1️⃣ How Hypersurface Actually Works There has been increasing interest in how on-chain options liquidity is created and how Hypersurface operates under the hood. 👇 This post breaks down the mechanics. - 2️⃣ How options liquidity works in traditional markets In OTC options markets, liquidity is not passive. When... a user sells an option, a desk takes the other side and replicates the payoff through delta hedging. This process requires collateral to secure the position and capital to hedge directional exposure. If the user does not provide collateral, the desk must source capital externally. That cost of capital is embedded into pricing. The result is wider spreads and lower premiums for the user. - 3️⃣ What Hypersurface changes Hypersurface removes the dependency on external desks. Liquidity is created directly within the protocol. Instead of routing flow to third parties, the system prices the option, takes the position, and hedges exposure programmatically. - 4️⃣ Execution and hedging When a position enters the system, the protocol computes the delta of the position and executes a corresponding hedge directly on Hyperliquid. This is not manual execution. It is deterministic and contract-driven. - 5️⃣ Why Hyperliquid matters This architecture is enabled by Hyperliquid’s core EVM integration. It allows smart contracts to execute trades directly on the exchange without transferring funds to externally controlled accounts. This removes a critical trust assumption present in most systems. - 6️⃣ Fund custody and control. User funds remain within smart contracts at all times. There is no transfer to team-controlled wallets, no manual custody layer, and no off-chain execution dependency. All actions, including hedging and settlement, are executed at the contract level. - 7️⃣ What this enables. By internalizing liquidity and automating hedging, the system achieves tighter pricing, improved capital efficiency, and scalability without solely relying on external market makers. Market makers can participate to improve the quote, but they have to compete with the protocol, which results in better, more reliable prices for users. - 8️⃣ Context. In traditional and CeFi systems, similar strategies exist. However, they rely on centralized exchanges, custodial execution, and off-chain coordination. Hypersurface replicates these mechanics on-chain with reduced trust assumptions and full transparency. - 9️⃣ Conclusion. Liquidity is created within the protocol. Exposure is hedged programmatically. Funds remain in smart contracts. No intermediaries. No manual execution. This is how on-chain options infrastructure scales. - Join the Hypersurface community on Telegram or Discord! 📎 📎show more

I sell options on HS. I saw some critics saying they "trade with user money", this take just tells me people don't know how options work. You sell a call, someone takes the other side. They delta hedge. That's not trading your money, that's keeping the position solvent. Every options MM does this. If they didn't, the pool would be naked short options and that's how things blow up. What's actually interesting here is the hedge runs on-chain through contracts on HyperEVM. I can see it happening in real time. Good luck getting that kind of visibility from a CEX market maker. So people want on-chain options but don't want anyone hedging them? Pick one.😅

Question. In execution and hedging, it says “when a position enters the system” the algo computes and hedge. Why is there a fixed earning already displayed in the contract? Does this mean that you have already hedge this position?

Hypersurface5 months ago

Hey @bitcoinearly. This expected APR is the premium the user receives for what the protocol is willing to pay for the long position. Users take short, and the protocol takes long.

Question. When claiming contracts after expiry, It mostly fail for me that I go and make a ticket and team asks for my wallet address before it can be resolved. Why is this? Is the claiming gated by the team by any chance?

3 reasons why we chose to deploy our rollup in the ZKsync Elastic Chain ecosystem. 1⃣ SXT smart contract execution layer SXT is a blockchain designed for collecting, storing, querying, and proving data to smart contracts. Unlike an EVM chain, it's not designed to execute smart contracts. In order to support critical functions for the SXT network, like staking and slashing for node ops, as well as to allow devs to deploy their own smart contracts directly on SXT, we built our own ZK rollup with ZKsync’s stack. It serves as the settlement and smart contract execution layer for SXT. 2⃣ Elastic Chain ecosystem We 🩷 the ZKsync community, and building in the Elastic Chain ecosystem gives us access to an array of other rollups, users, apps, and smart contracts that need ZK-proven data. The Elastic Chain includes some of the coolest projects in crypto across DeFi, social, NFTs, and more, and we're excited to build with them. 3⃣ ZK is the endgame ZKsync is fast, secure, scalable, and the best-in-class zkEVM. Full stop. We’re incredibly bullish on ZK in general, but more specifically the ZKsync roadmap and everything being built by the community and the Matter Labs team. 🎙️: chain builder on The Rollup

