Direct #perpetuals Trading Coming to MetaMask with #Hyperliquid – DeFi's New Level!
Hey friends, super exciting update for MetaMask! Developers spotted a new "Perps" tab in the #Github code, which will let you trade perpetual futures contracts right inside the wallet – no need to go out. This is a partnership with Hyperliquid, which is a decentralized derivatives platform on its own Layer 1 blockchain. Fast, gas-free settlements and high-performance trading – CEX-level experience in #DEFİ !
Key features: Built-in USDC deposit system is being tested, minimum 5 USDC on mainnet, with real-time gas fees, slippage tracking, and transaction confirmations. Users can fund directly without transferring assets. Hyperliquid is dominating the perpetuals market right now, with $8-10B daily volume, and this integration could double it if MetaMask's 30M+ monthly users adopt.
Why does this matter? MetaMask is making advanced leveraged trading accessible while maintaining self-custody, which was only on CEX before. Less friction for DeFi users, but analysts say strong risk controls are needed for leverage and permissions in a decentralized setup. Plus, this is turning MetaMask into a full financial hub – from swaps to perps!
Launch seems close, maybe announced at Token2049 conference. ConsenSys CEO Joe Lubin also hinted at the MASK token, which could come soon.
