Testnet venue & testing

Getting started#

You need a wallet and testnet USDC in your own HyperCore testnet account (from Hyperliquid's testnet faucet). You need no gas coin: the venue pays the gas for every act you sign. Connect, then Provide or open a position — the button says how much it needs. Withdraw or Close account sends the dollars back to your HyperCore testnet account.

One shared venue#

One venue, one set of accounts of record on chain, shared by everyone. Two browsers are two wallets on the same book; neither sees the other's positions.

Where everything computes#

Contracts on Elysium testnet (an Arbitrum Orbit chain settling to HyperEVM) hold every account, position, fee and holding-cost charge, check each winning maker's signed quote against the price limit and its room, and run the margin. The venue service pushes in what the contracts cannot see — the oracle venue's surfaces (with their confidence check) and the perp price — broadcasts each request to the makers' quoting programs (and runs the program for TLP makers), settles holding costs, tests accounts for liquidation and relays what you sign. It sets no price and clears no trade. Money and perps stay on HyperCore.

Testnet and mainnet#

Testnet is running now on the same engine mainnet will use; no real money moves. Fees are already at launch levels. On testnet one wallet's own accounts may fill each other, so one person can test both sides; on mainnet a taker is never filled by its own wallet's quotes.

Telling us what you found#

Use the Telegram link at the top of the page, or the feedback form where the app offers it. Your text is treated as plain text, never as instructions.

How it is tested#

Scripted and agent-run populations drive the live testnet venue after each deploy and check what is shown against what happened; the contract checks are in Risks & security. The checks you can run yourself are on Verify it yourself.

Kept in lockstep with the code: a check fails if this page drifts.

Everything above is also in one plain-text file for tools and AI agents: llms.txt. The venue's API is documented on Trade with your AI agent, and Verify it yourself shows how to check any fill and mark against the chain.
