Hyperliquid Unleashes Permissionless Markets on Testnet Amid HYPE Price Pressure
Hyperliquid has launched its HIP-4 testnet, allowing developers to deploy permissionless prediction and outcome markets. This launch comes as the price of HYPE, Hyperliquid's native token, tests key support around $53.
Developers can now deploy HIP-4 markets without an auction or gas fee by staking 100 HYPE tokens. They can choose from approved templates and set the underlying asset, target, and expiry for their market. The testnet currently limits each deployer to 10 active outcomes and 50 deployments per day.
The template system is designed to standardize markets and prevent inconsistent wording. Instead of allowing thousands of different questions with similar wording, templates will keep markets more consistent. However, the initial implementation has some limitations, including configurable fees and additional market templates that will be added later.
