HyperCore Proposal HIP-4: Building Native "Outcome Transaction" Infrastructure for On-chain Prediction Markets

BlockBeats News, February 2nd, Hyperliquid officials announced on social media that HyperCore will support Outcome Transactions (HIP-4).

It is reported that an outcome is a fully collateralized contract with a settlement price constrained within a fixed range. This is a generic basic transaction element applicable to prediction markets and bounded option-like instruments. There is already substantial user demand in these two areas, and developers are likely to create innovative applications as well.

Outcome Transactions introduce a non-linear payoff structure, forward contracts, and a form of derivative trading that does not involve leverage or forced liquidation. This foundational element expands HyperCore's expressive power and can be combined with other basic elements (such as Portfolio Margin and HyperEVM).

The Outcome Transactions feature is still under development and is currently being tested on the testnet. A standard market based on an objective settlement source will be deployed after the technical development is completed, with pricing in USDH. Following the collection of user feedback, this infrastructure will be expanded to a permissionless open deployment mode.
