Perpetuals

Core Web integrates Hyperliquid for perpetual futures: users trade perps from inside Core, with Hyperliquid providing the order books, margin engine, and settlement.

How it hangs together​

  • Trading happens on Hyperliquid's own chain against its clearinghouse; Core Web is a frontend to it, signing orders with the user's key.
  • Funding a perps account means moving collateral (USDC) to Hyperliquid; Core Web handles the deposit and withdrawal flow, which is visible on-chain like any bridge-style transfer.
  • Positions, margin, and PnL shown in Core mirror the user's Hyperliquid clearinghouse state — the same state any Hyperliquid interface shows.

Developer notes​

There is no Core-specific perps API. Programmatic trading targets Hyperliquid's API directly; what Core adds is wallet-native access for users. HyperEVM and Hypercore are supported networks, so Hyperliquid-ecosystem dapps can also connect to Core wallets the standard way.
