Hyperliquid Proposes Permissionless Prediction Markets with 500,000 HYPE Stake Requirement

Hyperliquid recently proposed a protocol upgrade to enable permissionless deployment of prediction markets using validator-approved templates. The decentralized approach would reduce the need for validators to individually approve each market listing, instead allowing standardized templates to govern how markets operate on-chain.

Market creators would be required to lock up 500,000 HYPE tokens, which validators can partially or fully slash for poor market definition, incorrect settlement, or unresolved markets exceeding one week. Creators can charge fees up to 50%, and the upgrade is planned to launch on testnet before mainnet deployment.
