FAQ

Launch by Kinetiq is the first Exchange-as-a-Service (EaaS) platform built on Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 protocol, enabling anyone to deploy and operate their own perpetual futures exchange—without the $20M+ capital barrier that previously kept HIP-3 deployments out of reach.

By combining Kinetiq’s proven LST infrastructure with a crowdfunding model, Launch makes it possible for teams to raise the 500,000+ HYPE stake required to deploy “builder-deployed markets” on Hyperliquid. Each deployment runs on isolated staking pools, ensuring risk is limited to the exchange you choose to support.

HIP-3 introduces builder-deployed perps—a protocol upgrade that lets external teams launch and operate their own perp markets on top of HyperCore infrastructure.

Under HIP-3:

  • Stake Requirement: 500k+ HYPE staked per deployer
  • Fee Share: Deployers can earn up to 50% of trading fees
  • Risk Controls: Stakes can be slashed for malicious activity (e.g., bad oracles)

This opens the door for more diverse and specialized markets, but the capital requirement is a major hurdle—exactly what Launch solves.

  1. Crowdfund the stake: Contributors pool HYPE into an exchange-specific staking contract.
  2. Deploy your exchange: Kinetiq infrastructure handles validator setup, smart contracts, and integration.
  3. Operate your markets: Deployers focus on market curation, trading experience, and community.
  4. Earn & distribute fees: Trading fees are automatically shared with contributors.

Each Launch deployment issues its own exchange-specific LST (exHYPE).

  • Separate pools for each exchange deployment
  • Slashing events only affect that specific pool
  • Contributors receive returns based solely on the exchange they backed

Example: Stake in exchange A, get exA-HYPE—completely isolated from exchange B.