Tokenization as Infrastructure, Not a Shortcut In this clip, André Casterman explains why tokenization is best understood as an upgrade to the internet’s financial infrastructure, not a guarantee of liquidity or success. Tokenization does not create demand on its own. Liquidity still matters. What it does change is the efficiency of how value moves. Cheaper settlement. Faster transfer. Native verifiability. Stablecoins are a clear example. Instead of routing payments through correspondent banking and local clearing entities, value can move directly by transferring tokens. The asset does not need to be physically moved or reconciled across jurisdictions. The result is lower cost and less friction. Verifiability is the real unlock. Unlike physical assets, which require costly and invasive processes to prove authenticity, tokenized assets can be verified on-chain, publicly, and without altering the asset itself. This is the shift from moving information to moving value. Tokenization is not a product. It is infrastructure. And infrastructure is what enables real-world use at scale. — André Casterman

You all know I’m deep into DeFi and a long-term holder of $LINK and $KASPA. Now I found Hypersurface and it genuinely surprised me. Hypersurface pays you for waiting. Instead of placing a normal buy or sell order and doing nothing, you set the same price on Hypersurface, get paid upfront, and earn high yield while the market decides. Two ways to use it: Covered calls (selling): - You own a token and are happy to sell higher. - Set your price, get paid upfront, earn yield while waiting. - If price never hits, you keep the token and premium. - If it hits, you sell at your price and still keep the premium. Cash-secured puts (buying): - You want to buy lower. - Set your price, get paid upfront, earn yield while waiting. - If price never drops, you keep cash plus premium. - If it does, you buy at the price you already wanted and keep the premium. What makes Hypersurface different is the structure. Liquidity stays on-chain. Inventory is managed by the protocol. Risk is hedged automatically. No off-chain desks. No custody games. It’s getting paid to place limit orders, done properly for DeFi. If you’re still just waiting on spot orders or trading perps, you’re missing this. 👉 Disclaimer:

The next milestone for the Stablecoin FX Layer When we launched the FX Layer on Uniswap v4, the objective wasn't simply to deploy liquidity. It was to rethink how stablecoin liquidity is coordinated. The initial deployment brought $150M to Uniswap v4 and processed $70M+ in volume within its first three days. Today's integration of Sky's LitePSM into Uniswap's routing infrastructure is another important step towards that vision. Why? Because the Stablecoin FX Layer is designed to unlock a different liquidity model: - Reduce the need for every new stablecoin issuer to bootstrap liquidity from scratch. - Coordinate liquidity across multiple stablecoin pairs. - Put idle capital to work whilst maintaining instant liquidity. - Improve execution through deeper, connected routing. With LitePSM, USDS has direct 1:1 convertibility with USDC, allowing Uniswap's router to access one of the deepest sources of stablecoin liquidity when determining the best execution path. The result is: - Traders: access deeper liquidity and lower slippage - Stablecoin issuers: connect to a shared liquidity instead of bootstrapping it from scratch. - Builders: Build apps on shared liquidity infrastructure, not fragmented pools. Today's integration is the next milestone. The Stablecoin FX Layer wasn't a one-off launch. It's an evolving liquidity architecture, and every new integration strengthens the network.

trUSD/USDC is live on Fluid 🌊 Smart Lending. What is different about this one: In an ordinary liquidity pool your inventory sits idle between swaps. Fluid lends the position into its liquidity layer at the same time, so it is pool liquidity and a lending position at once. What you earn: The lending rate Fluid's liquidity layer pays on the position, a share of the fees on swaps routed through the pool, and 30x Cores for supplying. The pool reads 2.13% today. trUSD does not accrue the strategy yield that strUSD does. This pool is a way to hold it and earn a rate anyway. Deposit one token or both, withdraw any time. Links below.

Introducing Buccaneer. Ethereum's first and only private currency. Watch how it breaks a trail and funds a brand new wallet with ETH, without paying gas fees in ETH, all in under 5 minutes. Most importantly of all, this is happening completely on-chain. No L2s, no roll-ups. Just an ERC20 token and some contracts. This project has achieved what every other privacy project could only dream of, funded with just $750k years ago from a loyal, tight knit community to accomplish this. Nobody even knows this exists yet. Ethereum is no longer an open, transparent network. This protocol cannot be taken down or stopped, it lives entirely within Ethereum alongside a DApp capable of running on IPFS. This is the ultimate censorship resistance. It is impossible to stop the flow of money in and out of this. The possibilities and implications of this technology are only just beginning to be explored. The protocol is live and fully operational. Check it out: Welcome to privacy.

Visualising how far Cardano has come. What you are seeing here is live on chain DEX activity as the chain syncs over the last hour. Real swaps, real transactions, and the resulting liquidity changes unfolding in real time. No simulations, no replays. Just the ledger behaving as specified, and me reading it directly. I also built a DEX battle view, showing swap activity across the DEXs I track over the same period. It makes something very clear. Competition on Cardano is real. Liquidity competes, routing competes, and execution quality matters. Watching DEXs contend for flow is a good signal that the network is being actively used. I have upgraded my arbitrage dashboard to pull swap execution, pool state changes, monitoring, and analytics into one place. Cardano’s determinism matters here. Every state transition I can predict, they are traceable, and verifiable. That is what makes this kind of application straightforward to build and reliable to operate over time. It is an extremely valuable architectural decision that Cardano gives to builders, and one that continues to pay dividends as systems scale and complexity increases. (Apologies on the other DEX's, I have these integrated but also some pending changes on an upgrade I am doing and not yet finishes so didn't want to include without reliable results) Please comment thoughts, I wanted to share behind the scenes on what is happening across Cardano.

