DeFi Token Perpetuals
Trade UNI, AAVE, MKR, CRV, COMP, SNX, LDO and other DeFi-token perpetuals.
DeFi tokens give holders governance rights and (sometimes) cash flows from the protocols they govern. Hyperliquid offers perpetuals on the largest DeFi names — Uniswap, Aave, MakerDAO, Curve, Synthetix, Compound, Lido — letting you trade DeFi narratives without holding the underlying.

How defi perpetuals work
When you open a perpetual position you don't take delivery of the underlying asset. You're posting margin against a contract whose price tracks the underlying. Profits and losses are settled in USDC on Hyperliquid as the price moves.
Hyperliquid runs a fully on-chain order book with sub-second matching. Every trade, fill, and funding payment is verifiable on the Hyperliquid L1 chain. There are no off-chain matching engines, no withdrawal queues, and no custodian holding your funds.
Liquidiction routes orders through Hyperliquid as a builder code, which means you sign trades from your own wallet and Hyperliquid charges a small builder fee on close. Funding is paid hourly. Liquidations occur if your margin falls below the maintenance threshold.
