Vault And HLP Methodology

How HypeBasis turns public vault fields into risk context without ranking vaults or recommending deposits.

Direct answer

Vault pages are transparency surfaces. They use public Hyperliquid fields to frame trailing PnL, drawdown, liquidity, manager economics, lockup and exit context, and HLP context. They are not a recommendation to deposit, follow, copy, or route funds into a vault.

No vault rankings

HypeBasis does not rank vaults, label a vault best, or turn historical APR into a forward return assumption. The page is a checklist for public fields and missing context.

HLP is treated as protocol context

The HLP vault is useful for understanding Hyperliquid-native liquidity and market-making context, but it is not a recommendation to deposit and public fields do not fully expose every position, hedge, or liquidation pathway.

Drawdown needs sample coverage

Maximum drawdown only means as much as the available account-value history. Thin samples are labeled as limited context.

Withdrawals are liquidity context

Max withdrawable, max distributable, and deposit status are reviewed beside PnL because a profitable history does not guarantee easy exit.

Lockup and exit context

Vault exits should be reviewed beside protocol withdrawal rules, current vault state, and available withdrawable balance. A visible account value is not the same as immediate liquidity.

Liquidation exposure is limited

Public vault details do not expose exact liquidation clusters, hidden hedges, or position-level exposure. HypeBasis labels that context unavailable instead of estimating it.

What HypeBasis does not infer

HypeBasis does not infer exact liquidation exposure, hidden hedges, private manager intent, future APR, or vault safety from public telemetry. If a public source does not expose a field, the UI should say the context is unavailable or limited.

Vault lookup

Inspect one public vault address at a time.

Market context

Review liquidity, OI, volume, funding, and stale states.

Risk notice
Vaults and copy-trading are high risk. Public performance can include drawdowns, manager decisions, leverage, liquidity constraints, and unrealized PnL; historical returns do not prove future results.
