Polymarket Perps versus Hyperliquid: contracts, leverage, fees, funding and availability compared for traders choosing a venue.
Hyperliquid is a dedicated perps exchange with far deeper perps volume today. Polymarket Perps is the challenger built into the world's largest prediction market: fewer contracts (89 at last check), but one account and one balance across perps, elections, sports and every other Polymarket market.
Choose Polymarket if you already trade events there and want directional exposure without moving funds. Choose Hyperliquid if perps are all you do and depth is the priority. Many traders keep both — the honest answer is that Polymarket's edge is the combined account, not perps depth. Yet.
One balance for prediction markets and perps. Check the live contract, start at low leverage, and size small while you learn.
