Hyperliquid Xyz

HIP-3 permissionless perp markets on Hyperliquid L1. Third-party deployers stake HYPE to list their own perps under a `deployer:SYMBOL` coin (e.g. `xyz:BOT`), settled by the same HyperBFT orderbook infrastructure as native Hyperliquid perps.

Lighter

Onchain perp DEX with a fully onchain orderbook on a zkSync rollup. ZK proofs verify matching, no off-chain sequencer for trade execution.

The full pair ledger is versioned in the public repo so the methodology is externally verifiable.
