Odaily Planet Daily reports that Hyperliquid announced on X that it will introduce “Result Contracts” trading in HIP-4. Result contracts are fully collateralized contracts that settle within a pre-defined range. They are a versatile fundamental primitive suitable for prediction markets, range-limited option-like tools, and other application scenarios. These two types of applications already have significant user demand, and developers are likely to conceive more innovative use cases based on this primitive.

Result contracts introduce a nonlinear payoff structure, expiration contracts, and an alternative derivatives trading form that does not involve leverage or liquidation mechanisms. This primitive expands HyperCore’s expressive capabilities and can be combined with other primitives such as the pooled margin mechanism and HyperEVM.

Result contracts are still in the development stage and are currently only being tested on the testnet. Once the technical development is complete, standardized (Canonical) markets based on objective settlement sources will be deployed, with pricing denominated in USDH. After collecting user feedback, the related infrastructure will be further expanded to permissionless deployment modes.
