In one minute
Rumour.app is a mobile platform from AltLayer that compresses the “scan, discuss, execute” loop into a single flow. Traders share early market chatter in focused chatrooms, stress test the idea together, then place perp trades right inside the app through a Hyperliquid connection. The public debut lined up with Korea Blockchain Week and TOKEN2049, wrapped in a forty-thousand dollar pre-launch rewards program.
The big idea
In fast markets, the edge often lives in the first few minutes after a credible whisper appears. Most traders still bounce across social feeds, group chats, research dashboards, and an exchange. By the time they line everything up, the entry is gone. Rumour.app tries to fix that by putting three steps in one place: capture a lead, build conviction quickly, act without context switching.
How it works, step by step
Discover
You join signal-first chatrooms organized by narrative, sector, or event. These rooms are built for actionable posts and quick reads, not endless small talk.
Validate
Members cross check hints, on-chain breadcrumbs, conference agendas, and team activity. The goal is to separate real catalysts from noise and agree on a directional bias in minutes, not hours.
Act
When you are ready, you can open or manage a perp position from inside Rumour. Orders route to Hyperliquid. You can fund once, apply leverage, and even mirror a room’s stated bias if you choose to automate.
What makes it different
It is not a prediction market with yes or no shares. You are trading real markets, simply informed by early narratives.
It is not another noisy chat. The product centers the conversation on signals and execution, so the path from idea to position is short.
It is mobile first, so you can respond in the moment instead of waiting to get back to a desk.

A day in the life, illustrated
Morning coffee, conference week. You open an “AI infrastructure catalysts” room and see a well-sourced post hinting at a partner reveal later that day. A few members drop supporting links and wallet notes. Conviction builds. You size a small long via the in-app trade flow and set invalidation and take-profit levels. If the reveal lands on stage, you scale. If the rumour stalls, you flatten. Either way, the loop stays tight.
Getting started in five moves
1. Create your account and follow a few rooms that match your focus.
2. Connect your Hyperliquid account and fund once so you can act immediately.
3. Enable notifications for the rooms that matter most.
4. Test automation on tiny size to learn fills and behavior.
5. Contribute high-quality posts. Good sourcing makes the whole system stronger.
Risk practices that actually help
Assume some rumours will be wrong. Start small, add only on confirmation.
Define invalidation before you click. Price and time both count.
Plan exits. If a crowd arrives and the move overextends, take what the market gives.
Understand venue and automation. Know how your orders route, how your keys are scoped, and where liquidation risk sits.
Frequently asked questions
Is Rumour live now
The roll-out began around the late-September conference window, with public campaigns tied to those events. Availability continues to expand as access opens wider.
Where do trades clear
Through Hyperliquid. Rumour is the workflow layer that lets you move from discussion to position without changing apps.
Is this just noise trading
The product is designed to filter noise and reward credible sourcing. The whole point is to move earlier on substantiated whispers, not to gamble on every spark.
The bottom line
Rumour.app aims to give active traders a time edge by unifying discovery, debate, and execution. If the signals are strong and the discipline is real, shaving minutes off the loop can be the difference between catching a narrative early and chasing it late. The tool provides the pipeline. The edge still comes from judgment, sizing, and risk design.
