​About Event

​Happening during Korea Blockchain Week (September 21–22), HLH is a two-day in-person hackathon hosted by HypeRPC, in collaboration with B-harvest.

​This hackathon aim to bring developers, builders, and ecosystem partners to explore what’s only possible on Hyperliquid.

​From onchain perp innovation to builder-first infra, this event is your chance to create, connect, and push the boundaries of what Hyperliquid can be. We’ll also host keynotes, workshops, panels, and a demo day, giving every team a shot at spotlight and support.

​Whether you're a first-time hacker or a protocol contributor, HLH is open to all who want to build.

Why attend?

Programmable Trading — HyperEVM & CoreWriter

Build smart contracts that trade like pros.

Use Hyperliquid’s CoreWriter and precompiles to create DeFi apps that directly read HyperCore’s orderbook and place trades in real time.

  • What to Build:

    • Autonomous trading strategies (e.g. vaults, bots)

    • Smart contract-based risk hedging tools

    • DApps that combine Hyperliquid with other protocols

    • Toolkits or no-code interfaces for programmable trading

  • Why it’s Unique:

    • Only on Hyperliquid can smart contracts tap directly into a live, high-performance orderbook.

    • Enable fully on-chain trading logic — no wrappers, no compromise.

HIP-3 — Builder-Deployed Perpetual Markets

Permissionless perps are here.

Leverage HIP-3 to launch new perpetual markets, create deployment tools, or experiment with alternative derivative structures.

  • What to Build:

    • Perps for real-world assets (commodities, indices)

    • DAO-governed perp markets

    • Tools for market deployment (UI, CLI)

    • Bots and MM strategies for low-liquidity perps

  • Why it’s Unique:

    • HIP-3 turns Hyperliquid into a true financial primitive layer.

    • Anyone can launch a market, earn fees, and define custom logic.

Builder Codes & Monetizable Integrations

Turn your dApp into a revenue engine.

Use Builder Codes to embed monetization into trading UIs, bots, and integrations — and earn fees every time someone trades.

  • What to Build:

    • Aggregators and bots that route trades to Hyperliquid

    • Copy trading and social trading platforms

    • Wallet or frontend integrations

    • SDKs and arbitrage toolkits

  • Why it’s Unique:

    • Builder Codes are on-chain incentives baked into the protocol.

    • Every trade routed through your app earns you fees — like affiliate links for DeFi.

Developer Tools & Public Goods

Not every hero ships a trading app.

This track is for those who want to improve the ecosystem: build tools, SDKs, dashboards, security monitors, and educational content.

  • What to Build:

    • Analytics dashboards or explorers

    • SDKs and CLI tools for developers

    • Faucets, monitoring scripts, validator tools

    • Onboarding and educational resources

  • Why it’s Important:

    • Hyperliquid is a novel chain — builders need better tools and docs.

    • The ecosystem grows stronger with every public good.
