PANews reported on February 2nd that Hyperliquid announced on its X platform that HyperCore will support "Outcome Trading" (HIP-4). Outcomes are fully collateralized contracts that settle within a fixed range. It's a general-purpose foundational component suitable for applications such as prediction markets and option-like finite instruments. Outcome trading introduces non-linear characteristics, periodic contracts, and a new form of derivatives trading without leverage or liquidation. This foundational component expands HyperCore's expressive power and can work in conjunction with other components such as portfolio margin and HyperEVM. Outcome contracts are currently under development and are only being tested on the testnet. A standardized market based on objective settlement sources will be deployed after the technology development is complete. The standardized market will be denominated in USDH. Based on user feedback, the infrastructure will be gradually rolled out to a permissionless deployment mode.
