HypersightvsHyperliquidSame venue, same order book, same fees. The question is which front door you walk through.

The Hypersight case, in three numbers
Side by side
marks the stronger sideChoose Hyperliquid if…
- You want the reference implementation, maintained by the team that builds the chain.
- You want every feature the moment it ships, including the ones no frontend has wired yet.
- You already have a wallet, know the venue, and want the fewest possible layers between you and it.
- You would rather trust one interface than evaluate several.
Choose Hypersight if…
- You want to start without a wallet: an email code creates self-custodial keys, no seed phrase, no extension.
- You trade HIP-4 prediction markets and want them presented as questions and odds rather than raw coins.
- You want the archive of resolved markets that Hyperliquid purges after settlement.
- You want multi-step actions collapsed into one click, with the app sequencing the protocol steps.
- You want the interface in your language: it ships in eight.
This is not a competitor page
Hypersight is a frontend for Hyperliquid. Every order placed here goes to Hyperliquid's on-chain order book, matches against the same depth, and settles the same way. There is no separate pool, no internal book, no wrapped position. If Hyperliquid is down, Hypersight is down. Comparing the two is not comparing venues, it is comparing front doors to one venue.
Which means the honest framing is: the official interface is the default, and a frontend has to justify itself. Below is what we think justifies it, and where it plainly does not.
What a frontend can add
The first thing is the door itself. Hyperliquid assumes you arrive with a wallet. Hypersight lets you sign in with an email one-time code, which creates a self-custodial wallet with no seed phrase to write down and no extension to install. The keys are yours either way; what changes is whether the first five minutes require prior crypto experience.
The second is HIP-4. Prediction markets exist at the protocol level as outcome coins, which is exactly the right abstraction for a chain and exactly the wrong one for a person deciding whether a team wins. Hypersight renders them as questions, odds and tickets, and keeps a permanent archive of resolved markets, which matters because Hyperliquid purges settled markets from its API. Your own trade history on a resolved market becomes unreadable at the source; here it stays a question with a result.
The third is sequencing. Several protocol actions need three or four steps in the right order, and a frontend can collapse them into one intent. That is not a feature the venue is missing; it is work a venue should not have to do.
Where you should just use Hyperliquid
If you already have a wallet, know the venue and trade perps only, the official interface is the shortest path and it costs you no frontend fee. That is a real advantage and it is why the row above gives it to them.
The same goes for the frontier. Hyperliquid ships features the moment they exist; every frontend, including this one, wires them afterwards. If you want something the day it lands, go to the source.
The fee argument is temporarily off the table: our builder fee is 0% until October 31, 2026, so trading through Hypersight currently costs exactly what trading directly costs. After that it returns to a volume-tiered rate that falls as your volume grows.

Frequently asked questions
Is my order really on Hyperliquid?
Yes. Hypersight places orders directly on Hyperliquid's on-chain order book through its API. There is no internal book and no counterparty in between: the same depth, the same matching engine, the same settlement.
Does using Hypersight cost more than going direct?
Not right now. Our builder fee is 0% until October 31, 2026, so the cost is identical to trading directly. Afterwards a volume-tiered builder fee applies on top of Hyperliquid's own exchange fee, and it falls as your 14-day volume grows.
Who holds my funds?
You do, on both. Hypersight never custodies funds. Signing in by email creates a self-custodial wallet whose keys stay on your device, and you can export them at any time or connect your own wallet instead.
What happens to my prediction markets after they resolve?
Hyperliquid purges settled markets from its API, which makes older positions hard to read at the source. Hypersight indexes them into a permanent archive, so a resolved market keeps its question, its outcome and its date.
Can I use my existing Hyperliquid account?
Yes. Connect the same wallet and your balances, positions and open orders are the account's, not the interface's. Nothing needs migrating, because there is nothing to migrate.
