Global, transparent, and permissionless by design, decentralized finance (DeFi) has changed the way we view modern finance. Today, anyone can access powerful trading tools, yield features, and even ownership of protocols themselves, without having to rely on banks or brokers as middlemen.
But most never make it that far. For everyday users, the experience remains intimidating: wallet setup is clunky, interfaces are confusing, and onboarding often involves navigating extensions, approvals, and unfamiliar interactions.
Liquid is changing that. Built on Hyperliquid, Liquid brings DeFi to a clean mobile-native interface, without compromising on self custody. From your phone, you can trade spot or perps with up to 40x leverage, earn yield on idle balances, and stay informed with curated financial news. Through it all, users remain in full control of their assets.
Fast, intuitive, and secure, Liquid makes modern finance accessible, and without friction. The app is now open to public access, and available directly from the App Store.
Liquid is the fastest, easiest way to access onchain financial markets. It offers deep liquidity, low fees, and full self-custody in a mobile app that prioritizes both performance and usability.
At its core is Hyperliquid, a performant L1 blockchain purpose-built for onchain finance. With a custom consensus protocol (HyperBFT), native trading infrastructure (HyperCore), and an Ethereum-compatible smart contract layer (HyperEVM), Hyperliquid enables one-block finality and over 200,000 orders per second.
This infrastructure supports everything from perpetuals and spot order books to programmable contracts, all running seamlessly onchain.
Liquid transforms that backend power into a polished mobile experience. Users can trade, earn, and stay informed with ease, while benefiting from the speed, transparency, and decentralization of the Hyperliquid stack.
To support growth and alignment with users, Liquid also integrates Hyperliquid’s builder code system, a fully onchain incentive model that lets apps earn fees on trades they facilitate. Users approve fees directly, giving builders like Liquid a sustainable, noncustodial way to monetize without needing to bootstrap their own liquidity.
For Liquid, it’s a durable model for scale. For users, it means a product that remains open, transparent, and aligned with their interests.
To deliver a truly mobile-first trading experience, Liquid needed infrastructure that could match the product’s speed, without compromising on custody or user control.
Privy powers Liquid’s wallet layer, enabling users to onboard in seconds with just an email. Behind the scenes, each user receives a self-custodial wallet that works seamlessly across devices, with the low latency required for high-volume, high-leverage trading.
This ensures users stay in full control of their assets, while Liquid handles trades, deposits, and rewards with the speed and reliability expected from a modern trading app.
By abstracting away wallet complexity, Privy lets Liquid focus on product, while giving users a secure, intuitive path into the world of onchain finance.
Liquid is just getting started. While trading is the foundation, the team’s long-term vision is far more ambitious: a financial superapp powered by both crypto and AI. With deep expertise in both domains, the Liquid team is uniquely positioned to deliver smarter, more personalized financial experiences.
The incorporation of AI means that Liquid can surface relevant news, explain strategies, and interact with users across modalities, including voice. As regulation evolves, this will likely unlock a broader set of onchain trading products, all delivered through the same seamless, self-custodial interface.
At Privy, we’re proud to support Liquid’s mission, and to power the next generation of builders building on Hyperliquid. If you’re looking for wallet infrastructure that can power your Hyperliquid product, read our docs and start building.
