# Hyperliquid (HYPE) — machine-readable summary

> FORTUNA SIGNAL · FORA-01 evidence dossier · Researched 2026-09-15 · https://ron-delhaye-studios.github.io/fortuna-signal-live/tokens/hype.html

## Definition
Hyperliquid is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain built for a fully onchain open financial system, home to one of the largest decentralized perpetual-futures exchanges by volume.

## What the holder owns (FORA-01 Q1)
Native gas token of the Hyperliquid L1 — pays for HyperEVM transactions and perp-market auctions; stakable to secure the network (per available project docs; no whitepaper was found). Evidence: the open protocol — the token is the chain’s native unit by consensus rules; there is no issuer to claim against.

## Verification verdict
Class NATIVE (Native) — FORA-01 scale: verification, not a quality ranking.
q1 VERIFIED · q2–q5 N/A (structural — bearer-native asset)

## Plain-language utility
Native fuel of the Hyperliquid network — pays for transactions and computation.

## Key risks & notes
No standalone official whitepaper exists; the team's official docs site is the canonical source (summary grounded in the official docs, which I read). Centralization concerns: validator set is relatively small, there is no automatic slashing, and ~23.8% of supply went to core contributors. The Arbitrum bridge depends on a 2/3 validator quorum. Faces intense competition from other high-throughput L1s and perpetual DEXs.

## Primary source