By providing liquidity on Somnia Exchange, you can earn swap fees and join the SOMI reward program. Here’s how it works 👇 1️⃣ What is liquidity? Liquidity means depositing two tokens (for example SOMI + USDC.e) into a pool to enable trading between them. Your capital acts as a bridge for traders and you earn a share of every transaction that happens through your pool. 2️⃣ How do you earn? Around 83% of every swap fee is distributed directly to liquidity providers (LPs). This income automatically accumulates inside your LP position there is no claim button. To realize profits, you can simply withdraw partially from your position at any time. 3️⃣ SOMI Liquidity Program On top of swap fees, LPs also earn points from the 1,000,000 SOMI reward pool. You can check the current reward status here 👇 🔗 4️⃣ How to add liquidity? Once you have SOMI and USDC.e in your wallet, you can directly provide liquidity to the pool below 👇 🔗 Watch the video below for a step-by-step guide 🎥

If you’re watching gold right now, you need more than just price. That’s exactly why GoldFish’s newsletter matters. It breaks down: → Gold market movements → Institutional accumulation trends → The on-chain shift (incl. $GFIN) → Where the gold market is heading No noise. No hype. Just the insights that actually matter. Because here’s the reality: Gold isn’t just “doing well.” It’s in a full macro shift. Central banks are accumulating. Institutions are increasing exposure. And gold is quietly becoming one of the most important assets to watch again. But most people miss it. They focus on price… and ignore the why behind the move. Personally, I’m watching: • Who’s buying (and how much) • What macro forces are driving demand • Where liquidity is flowing • And how on-chain gold like $GGBR fits into this shift Because this is where it gets interesting: Gold’s macro momentum is now meeting on-chain access. Through $GGBR, gold isn’t just something you track, it’s something you can actually use and position into. In a market like this, being early > being reactive. Stay ahead of the move →

If you’re watching gold right now, you need more than just price. That’s exactly why GoldFish’s newsletter matters. It breaks down: → Gold market movements → Institutional accumulation trends → The on-chain shift (incl. $GFIN) → Where the gold market is heading No noise. No hype.

Liquidity is one of those things you don't think about until it starts costing you money. I tested Bitget’s rToken by placing a trade on a tokenized US stock to see how the execution actually felt. For anyone unfamiliar, rToken lets you trade tokenized US stocks like rAAPL, rTSLA, and rNVDA, with each token backed 1:1 by an actual share. The biggest difference I noticed wasn't the interface, it was the execution. My order filled quickly, the spread stayed tight, and I didn't experience noticeable slippage on the trade. Compared with some tokenized asset platforms that rely more heavily on market makers and thinner liquidity, rToken is connected to deep liquidity linked to the underlying NASDAQ and NYSE markets. That can make a meaningful difference when markets are moving fast, because execution quality matters just as much as price. This isn't about promising better returns. It's about understanding that good liquidity can mean cleaner fills, tighter spreads, and less slippage.

Cross-chain infrastructure has a vocabulary problem. The word "Atomic" appears in bridge protocols, HTLC swaps and interoperability solutions of every kind. It's being used to describe mechanisms that deliver fundamentally different guarantees, and the industry isn't being precise enough about the difference. > Economic atomicity is what most bridges and cross-chain swaps deliver. The smart contract guarantees an all-or-nothing outcome at the application layer, but both legs still settle on separate chains through separate consensus mechanisms. The guarantee depends on both parties behaving rationally within timelock windows that are measured in hours. When a validator gets compromised, a chain reorgs, an attacker locks counterparty capital and simply waits, the smart contract can't protect against any of it. The window of exposure between two separate settlement events is where the damage happens. > Consensus-level atomicity is what Zenith delivers. Both legs of a transaction are processed within the same single consensus mechanism as one indivisible operation. There is no window and no timelock. The protocol itself guarantees that both legs commit together or neither does, regardless of what either party does or what the infrastructure beneath them does. For consumer applications that distinction is manageable, but for institutional finance moving real capital across chain boundaries, it's the difference between infrastructure you can depend on and infrastructure that works until something goes wrong. The EVM execution adds a few hundred milliseconds to Canton's native finality time, that's the entire overhead. Compared to timelock windows measured in hours, the latency difference alone changes what's possible to build. We wrote the full breakdown about two flavours of atomic that are worth understanding clearly before you build on either: Zth.
