What is Unit?

HyperUnit ("Unit") is a decentralized asset tokenization protocol integrated into the Hyperliquid ecosystem, enabling secure, self‑custodial cross‑chain asset deposits and withdrawals without relying on centralized bridges .

It include features as:

• Guardian Network & MPC TSS – A decentralized set of independent nodes called Guardians uses threshold signatures to non‑custodially mint or release assets on Hyperliquid after cross‑chain verification.

• Spot Integration – Supports native BTC, ETH, and SOL across Hyperliquid spot and backbone layers (HyperCore & HyperEVM) for seamless trading .

• Non‑custodial & traceable – All transactions are transparent, replayable on-chain, and no single entity ever holds full custody .

• Compliance built-in – Features OFAC screening, IP/VPN blocking, legal auditability, and cooperates with law enforcement as a protocol .

• Developer APIs – Provides REST APIs for generating deposit addresses, estimating fees, tracking deposit/withdrawal workflows, and integrating into apps .

• Secure by design – Guardians verify runtime integrity, enforce rate limits, and use circuit breakers to halt operations if anomalies arise.

• Modular architecture – Users can use official apps (app.hyperunit.xyz, app.hyperliquid.xyz) or interact directly via decentralized APIs.

• Proven scale – Since launching in February 2025, Unit has processed over $2.9 billion in BTC/ETH spot trade volume with 1,180+ BTC and 9,600+ ETH.
