How it works

Nasdaq-100 Perpetual methodology

What it references (the builder’s own market note): XYZ100 tracks a modified market-capitalization-weighted index of 100 of the largest, most actively-traded, non-financial companies that are listed on a U.S. stock exchange, serving as a benchmark for large-cap U.S. technology and growth equities.

The XYZ100 perpetual tracks the Nasdaq-100 index — 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq exchange, dominated by mega-cap tech. It is a HIP-3 builder-deployed market on Hyperliquid, open 24/7 with funding pulling the contract toward the oracle. XYZ100 is the natural counterpart to SP500 for traders running paired trades or hedges between broad indices, and to single-stock perps (NVDA, MSFT, AAPL) for testing index-vs-stock exposure. The product references the Nasdaq-100 methodology synthetically rather than as a licensed index contract.

FAQ

Nasdaq-100 questions

How is XYZ100 different from QQQ?

QQQ is an ETF (Invesco) that tracks the Nasdaq-100 and trades on Nasdaq during US market hours. XYZ100 is a perpetual contract on Hyperliquid that tracks the same index but trades 24/7 with funding and leverage. Different product class, same exposure.

Why is the ticker XYZ100 and not NDX or QQQ?

XYZ100 is the builder’s own branding — the product references the Nasdaq-100 methodology synthetically rather than under an explicit licensing agreement. The branding sidesteps trademark questions while making the asset clear to traders.

What leverage is available?

Nasdaq-100 on the xyz dex offers up to 30x leverage, read from the venue’s market metadata. The market can be held cross or isolated. Margin requirements scale with position size; the live cap and margin tiers are on the Hyperliquid market page.

How is funding calculated for Nasdaq-100 on Hyperliquid?

Funding is computed from the gap between the perpetual price and an oracle reference: when the perp trades above the oracle, longs pay shorts; below, shorts pay longs. Core Hyperliquid perps settle funding hourly; a HIP-3 builder sets the schedule for its own markets, so confirm the cadence on the market page. The per-period rate is small but compounds over multi-day holds.

When can I trade — 24/7 or market hours only?

Hyperliquid perpetuals trade 24/7. Off-hours (overnight, weekends, holidays), the perp may diverge from the underlying spot price since traditional markets are closed and price discovery happens here. Funding pulls the perp back toward the oracle over time.

Is this self-custodial?

Yes. You connect a wallet (e.g. via Hyperliquid’s native UI or a builder app); keys never leave your control. Hyperliquid is a non-custodial exchange.
