About Unit
Introduction to the Unit protocol.
What is Unit?
Unit is the asset tokenization layer on Hyperliquid, enabling seamless deposits and withdrawals for a wide range of assets. Our first integration allows major crypto assets (e.g. BTC, ETH, & SOL) to flow between Hyperliquid and their native blockchains. Built from first principles, Unit's architecture is designed exclusively for Hyperliquid.
With Unit, Hyperliquid users can:
Deposit BTC, ETH, or SOL from their personal wallet or exchange account, directly to Hyperliquid.
Trade, transfer, or otherwise utilize these major assets, along with existing ones, on Hyperliquid's spot order book.
Withdraw assets directly to their preferred address on the respective asset’s native blockchain.
Unlocking New Opportunities
Bringing major spot assets to Hyperliquid is a major milestone, with several exciting possibilities:
Unified trading experience: traders can access both spot and derivatives markets within a single, integrated platform, meeting all their trading needs directly on Hyperliquid.
Multiple new capital onramps: send spot from any supported native source chain and sell in the spot order book to access USDC.
Portfolio margin: cross margining for the major assets; enhancing capital efficiency and potential on exchange-wide volumes.
On-chain spot-futures basis trades.
Options: spot delta hedging + real-time settlement of options.
Efficient CLOB Settlement for asset liquidations within DeFi protocols on the Hyperliquid EVM.
On-chain, verifiable treasury management for protocols and DAOs.
Spot trading and settlement have long been some of the most requested features for Hyperliquid. With Unit, these capabilities are now a reality.
