Hyperliquid, a decentralized trading platform active in DeFi, has launched its permissionless spot quote asset feature on the mainnet.
With this feature, any asset can now be used as a quote asset, letting users and projects set up new trading pairs through Dutch auctions. The update introduces additional flexibility to trading and enhances the platform’s decentralization.
USDH Becomes the First Permissionless Quote Asset
The stablecoin USDH is the first asset to gain permissionless quote status. Native Markets deployed USDH, and the HYPE/USDH trading pair is now live. Hyperliquid has confirmed that more trading pairs will follow in the future, giving users and projects the opportunity to experiment with different base and quote asset combinations.
How Permissionless Spot Quote Assets Work
Under this new feature, deployers of stable assets can enable their tokens to act as quote assets, provided they meet the on-chain requirements detailed in Hyperliquid’s documentation. Once an asset has quote status, it can be used in the first spot pair of any HIP-1 deployment.
New trading pairs using existing base and quote assets can also be set up through permissionless Dutch auctions. These auctions run separately from HIP-1 token auctions, allowing new trading pairs to be added without affecting current token distributions. This makes setting up multiple pairs simpler and more organized.
Greater Flexibility for Traders and Projects
The permissionless system gives users more freedom to move beyond preset quote assets and create new trading opportunities. By allowing any eligible asset to serve as a quote, Hyperliquid gives users more control over pair creation and trading experimentation. The Dutch auction mechanism ensures that new pairs are deployed transparently and fairly.
With USDH now live as the first permissionless quote asset, the HYPE/USDH pair has already started trading. Hyperliquid expects more permissionless pair deployments in the coming months. This move shows Hyperliquid’s focus on decentralization and innovation, while giving traders more flexibility in the fast-changing crypto market.
