what's hyperunit?

HyperUnit, often referred to as Unit, is an asset tokenization protocol serving as the cross-chain infrastructure layer for the Hyperliquid blockchain, enabling seamless bridging and native handling of major cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, and SOL. Its core value proposition lies in unlocking liquidity for Hyperliquid's high-performance decentralized exchange by allowing direct deposits, withdrawals, and spot trading of these assets without intermediaries, thereby unifying spot and perpetuals markets in a single on-chain environment. Key technical innovations include a guardian-based rollout for secure asset integration, first-principles architecture optimized exclusively for Hyperliquid's order book, and support for additional tokens like PUMP, XPL, and 2Z through phased launches. It targets DeFi traders seeking low-latency, capital-efficient trading, positioning HyperUnit as the hidden engine powering native spot liquidity in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. As a foundational component, it collaborates closely with Hyperliquid's core protocol and wallets like Phantom for one-click funding, while handling peak volumes up to $750M daily with minimal downtime.
