The honest take

Hyperliquid
✓Deepest liquidity and tightest spreads of any perp DEX, by a wide margin
✓Order-book matching feels just like a centralized exchange; spot, lending and outcome markets now share the same account
✓Fee revenue is used to buy back the HYPE token; base fees drop with volume and staking
✕Runs on its own L1 — assets must be bridged in (USDC via Arbitrum)
✕Only the bridge has a published audit; the core matching engine does not. Built for active traders, not beginners
RISEx
