Hyperliquid announces that the HIP-3 cross-margin feature is now live on the testnet

BlockBeats News, February 13, according to official sources, Hyperliquid announced that the cross-margin feature for HIP-3 permissionless perpetual contract markets is now live on the testnet, but has not yet been launched on the mainnet. However, this feature qualifies for the mainnet-level bug bounty program. The deployer of HIP-3 must first enable cross-margin for a specific asset before users can use that asset for cross-margin trading.

Under a unified account, all cross-margin perpetual contracts using the same collateral asset can share margin, even across multiple DEXs. However, assets on different DEXs will be protected up to their maintenance margin level to avoid forced liquidation caused by significant price fluctuations on other DEXs. This new "protective cross-margin" system ensures the solvency of the system while not affecting the user experience.

Cross-margin is not designed for DEX abstract interfaces, and related interfaces should not allow cross-margin trading through DEX abstraction. Users should use unified accounts or portfolio margin to achieve the expected cross-margin behavior for HIP-3 assets.
