Canonical Perps

Canonical perps are HyENA's standard perpetual markets for established assets that have deep liquidity on major centralized exchanges. Examples include BTC-USD, ETH-USD, SOL-USD, and similar blue-chip assets.

Oracle Price

HyENA re-uses the published oracle prices from Hyperliquid. The oracle price for a canonical HyENA perp (e.g., BTC-USD) matches the oracle price of the corresponding perp on Hyperliquid.

On Hyperliquid, oracle prices are a weighted median of CEX prices, updated by validators approximately once every three seconds.

Mark Price

Canonical perps use the shared 4-component mark price formula.

Component
Input Source

1 — Oracle + 150s EMA of basis

Oracle = Hyperliquid canonical oracle; Mid = HyENA DEX mid-price

2 — DEX book median

median(best_bid, best_ask, last_trade) on HyENA

3 — External perp median

Weighted median of Binance, OKX, Bybit, Gate.io, MEXC perp mid-prices (weights 3, 2, 2, 1, 1)

4 — 30s EMA of Component 2

Included only when fewer than 3 main components are present

The final mark price is the median of all available components.

Funding Rate

Standard Hyperliquid funding rate calculation. No dampening is applied.

Special Conditions

None. Canonical perps follow the same behavior as their Hyperliquid counterparts with HyENA's own DEX book data substituted into the mark price formula.
