Metamask Leak Reveals Game-Changing In-Wallet Perpetuals Integration via Hyperliquid

Metamask drops the ultimate alpha—leaked code confirms direct perpetual trading integration is coming.

No more hopping between exchanges and wallets. Hyperliquid's infrastructure gets baked right into the world's most popular Web3 wallet.

Traders win big: zero intermediary friction, instant execution, and full self-custody throughout. Meanwhile, CEX execs are probably updating their resumes—again.

Because why trust centralized exchanges with your funds when your wallet can handle everything? The future of DeFi trading just got a whole lot more interesting.

Potential rollout

The code includes details such as minimum deposit thresholds, gas fee previews, slippage checks, and confirmation messages.

Testing notes describe the ability to start deposits inside MetaMask and receive real-time status updates until settlement. While no formal launch has been announced, developer comments indicate the feature could go live within weeks.

Many in the community expect MetaMask may unveil the integration at Token2049 in Singapore, where Hyperliquid is scheduled to host an event.

Expanding market share

Hyperliquid has quickly become a heavyweight in derivatives since its launch last year.

According to DefiLlama data, the platform recorded $383 billion in monthly trading volume and $106 million in revenue in August, a 23% increase from the prior month. Its annualized revenue now exceeds $1.16 billion, with total perpetuals trading surpassing $2.5 trillion.

Built on its own LAYER 1 blockchain, Hyperliquid’s infrastructure claims capacity for more than 200,000 orders per second. The system features gas-free transactions and fully on-chain settlement, designed to offer centralized exchange-level performance while retaining transparency.

The decentralized perpetuals exchange has also cultivated institutional ties, including custody services with Anchorage Digital and a partnership with Circle to deploy the USDC stablecoin natively on the network.

Hyperliquid has used lower fees and automation to rapidly expand its market presence. As of September, it controls an estimated 70% share of decentralized perpetuals.
