Hyperliquid: The new ruler of the on-chain trading ecosystem with 90% of TVL concentrated in the HLP treasury

Hyperliquid: Next-Generation on-chain Trading Ecosystem

Hyperliquid is an on-chain perpetual contract DEX running on a self-developed Layer 1, offering centralized exchange-level performance while maintaining on-chain transparency. Its native token $HYPE is responsible for network governance, can reduce trading fees after staking, and captures value through buybacks via listing auctions.

The core liquidity of the protocol is the HLP Vault, a hybrid vault that combines market makers and liquidity providers, accounting for over 90% of the TVL. In March 2025, Hyperliquid experienced the $JELLYJELLY manipulation event, which nearly triggered a chain liquidation across the entire vault. This incident exposed the centralization issues in validator governance, but the intervention of the Hyper Foundation ultimately prevented a system collapse.

Despite experiencing a crisis, Hyperliquid has quickly rebounded thanks to the stickiness of whale users and ecological expansion, setting new highs in trading volume, open interest, and $HYPE price. Currently, the platform has launched over 21 new dApps, covering NFT, DeFi tools, and treasury infrastructure, with functionality far exceeding that of perpetual exchanges.

The success of Hyperliquid stems from three main factors:

  1. A truly community-oriented token model, no VC investment, over 70% allocated to the community.

  2. A trading experience at the level of centralized exchanges, but without centralized risks.

  3. Comprehensive product depth, including spot, perpetual, HyperEVM, HLP vault, etc.

The launch of HyperEVM further expands the ecological boundaries, supporting the construction of various DeFi and NFT applications, forming a positive cycle of "new project deployment → increased gas consumption → supporting $HYPE value → attracting more users and developers."

Despite ongoing controversies such as governance centralization, Hyperliquid has become one of the dominant platforms for on-chain trading, ranking seventh in fees across the entire crypto ecosystem over the past 30 days. It is moving towards the goal of creating the "only on-chain trading platform needed", from spot to perpetual, and then to the entire DeFi ecosystem.

Isn't there a risk of concentration since the TVL has all gone to HLP?

The degree of centralization is too high...
