its Fees page says outcome trading charges fees when closing or settling but not when opening, and public fills show sells being charged. A front end can add its own builder fee on sells. ### Can US residents trade Hyperliquid outcome markets? Not through Hyperliquid's interface. Its Terms of Use, last updated 15 June 2026, bar anyone residing in, located in or incorporated in the United States or Ontario, and sanctioned territories and their citizens. Outcome markets are further closed to "Excluded Persons" in jurisdictions the company designates from time to time, a list it does not publish. ### Who decides how a Hyperliquid outcome market settles? Two answers. Recurring BTC, ETH, SOL and HYPE binaries settle automatically to HyperCore's own mark price at 06:00 UTC. Every other market belongs to a deployer whose authorised addresses hold the on-chain permission to settle it, against the official source the market names, such as ESPN or a league. ## Background - [Event contract or swap, and why the label decides the case](https://predictionmarkets.tools/guides/event-contract-vs-swap.md) — Whether an event contract is a swap under the Commodity Exchange Act decides whether a state may regulate it. Three circuits have read it, and they divide. - [How a venue changes its rules, and where you can see it coming](https://predictionmarkets.tools/guides/how-a-venue-changes-its-rules.md) — A US exchange's rule changes wait ten business days in public; a fee under a dollar a contract need not. Broker fees and offshore terms change when posted. - [How much one account may hold, and what happens past the line](https://predictionmarkets.tools/guides/how-much-one-account-may-hold.md) — Position limits and accountability levels sound alike and work differently. Where each venue draws the line, in which unit, and what happens past it. ## Also worth comparing - [Futuur](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/futuur.md) — Play-money and real-money markets side by side, priced by an LS-LMSR market maker. - [Limitless](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/limitless.md) — Event contracts on Base, collateralised in USDC, traded on a central limit order book. - [Myriad](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/myriad.md) — Multi-chain event markets on an order book, some on an AMM, paid in stablecoins or points. - [Opinion](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/opinion.md) — A BNB Chain order book for macro, crypto and sports outcomes, resolved by its AI oracle. - [Polymarket](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/polymarket.md) — Self-custody event contracts on an on-chain order book, resolved by the UMA oracle. - [Predict.fun](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/predict-fun.md) — A BNB Chain order book in Binance-pegged USDT, where open positions earn Venus yield.
