# Welcome to Liquidiction

Liquidiction is the prediction market frontend for HIP-4 on Hyperliquid.

Trade binary and multi-outcome prediction markets directly on HyperCore L1 with full on-chain settlement, non-custodial execution, and real-time data.

## What is Liquidiction?

Liquidiction provides a purpose-built trading interface for Hyperliquid's native prediction market infrastructure (HIP-4). While Hyperliquid's own UI supports outcome trading, Liquidiction focuses entirely on the prediction market experience with features like:

* **Trading**: Market, limit, ladder, and TWAP orders
* **Real-time charts**: Price, volume, and multi-outcome visualization
* **Portfolio**: Live positions, PnL calendars, trade history
* **Explorer**: Sortable market data with depth, volume, and open interest
* **Leaderboard**: Top traders ranked by PnL, volume, and win rate
* **Analytics**: Aggregate volume charts, unique traders, and cross-platform market share (Polymarket vs Kalshi vs HIP-4)

## Why Hyperliquid?

Prediction markets on Hyperliquid are fundamentally different from platforms like Polymarket:

|                    | Liquidiction (HIP-4)     | Polymarket              |
| ------------------ | ------------------------ | ----------------------- |
| **Execution**      | On-chain L1 orderbook    | Off-chain matching      |
| **Custody**        | Non-custodial, always    | Deposits to contract    |
| **Settlement**     | Native HyperCore         | Smart contract / oracle |
| **Speed**          | Sub-second block times   | Variable                |
| **Fee model**      | Standard spot fees       | Platform fees           |
| **Infrastructure** | Same as HYPE spot/perps  | Separate system         |
| **Margin**         | Unified account (future) | Isolated per market     |

HIP-4 outcomes trade on the same spot orderbook infrastructure that powers all of Hyperliquid's spot trading. This means the same speed, the same liquidity engine, and the same security model.

## Capital Efficiency

Research shows 100,693 wallets are active on both Polymarket and Hyperliquid, generating $6.1B in PM volume. These traders currently split their capital across platforms. HIP-4's unified margin account means prediction positions can eventually share collateral with perps and spot, reducing capital requirements by 30-60%.

## Current Status

Liquidiction is live on **Hyperliquid testnet**. All markets, trades, and positions use testnet USDH. Mainnet launch will follow Hyperliquid's HIP-4 mainnet deployment.

Grab some USDH and help us battle-test before mainnet.
