Odaily Planet Daily News Hyperliquid will open permissionless prediction market deployment in the subsequent enhancements following the HIP-4 upgrade, allowing anyone to create prediction markets on the platform. This feature will first launch on the testnet before going live on the mainnet; currently, related markets are entirely controlled by validators.
Hyperliquid stated that ideally, fewer than 10 validator-operated markets will be created annually, with the remaining markets open to external deployers. Deploying a market requires a 500,000 HYPE stake, approximately $30 million. If validators determine that a market is poorly defined or the settlement is erroneous, the staked assets may be slashed. Deployers can receive up to 50% of the trading fees generated by that market.
