Hyperliquid has integrated native prediction markets for real-world events, utilizing its validator set as an oracle to eliminate reliance on external systems.Summary
Hyperliquid has launched validator-governed prediction markets through its HIP-4 upgrade, enabling the protocol to settle outcome markets based on real-world events. By allowing validators to deploy and resolve these markets via automated newsfeed software, Hyperliquid removes the need for external oracles, distinguishing its approach from competitors like Polymarket and Kalshi. These fully collateralized, non-leveraged contracts aim to integrate event-based prediction directly into the platform's core infrastructure.
