Hyperliquid has outlined how permissionless HIP-4 outcome markets will work in a future network upgrade, starting on testnet before reaching mainnet. According to Hyperliquid, deployers will stake 500,000 HYPE, while validators will oversee standardized templates and settlement quality. The update aims to expand prediction markets by allowing more participants to launch markets without validator approval for every listing.
According to Hyperliquid, permissionless deployment will follow a testing period after validators complete battle testing under the current deployment model. The network said validators will first approve standardized outcome templates before deployers can launch markets.
Notably, those templates will remain stored and enforced onchain. Deployers will then create markets using approved formats while handling settlement under the template's requirements. Multiple deployers may also launch identical market templates without restrictions.
Meanwhile, Hyperliquid said validator-created canonical markets will continue. However, the network expects those markets to remain limited to fewer than 10 outcome questions annually.
Hyperliquid also detailed the requirements facing future deployers. Each participant must stake 500,000 HYPE, with validators retaining authority to slash stakes for poorly defined markets, incorrect settlements, or unresolved outcomes exceeding one week.
Additionally, deployer stakes will remain locked for six months. However, deployers must settle every active market before withdrawing their stake. Each deployer will initially receive capacity for 100 outcomes, while settled markets will free allocation for future use.
Hyperliquid also plans to introduce an auction mechanism that will allow deployers to expand their allocation beyond the initial limit.
According to Hyperliquid, outcome markets represent a much larger opportunity than spot or perpetual markets because tradable events greatly outnumber available crypto assets.
Deployers will also receive up to a 50% fee share from their markets, although full fee configuration will arrive later. Additionally, only AQAv2 quote tokens will qualify under HIP-4.
The announcement builds on HIP-4's May launch, when Hyperliquid introduced curated prediction markets. According to the network, those markets generated about $100 million in trading volume during their first month. Hyperliquid added that all specifications remain preliminary and could change before permissionless deployment reaches testnet and later mainnet.
