Hey everyone,
Big update for Hyperliquid traders on Gainium: we now support HIP-3 builder-deployed perpetuals.
In plain English — your Hyperliquid bots can now trade tokenized US stocks (NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, AMZN), equity indices (XYZ100, synthetic Nasdaq), gold, silver, oil, agricultural commodities, and FX pairs. All USDC-settled. All 24/7. All from the exact same Hyperliquid connection you already have.
What’s HIP-3?
HIP-3 is the Hyperliquid upgrade (live on mainnet since October 2025) that lets third-party builders deploy their own perpetual markets on Hyperliquid’s matching engine. The biggest deployer is trade.xyz — they’re already pushing tens of billions in cumulative volume and have markets like XYZ100 sitting in the top 10 perps by volume on Hyperliquid.
What changes for you in Gainium?
Honestly, very little — and that’s the point:
- HIP-3 markets show up in the symbol selector alongside native Hyperliquid pairs
- All bot types work: DCA, Grid, Combo, Hedge, Max Gain AI, Terminal
- Backtesting, indicators, notifications — all behave identically
- Same USDC balance, same connection, no new API keys
Fees
- Hyperliquid protocol side: HIP-3 markets charge ~2x standard perp fees (≈0.07%–0.09% taker), with half going to the market deployer. Some markets enable “Growth Mode” which cuts fees by 90%+.
- Gainium side: Unchanged. Free User mode = builder fee, no credits. Paid User mode = no builder fee, uses plan credits.
Strategy ideas
- Long-bias DCA on XYZ100 for 24/7 automated index accumulation
- Grid bots on gold and silver — textbook ranging assets
- Cross-asset diversification on a single exchange (crypto + equities + commodities, one balance)
- Terminal deals on individual stocks for news/earnings setups without a brokerage
Things to know
- Equity/commodity oracles use deployer-chosen sources — off-hours spreads can widen, test before sizing up
- Liquidity is concentrated in flagship markets (XYZ100, silver, top equities); niche markets are thinner
- Each deployer sets its own max leverage and margin rules — read the contract spec
- Deployers can halt and settle a market under defined conditions (rare, but possible)
