Overview
HyperCore currently supports around 200,000 orders per second. Supersmooth routes perpetual futures and spot trades through Hyperliquid, with position management pages that expose native exchange-layer order types. Because Hyperliquid runs its own layer 1, assets bridge into Hyperliquid rather than living on Ethereum directly. Supersmooth provides an in-app bridge flow so users can fund their Hyperliquid account from the same wallet used for lending positions.Origin and timeline
Hyperliquid launched in 2023, built by a team that famously took no venture funding. The November 2024 HYPE genesis distribution to users was among the largest community airdrops ever. The Hyperliquid builder-code system lets interfaces route orders and earn fees at the settlement layer, which is the mechanism Supersmooth uses.Design tradeoffs
- Orderbook rather than automated market maker: Hyperliquid provides real limit orders, real depth, and native Take Profit and Stop Loss order types. This is why Supersmooth perpetual futures automations use the exchange layer rather than keepers.
- Its own layer 1: Hyperliquid delivers centralized-exchange-grade performance and composability within the Hyperliquid ecosystem, where HyperCore primitives are accessible to HyperEVM contracts. Assets bridge into Hyperliquid rather than living on Ethereum.
- Funding-rate pricing: perpetual futures price amplified exposure through funding, which is sometimes cheaper than borrow rates and sometimes far more expensive. Supersmooth puts both in one interface so the comparison can actually be made.
