trade[XYZ] is the first HIP-3 builder-deployed perpetual venue on Hyperliquid, launched October 13, 2025 by the Hyperunit team. It operates 24/7 cash-settled perpetual markets covering US equities, ETFs, equity indices (including the world's first officially S&P 500-licensed perpetual via sister deployment ABCD, March 2026), commodities, FX, and pre-IPO/private-company valuations. Markets appear under the xyz namespace and are margined and cash-settled in USDC, giving users synthetic price exposure rather than ownership of the underlying. Cumulative volume since launch has exceeded $100B with an annualized run rate above $600B, accounting for over 35% of all Hyperliquid trading volume.

trade[XYZ] is the largest HIP-3 builder-deployer on Hyperliquid (operates ABCD, COIN, ALPHA, and other namespaces). Under HIP-3, user-facing fees are 2x the standard Hyperliquid validator-perp rate (~7-9 bps taker, ~2-3 bps maker on standard mode; Growth Mode reduces all-in fees by 90%+, to ~0.45-0.9 bps taker). The 50% deployer revenue share goes to trade[XYZ]; the remaining 50% goes to the Hyperliquid protocol. Specific per-market rates vary by Growth Mode setting per asset.
