Hypercall @ Consensus HK
Bringing Real Options Liquidity On-Chain: Hypercall stands to democratize a field that was historically accessible only to big institutions.
During Consensus Hong Kong 2026, the Hypercall team was on the ground running demos and pressure testing our design with professional market makers, distribution partners, and builders who would embed options into their products.
The consistent theme in those conversations is the same one that has shaped Hypercall from day one: options scale when hedging is cheap, continuous, and operationally sane.
This blog post is a concise statement of what we’re building and why. It lays out the core bets behind the architecture, how we relate to Hyperliquid, and where we are in the roadmap (docs, education path, Phase 1 testnet rollout).
If you’re a market maker evaluating whether it’s worth integrating, a trader deciding whether on-chain options are finally usable, or a builder looking for an options backend that won’t fragment liquidity, this is the mental model we want you to have before you go any deeper.
(Links to docs and the options education path are included below for anyone who wants to validate specifics.)
Hypercall: In One Sentence
Hypercall is an on-chain options exchange built for real, continuous liquidity. It is designed to be a professional options trading venue: tight spreads, meaningful size, predictable execution, and reliable lifecycle rules.
Instead of trying to "solve" on-chain options with more vaults, more incentives, or more listings. We’re hyper-focused on the actual main constraint:
Options markets scale when market makers can hedge continuously with deep, cheap delta liquidity.
Hypercall is designed so that:
- Options flow is concentrated into a single book
- Options liquidity can grow in proportion to underlying perp depth
- Market makers can hedge delta using Hyperliquid perps (HIP-3)
- The market behaves like a professional surface: continuous quoting, meaningful size, predictable execution
If you strip away narratives, we’re making three bets:
- Options liquidity scales with hedge liquidity.
- Risk semantics must be deterministic and explicit.
- Liquidity must be unified across distribution, not split across apps.
At a high level:
- Hypercall runs the options execution + risk system
- Hyperliquid provides deep perp liquidity and price infrastructure
- Market makers operate an options book, hedge delta in perps, and reconcile deterministically
- Risk semantics, lifecycle rules, and edge cases are made explicit.
Who is Hypercall Built For & How Will They Use it?
We built Hypercall for traders, market makers and builders.
- Traders can:
- Trade options via our professional desktop interface or retail-friendly mobile interface.
- Market Makers can:
- Integrate via an operator-grade API/WS surface
- Run quoting, reconciliation, monitoring, and kill switches
- Hedge delta on Hyperliquid perps
- Integrators/Partners/Builders can:
- Embed options inside other apps (wallets, frontends, partners)
- Route flow into the same shared options market
- Avoid the “ten UIs = ten dead books” problem
Relationship to Hyperliquid
Hypercall is being built on HyperEVM, a high-performance L1 tailored for trading, with Hyperliquid as the perp platform.
Crucially, Hyperliquid supports cross-margin accounts and up to 50× leverage on perpetuals, meaning Hypercall can offer portfolio margining for options from day one.
A successful on-chain options venue demands high throughput and low latency from the underlying chain.
By basing on Hyperliquid’s battle-tested infrastructure, we eliminate the historical issues of slow execution and costly transactions and our users will experience CEX-level speed and responsiveness on-chain, with full transparency.
Roadmap
1. What we have done
2. What we are doing
3. What comes next
What We Have Done
- Released Official Documentation
- Released Options Education Path
Documentation: We Want Your Feedback
The first version of Hypercall Docs is the fastest way for market makers and integrators to sanity-check how we work before we ask anyone to commit time to integrating.

What’s In The Docs?
The docs are organized around the three ways people will interact with Hypercall:
- Trading Manually: This is the mobile UI for placing and managing options orders. It’s designed to be the sleekest, friendliest options trading interface on the market.
- API Trading: This is how both market-makers and third party apps will place orders. This makes up the majority of the docs since “manual trading” is meant to be largely self-explanatory
- Contracts: smart contract architecture and direct on-chain integration
Under the hood, we also document the parts that tend to cause integration churn if they are not explicit up front:
- Margining: what is enforced, what is simulated, and how we think about standard vs portfolio margining
- Venue Rules: instruments, order lifecycle, fees, and the operational rules market makers need to quote safely
- Oracles: what price we treat as canonical, how we compute mark-to-expiry inputs, and what happens at expiry
- Security: audits and reporting surfaces (where applicable)
What We Want Feedback On (specifically)
If you’re a market maker, integrator, or experienced options trader, we’d love feedback on:
- Anything unclear or underspecified (especially margin + liquidation)
- Anything overcomplicated where a simpler rule would be operationally safer
- Any API design choices that will cause integration pain (auth, WS semantics, pagination, idempotency)
- Any missing “day 1” operational details required to quote (market discovery, strike/expiry rules, downtime behavior)
Options Education Path
We launched a full beginner to intermediate options curriculum in the Hypercall docs.
The education path is made of four connected sections you can use as a complete learning path or as a fast lookup library.
- Options Explainers for fundamentals and first trades
- Reading Volatility for intermediate vol literacy
- Reference for concise definitions and formulas
- Greeks Reference for first and second order risk
How To Use the Path
If you already know options basics, you can start with Reading Volatility and use Options Explainers as a Hypercall specific reference.
- Start with Options Explainers for fundamentals and core intuition.
- Move to Reading Volatility once delta, vega, and IV feel natural.
- Use Reference and Greeks Reference whenever you need a definition, formula, or refresher.
What We Are Doing Now
- Testnet Rollout: Mobile Trading Testnet (not live as of this post, live later this week)
- UX Interviews (ongoing)
Testnet Rollout
dulo
We’re taking a phased approach so we can validate mechanics and liquidity incrementally.
WE ARE HERE: Phase 1 (mobile trading, standard margining, UX interviews, and tight feedback loops)
- Phase 2: portfolio margining, broader surface area (API/desktop flows, deeper venue rules)
- Phase 3: mainnet readiness work driven by what we learn in phases 1 and 2
Docs will evolve alongside each phase. The goal of these docs is to display enough specificity that pre-launch reviewers can find the cracks.
UX Interviews
In parallel to public testnet, we are running a short UX interview phase. These will be focused on desktop trading and are meant to confirm that margin, risk, and order outcomes are communicated clearly when the product is used under normal trading conditions.
Sessions are hosted by the product and design team and each interview is a 30 minute live call on desktop with screen sharing.
If you are interested in participating in a UX interview, you can apply using the survey below:
We’re looking for traders who:
- Actively trade crypto derivatives
- Are comfortable with professional trading UIs
- Use desktop/laptop for trading
- Are willing to share honest, critical feedback
We will review responses and contact selected participants directly.
What Comes Next?
Once public testnet is live and the UX interview phase is complete, the next step is iteration before moving to Phase 2.
Phase 2 (subject to change)
Full/complete testnet expands to desktop testnet trading, adds portfolio margin, and enables integrations.
Access:
- Public - standard margin available to all
- Portfolio margin may require application
New Features:
- Web app (desktop interface)
- Perp/spot trading (for Options Writers)
- Portfolio Margin - cross-collateral with Hyperliquid perp and spot
- Permissionless liquidations
- Builder code integration for partners
Expansion of scope will happen after the Phase 1 experience is validated in real use.
Conclusion
Hypercall stands to democratize a field that was historically accessible only to big institutions. Everyday users will be able to tap into sophisticated strategies or earn yield by trading options with proper safeguards, bringing Wall Street level derivatives to anyone with an internet connection.
If LPs can provide liquidity without fear of inevitable blow-ups, and traders get the functionality they expect, on-chain options volumes will eventually rival centralized venues.
