I've seen a few people ask "what is Hyperliquid and why is it interesting" so here is my take. Hyperliquid is a fast L1 chain with trading and financial primitives built into the core protocol. Stuff like an order book + matching engine, margin, oracles, vaults. @toly's "six contracts that matter" are mostly built in. HyperEVM is an Ethereum compatible layer on top that can read from and interact with the special purpose financial chain. So you get fast cheap trading like Solana and general purpose programmability like Ethereum.
