Hyperunit
Bridging native Bitcoin and other assets directly into Hyperliquid — no wrapping, no custodians, no unnecessary intermediaries.
Mission
The team behind Hyperunit set out to answer a simple question: why is getting Bitcoin onto a high-performance DEX still so painful? Most approaches require you to hand your coins to a custodian, wait for multiple confirmations, and then receive a synthetic token that isn't quite the real thing.
Hyperunit's mission is to change that. The protocol makes native-asset deposits fast, transparent, and verifiable. You retain visibility over every step. No black boxes, no trusted middlemen sitting between your wallet and your position on Hyperliquid.
Technology
Hyperunit watches native Bitcoin UTXOs and Ethereum transactions on-chain. When your deposit confirms, a corresponding credit appears on Hyperliquid — without any synthetic wrapper token in between.
Every deposit proof is recorded and verifiable. The Hyperunit platform does not rely on off-chain oracles to confirm inbound transactions. The verification path goes through the source chain's finality directly.
Once a deposit is confirmed, the Hyperunit protocol settles it directly into your Hyperliquid account. You can start trading BTC perpetuals or other instruments within minutes — no manual bridging steps required.
The Ethereum-side contracts are written in Solidity and tested with Foundry. Foundry's fast compilation and fuzz-testing suite gives the team confidence that edge cases don't slip into production. Audits cover the full deposit-to-settlement path.
Approach
The protocol supports Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) at launch, with planned support for additional assets on chains where finality can be verified cheaply and quickly. The minimum BTC deposit sits at 0.0003 BTC — small enough for most retail users, large enough to cover on-chain fees without burning your position.
Honestly, most bridge protocols bury the mechanics. Hyperunit tries to do the opposite: the status of your deposit is visible at every stage, from UTXO broadcast to Hyperliquid settlement. If something takes longer than expected, you see exactly where the delay is — not a generic "processing" spinner.
Estimated bridge time for Bitcoin deposits is roughly 31 minutes, reflecting Bitcoin's block time and the confirmation threshold Hyperunit requires for security. ETH deposits settle faster, typically under 10 minutes.
Security
Security is where Hyperunit's protocol refuses to cut corners. The smart contracts that handle deposit verification on the Ethereum side went through an external audit before mainnet launch. The audit scope covered reentrancy, integer overflow paths, and cross-chain message replay scenarios.
Foundry's fuzz testing runs continuously in the CI pipeline. Any change to the deposit logic triggers a full test suite of over 400 property-based tests before it can merge. This isn't security theater — it's the minimum bar the team set for anything handling user funds.
Team
The Hyperunit team combines backgrounds in protocol engineering, Ethereum contract development, and trading infrastructure. Several team members previously worked on cross-chain tooling and DEX integrations before founding the project.
The team maintains public documentation at docs.hyperunit.xyz and is reachable through the official Discord for integration questions or security disclosures. For a deeper look at the protocol, visit the Knowledge section or head back to the main app.
Roadmap
Native deposits from Bitcoin and Ethereum into Hyperliquid are fully operational today.
Additional assets on chains where finality verification is cost-effective. Solana and TRON are under evaluation.
Bringing assets back out of Hyperliquid to native chains — closing the full deposit-withdraw loop within the Hyperunit platform.
