Last updated 3 months ago

Unit operates as a neutral infrastructure component within the Hyperliquid ecosystem, allowing users to deposit and withdraw major crypto assets directly to and from their spot balance on Hyperliquid's native exchange.

Core Protocol

At the center of the Unit protocol is a distributed leader-verifier network of operators, called "Guardians". Each Guardian is independently running the "agent", an implementation of the Unit protocol developed by the Unit core team.

Guardians also operate and use nodes and indexers for the native blockchains of all Unit-supported assets, enabling independent verification of blockchain data.

The Guardians all participate in consensus and Multi-Party Computation (MPC) Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS) to perform protocol operations.


App / UI


Compliance Layer

The Unit core contributors developed an interface for users to interact with the protocol, which can be found at . This is a centralized interface maintained by the core team, and is optional in using the protocol.

Users may also access the protocol on , or by making requests to the Guardian Network directly, as described in our developer documentation.

The protocol includes OFAC-compliant transaction screening and monitoring, as well as IP-based geoblocking and VPN detection. For more details, see the .
