For two days, teams arrived from around the world in Seoul, Korea, formed small teams or went solo, and shipped working products on Hyperliquid. The floor energy came from teams that chose practical agents, clear interfaces, HIP-3-based margin design, and infrastructure that holds up during spikes. This article opens with the ten winners, then moves through the patterns we observed, and closes by letting builders speak in their own words. Let's celebrate the builders who are shaping where Hyperliquid is flowing toward next.
We opened registration at 9:30 AM for the Hyperliquid Hackathon, and builders began assembling before the official start at 12:00 noon. Check-in moved fast as teams grabbed their exclusive HLH gear and Hylo goodies, found their work spots, and set up their laptops.
B Harvest, our local co-hosts in Korea, guided arrivals and mentors made early rounds while repos were cloned and the first commits landed.
Top 10 Winners of HLH
Hyperliquid is set up for builders who ship real products, and the Top 10 shows how fast useful ideas become tools that traders can adopt.Below are summaries for each HLH winner, their successful projects, and why it matters for Hyperliquid.
1st Place is Hyperliquid Copilot
First place is Hyperliquid CoPilot! An AI agent that turns strategy intent into execution with fewer steps and steady guardrails. It shortens the path from idea to live action so teams can iterate quickly after HLH.
2nd Place is EdgeScan
EdgeScan is a visual portfolio mapper that unifies positions and assets into a clear view. It reduces context switching and makes exposure and risk easier to read.
3rd Place is HOODL BOT
They created a Telegram interface that integrates Spot, Perp, and EVM trading into one flow. It meets active traders where they already operate and converts their attention into action.
4th Place is Hyper Homo
Hyper Homo, well known for its quirky and unique name, is a project in which vaults enable private strategy monetization with aligned incentives. It protects the core method while creating a clean path to share and earn.
5th Place is STIBS
STIBS is a social trading and discovery that surfaces credible signals without noise. It helps traders find reliable tools and peers faster.
6th Place is HyperFlash
In sixth place is HyperFlash, a cross-chain high-frequency trading infrastructure focused on throughput and latency. It keeps performance steady when markets move quickly.
7th Place is Tetrics
Sakuro created Tetrics! A unified margin on HIP-3 that turns yield across chains into a single framework and powers builder code exchange markets.
8th Place is BasiX
HIP-3 funding rates presented as tradable markets that invite new strategy design. It treats funding as a first class signal that other tools can compose around.
9th Place is Hypersona
Hypersona is in ninth place, with gamified trader personas that make habits and feedback visible. It encourages better choices by making reflection part of the daily loop.
10th Place is AlgoGene
AlgoGene is a professional-grade algorithmic tool with plug-and-play bots. It emphasizes clean setup and steady operation so builders can confidently test, run, and iterate.
From Demo to Roadmap
Teams that shared their next steps showed the same rhythm: ship a working slice, put it in front of users, learn fast, and adjust. One builder, Kevin, wrote about a hard trading day on the same day as a first-place win. That experience now shapes a plan to protect gains with better risk control, clearer margin awareness, and timely alerts.
Another builder, Katalyster, described flying to Seoul to build with peers and open-sourcing an HL Core to an EVM arbitrage bot that won a RedStone bounty. Both posts focus on practical progress and why HIP-3 matters for what comes next.
Patterns on The Floor
Conversations stayed grounded in daily use. Builders treated agents as tools, not toys. HIP-3 became the common language for margin and funding, so projects like Tetrics and BasiX feel aligned. Interfaces respected where decisions already happen. Telegram flows, simple prompts, and clean dashboards replaced jumping between too many apps.
On the infra side, teams worked on the quiet details that make everything possible: lower latency under stress, reliable throughput during spikes, and telemetry that tells operators what is happening right now. Discovery also improved. STIBS is a good example of lifting useful signal without drowning people in noise.
Wrapping up HLH: The First In Person Hyperliquid Hackathon
HLH 2025 showed what happens when a community keeps things simple and ships. In two days, the Top ten winners delivered agents, unified margin on HIP-3, risk tools, social discovery, and solid infrastructure. The takeaway is clear: Hyperliquid grows stronger when builders lead, when products solve concrete problems, and when teams share what they learned. We can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring and what future hackathons and conferences will be held worldwide!
