Today, the XPL hyperp experienced a period of significant volatility, where the mark price increased by ~2.5x over several minutes. Throughout this period, the Hyperliquid blockchain functioned as designed without any technical issues, first executing liquidations against the order book and then falling back to auto-deleveraging (ADL) as per its public specifications. Hyperps use isolated-only margining, meaning pnl from all users are isolated from all positions on other assets. All liquidations and ADLs affected only XPL positions, and the protocol incurred no bad debt.
Pre-launch markets are inherently unpredictable. The robust mark price formula for hyperps correctly prevented an instant spike, requiring several minutes of elevated order book prices before triggering liquidations.
Hyperliquid is a permissionless protocol with different markets, each with unique risk profiles. Users are strongly encouraged to read the documentation to understand the mechanics of markets like hyperps and to apply appropriate risk management before trading. All hyperps include a warning for users to beware of low liquidity, high volatility, and increased liquidation risk.
Lastly, some users expressed a desire to short using a highly collateralized position. After the next network upgrade, the mark price of hyperps will be capped at 10x the 8-hour mark price EMA. This condition has never been close to being hit, but provides a mathematical formula for bounds on liquidation prices for overcollateralized shorts. The 8-hour EMA is already reported onchain and in the API as the oracle price for hyperps. Note that this would not have changed any of today’s liquidations or ADLs, but is intended to encourage liquidity provision during periods of volatility. Different suggestions from users all come with a different set of risk vectors. The best solution is to onboard more liquidity for these markets to reduce the effects of volatility.

offtopic but if you're a host or interviewer, please don't cut off your guests when they are speaking
in fact, this should apply to all conversations even with fnf or colleagues or whoever

Based on user feedback, hyperp mark prices will use the normal mark price formula incorporating external pre-launch perp prices for the same asset if available. This has no noticeable effect on the vast majority of users and instances, but improves robustness of the system. To be clear, this does not affect funding rates or realized pnl. Thank you to the users who shared constructive feedback based on their interactions with hyperp markets.

It's Nvidia earnings day:
The options market is currently pricing in a 6.1% post-earnings implied move in Nvidia, $NVDA.
This implies a swing of ~$270 BILLION of market cap after the close today.
This is more than the market cap of 95% of S&P 500 companies.
It's also more than the market cap of all but 41 public companies in the world.
Buckle up.

been thinking about PMs and i can see how as it accelerates, the world becomes more dystopian similar to black mirror
in a world where almost everything is on the PM, people are incentivised to act accordingly to the odds instead
eerily similar to when influencers let their followers decide their day/decisions as content (happening)
just imagine that when the pot gets big enough and society is on a decline, people are forced to make decisions that align with money instead (we saw a glimpse of this during pumpfun streaming phase -> black mirror s7e1)
basic example:
"odds of streamer A pulling out his tooth on stream"
when the odds are advantageous enough, streamer A places a big bet and pulls his tooth
extreme case:
"odds of taylor swift having a miscarriage"
with a big enough pot and odds, it might actually happen
the entire dildo in wnba is just a prequel
an eventuality if we put everything on the prediction market

current stance is that its still early for PMs
still plenty of infrastructure to work on such as oracles, marketmakers, liquidity, etc.
a bit early for its time, but a vertical to keep watch in the years ahead
i don't think PM is better than memecoins or vice versa, both are different expressions and will likely have different applications in the hypergambling space
one is binary with capped upside and longer wait times, other has quicker dopamine hits with room to dream
