Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange, has expanded its HIP-4 outcome contracts beyond crypto price milestones into real-world event betting. The platform now allows users to trade macro contracts on offchain events like inflation data and interest-rate decisions directly alongside crypto perpetuals from a single account. This positions Hyperliquid as a competitor to established platforms like Polymarket, using validators for dispute resolution instead of UMA-style external mechanisms.
