Phemex highlighted the expansion of Hyperliquid, which has introduced off-chain event prediction market contracts via its HIP-4 protocol upgrade. This new feature allows users to trade and settle prediction markets using validator-based consensus without relying on external oracles, and is integrated into the same margin ecosystem as perpetual and spot trading.
Hyperliquid has launched off-chain event prediction market contracts, known as canonical outcome markets, following the HIP-4 protocol upgrade. According to information provided, these markets use validator-based automated newsfeeds to support deployment and settlement of real-world event outcomes, removing the need for external oracle services.
The update allows users to hold prediction market positions within the same margin ecosystem used for perpetual and spot trading. Settlement is currently conducted with USDH as the quote asset, with a planned transition to USDC under an upcoming system upgrade. Validator performance has increased significance since accurate settlement relies on their consensus, and trading volumes from these markets contribute new revenue streams for the protocol.
