Lots of memes about this guy on the timeline right now...
1/ Ever notice how the same "gurus" magically appear at the peak of every hype wave, milk it for cash, then ghost into the next one with a fresh rebrand?

Sounds potentially better than Polymarket. I don't know if they will compete though because I don't see Hyperliquid running the same skeezy marketing campaigns the existing guys do.
HIP-4 update. This one is big.
Hyperliquid just removed the need for external oracles on prediction markets. The validator set itself is now the oracle.
The same 24 validators that sign blocks every 70ms, secure $3B+ in deposits, and vote bridge withdrawals now deploy and settle prediction markets natively. Automated newsfeed software running as part of regular chain operations. Deployment and resolution through onchain validator vote.
No Chainlink. No Pyth. No UMA. No third party. Closed circuit.
Polymarket uses UMA. Kalshi is centralized. Hyperliquid just made real-world event resolution a native chain function.
