About Event
Happening during Korea Blockchain Week (September 21–22), HLH is a two-day in-person hackathon hosted by HypeRPC, in collaboration with B-harvest.
This hackathon aim to bring developers, builders, and ecosystem partners to explore what’s only possible on Hyperliquid.
From onchain perp innovation to builder-first infra, this event is your chance to create, connect, and push the boundaries of what Hyperliquid can be. We’ll also host keynotes, workshops, panels, and a demo day, giving every team a shot at spotlight and support.
Whether you're a first-time hacker or a protocol contributor, HLH is open to all who want to build.

Tracks & Themes
Programmable Trading — HyperEVM & CoreWriter
Build smart contracts that trade like pros.
Use Hyperliquid’s CoreWriter and precompiles to create DeFi apps that directly read HyperCore’s orderbook and place trades in real time.
What to Build:
Autonomous trading strategies (e.g. vaults, bots)
Smart contract-based risk hedging tools
DApps that combine Hyperliquid with other protocols
Toolkits or no-code interfaces for programmable trading
Why it’s Unique:
Only on Hyperliquid can smart contracts tap directly into a live, high-performance orderbook.
Enable fully on-chain trading logic — no wrappers, no compromise.

HIP-3 — Builder-Deployed Perpetual Markets
Permissionless perps are here.
Leverage HIP-3 to launch new perpetual markets, create deployment tools, or experiment with alternative derivative structures.
What to Build:
Perps for real-world assets (commodities, indices)
DAO-governed perp markets
Tools for market deployment (UI, CLI)
Bots and MM strategies for low-liquidity perps
Why it’s Unique:
HIP-3 turns Hyperliquid into a true financial primitive layer.
Anyone can launch a market, earn fees, and define custom logic.

Builder Codes & Monetizable Integrations
Turn your dApp into a revenue engine.
Use Builder Codes to embed monetization into trading UIs, bots, and integrations — and earn fees every time someone trades.
What to Build:
Aggregators and bots that route trades to Hyperliquid
Copy trading and social trading platforms
Wallet or frontend integrations
SDKs and arbitrage toolkits
Why it’s Unique:
Builder Codes are on-chain incentives baked into the protocol.
Every trade routed through your app earns you fees — like affiliate links for DeFi.
