What is Hyperliquid and how does it work?

Hyperliquid's a DeFi perp DEX on its own L1, using an on-chain orderbook and HLP vault for liquidity — trade BTC/ETH perps with low fees, no KYC.

Will Hyperliquid replace centralized exchanges for perps trading?

Not fully soon, but at 6% share it's pressuring them; if regs tighten, it could grab 15-20% by 2025.

Is Hyperliquid safe for high-use trading?

Audited, MEV-resistant, but smart contract risks exist — start small, hedge wisely.
