Papertrade has officially launched, with 11,473 addresses depositing $137 million

According to the official website, Papertrade, a synthetic perpetual protocol built on HyperEVM, has officially launched. Its pre-deposit phase has closed, with 11,473 addresses depositing $137 million.

Papertrade is a fully onchain synthetic perpetual trading platform deployed on HyperEVM. It reads the BBO midpoint price from the Hyperliquid order book, and users trade directly against the protocol's LP as the counterparty rather than through traditional order book matching. It focuses on high leverage, zero slippage, and no funding rates. The native token PAPER has an initial supply of zero, with no pre-mine, team, or VC allocation. The only minting source is user losses or liquidations. In the early stage after launch, PAPER is not freely transferable and is primarily used for staking.
