Hyperliquid's HIP-4 testnet upgrade now allows developers to deploy standardized outcome markets by staking 100 HYPE tokens, eliminating auction and gas fees. This marks a big step in making market creation more accessible on their platform.
Meanwhile, HYPE’s price fell under the $55 mark, testing support around $52 to $54 amid rising whale transfers and intensified selling pressure. In the past 24 hours, the protocol burned approximately 26,080 HYPE worth about $1.43 million while fees collected hit nearly $1.47 million, reinforcing the ongoing buyback-and-burn strategy.
Currently, registered developers can create up to 50 markets daily with a cap of 10 active outcome contracts. Each contract uses validator-approved templates to ensure consistency in settlement and language, reducing market duplication. Hyperliquid plans to introduce more templates and configurable fees as this permissionless testnet phase gathers momentum.
The full mainnet rollout envisions a 500,000 HYPE staking requirement with a six-month lockup and validator slashing, designed to secure scalable and reliable market creation.
