In 48 hours in Seoul, the Hyperliquid 2025 hackathon showcased 13 projects that push the platform beyond simple trading. Focus on AI, security, copy trading, and cross-chain arbitrage. A prize pool exceeding $50,000 accelerated prototypes and initial MVPs. The event, held on September 21–22, 2025, in parallel with the Korea Blockchain Week (KBW), marked a turning point in the transition from a derivatives exchange to an application ecosystem, as confirmed by the official hackathon page HLH.
