HIP-4 Battle Begins: Who Will Be the Next trade.xyz?

The race to become Hyperliquid's flagship prediction market is now a live experiment in permissionless competition, with early movers committing significant capital to establish dominance.

This deployment will reveal how effectively Hyperliquid's infrastructure supports competing protocols without fragmentation.
