Buying shares

How to buy Yes or No on a Hyperliquid prediction market with Hypertake, on desktop and phone, with every edge case

To buy, choose Yes or No, enter how many dollars to spend, and press Buy. Hypertake prices your order from the live order book at the moment you press and sends it to Hyperliquid as an order that fills immediately or is cancelled: you get shares at the prices on offer, or nothing, and no order is left waiting.

Before you start

  • A connected wallet. See Connect a wallet.
  • One-tap trading on. On mainnet that's two wallet signatures once per browser: approving Hypertake's fee (a 1% maximum; buys carry none), then a trading key that can trade but can't withdraw. See Turn on trading.
  • USDC available on Hyperliquid. The same balance as perps. See Deposits.
  • Mainnet. Outcomes trade only on Hyperliquid mainnet. The phone refuses outcome orders while the perps testnet switch is on; the desktop sends them to mainnet regardless.

The order is signed by your trading key in your browser and goes straight to Hyperliquid's API. Signed orders expire 60 seconds after signing.

Whole shares
Hyperliquid's outcome shares have no decimals. Your amount buys as many whole shares as it can; anything left stays in your balance.
Worst price
The highest offer your amount reaches. The order's limit is 2% above it (never above 99.9¢), so a small move between your press and the match doesn't fail the order.
Cost can differ slightly
The share count is fixed when you press. If cheaper offers vanish in that moment, the same shares can cost up to about 2% more than the figure shown; anything beyond the limit is cancelled.
No resting buy
Hypertake has no limit buy for outcomes. If the shares aren't on offer within the limit, they aren't bought.

Partial fills

If some of the offers your order expected are taken first, Hyperliquid fills what's left within your limit and cancels the rest. You keep the shares that filled and the unspent money stays in your balance. Desktop says "Bought 18 Yes of 25 … The rest wasn't on offer and was cancelled."; the phone shows Partly filled and how many "weren't on offer and were cancelled".

Fees on a buy

Hypertake charges nothing to buy an outcome, and Hyperliquid charges outcome fees only when a position is closed or settled, not when it's opened (Hyperliquid fees). The cost on the button is what leaves your balance. See Fees.

ExampleMaya buys $50 of No on a thin book

  • No is offered: 40 shares at 55¢, then 60 at 58¢.
  • Maya enters $50. The walk takes all 40 at 55¢ ($22.00), then 48 at 58¢ ($27.84): 88 shares for $49.84, 16¢ left unspent.
  • Her worst price is 58¢, so the order's limit is 59.2¢. The phone warns "Size moves the price to 58¢" because that's more than 1¢ above the best offer.
  • It fills in full: 88 No at about 56.6¢ average. If No wins, she gets $88.

Flow$50 typed → 88 whole shares walked (40 @ 55¢ + 48 @ 58¢) → one IOC at ≤ 59.2¢ → filled → pays $88 if No wins

Is $10 the minimum?

No. $10 is only where the ticket starts. The minimum is $1, which is Hyperliquid's rule for outcome orders.

Can I place a limit buy and wait for a lower price?

Not on Hypertake. Outcome buys fill now or are cancelled. Limit buys you place with another interface do show under Open orders, and you can cancel them there.

Can I buy both Yes and No?

Yes, they're separate holdings. Together a Yes and a No share always settle to $1, so holding both mostly costs you the spread.

Why did I get fewer shares than the ticket showed?

Someone took part of the offers between your press and the match. The rest of your order was cancelled, and the unspent money is still in your balance.
