# Introduction

<figure><img src="/files/GXQgCKg12uDg4I7k8lyw" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Stratium is a structured-finance protocol built on Hyperliquid.

Two products are running today.

**Perpetuals.** Live on Hyperliquid at [trade.stratium.xyz](https://trade.stratium.xyz), through Stratium's Builder Code. Every perpetual listed on Hyperliquid is tradable through the terminal. Planning for a deployment through HIP-3.

**Binary options.** Running on [markets.stratium.xyz](https://markets.stratium.xyz), ahead of mainnet deployment through HIP-4.

A third product, srHYPE liquid staking, has contracts deployed on HyperEVM at [app.stratium.xyz](https://app.stratium.xyz).

#### What we are building toward

Structured products are a multi-trillion-dollar category in traditional finance. They are the instruments institutions use to construct risk, manufacture yield, and convert uncertainty into a defined payoff. For fifty years they lived on bank balance sheets. They were priced in back offices, settled over days, and reached only through private relationships.

The instrument design was never the barrier. The opacity was.

Onchain infrastructure removes that barrier. Payoff logic is public. Settlement is composable. There is no issuing counterparty, no issuance cycle, and no minimum ticket size.

Stratium is building that layer on Hyperliquid, starting with the two products above and expanding into markets that require purpose-built price feeds.


# Why Structured Products?

### What They Are

A structured product combines multiple building blocks into a single position with a defined payoff. Instead of plain long or short exposure, it expresses a specific view: a range, a threshold, a volatility level, a conditional outcome.

A binary option is the simplest case. "Will BTC be above $100,000 on Friday?" pays a fixed amount if yes, zero if no. A range note pays only while an asset stays within set bounds. The trader chooses the outcome profile deliberately. That is structured finance.

### Why They Exist

**Hedging.** Protect against an adverse move without exiting the position. Buy volatility protection rather than selling spot and paying slippage.

**Yield.** Earn from non-directional exposure to volatility, rates, or correlation. Selling volatility in a calm regime produces income that directional positions cannot.

**Tailored risk.** Express bounded or conditional views a linear perpetual cannot. Cap the downside, define the payoff, trade the specific outcome you have a view on.

### Traditional vs. Stratium

| Aspect       | Traditional                     | Stratium                           |
| ------------ | ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Access       | OTC desks, large minimums       | Open market, no minimums           |
| Transparency | Opaque pricing, bilateral terms | Onchain, verifiable payoffs        |
| Liquidity    | Illiquid, hold to maturity      | Continuous trading via Hyperliquid |
| Counterparty | Bank or issuer                  | Protocol, non-custodial            |
| Settlement   | Days to weeks                   | Instant, onchain                   |
| Composition  | Static, single-issuer           | Composable across DeFi             |


# Accessing Stratium

Stratium operates two trading interfaces on Hyperliquid mainnet.

### Perpetuals: [trade.stratium.xyz](http://trade.stratium.xyz)

Trade perpetual futures through Stratium's Builder Code.

Your existing Hyperliquid USDC balance works across all markets. Same orderbook, same matching engine, same margin system as native Hyperliquid perps.

### Binary Options: [markets.stratium.xyz](http://markets.stratium.xyz)

Trade binary options through HIP-4.

HIP-4 markets are fully collateralized outcome contracts denominated in USDC. Positions settle to 0 or 1 at expiry. Zero fees to open positions. No leverage. No liquidation.

The interface includes a real-time orderbook, price charts, position and P\&L tracking, and a leaderboard.


# Oracle Architecture

Stratium relies on a modular oracle and data stack designed to support structured products, volatility markets, and macro-linked instruments on Hyperliquid HIP-3.

Rather than depending on a single oracle provider, Stratium integrates specialized data layers, each optimized for a specific function within the protocol.

### Programmable Data Layer: SEDA

[SEDA](https://www.seda.xyz/) is used as a programmable data execution layer. Its role includes executing custom data logic and transformations off-chain, enabling composable and programmable data pipelines, and supporting non-standard data inputs required for structured products.

SEDA allows Stratium to move beyond static price feeds by enabling logic-driven data computation that aligns with complex payoff structures.

### Price Feed & HIP-3 Relayer: Pyth Network

[Pyth Network](https://www.pyth.network/) serves as the primary real-time price feed provider for core market data. Within Stratium, Pyth feeds are relayed via a HIP-3 compatible relayer, used for spot prices, mark prices, and settlement references. Optimized for low-latency and high-frequency market conditions on Hyperliquid.

Pyth is treated strictly as a price signal layer, not a valuation or risk engine.

### Data Pipeline

| Stage       | Description                                                            |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Collection  | Price, volatility, and domain-specific data from specialized providers |
| Validation  | Outlier detection, staleness checks, sanity bounds                     |
| Computation | Custom transformations via SEDA for non-standard underlyings           |
| Aggregation | Weighted combination across valid sources                              |
| Delivery    | Price updates posted to Hyperliquid via HIP-3 oracle interface         |

### Operational Parameters

| Parameter      | Target                                       |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Price updates  | Sub-second during active markets             |
| Uptime target  | 99.9%+                                       |
| Infrastructure | Multi-region redundancy                      |
| Failover       | Automatic fallback to secondary data sources |
| Monitoring     | 24/7 alerting and incident response          |

### Design Philosophy

**Separation of concerns.** Price, volatility, and computational logic are sourced from independent, specialized providers.

**Composable data.** Feeds can be combined, transformed, or replaced without protocol redesign.

**Transparency.** All oracle dependencies are explicitly disclosed. No single provider controls pricing, valuation, or settlement logic.

### Disclaimer

Oracle providers integrated into Stratium operate independently. Stratium does not control, guarantee, or warrant the accuracy, availability, or continuity of any third-party data source. Oracle inputs are technical components within protocol logic and do not constitute financial advice or valuation guarantees.


# srHYPE Overview

### What is srHYPE

srHYPE is Stratium's liquid staking token for HYPE holders.

Deposit HYPE into the Stratium vault. Receive srHYPE. Earn staking yield and structured product trading fee share. Withdraw anytime, subject to liquidity.

<https://app.stratium.xyz/stake>

srHYPE is a fully transferable ERC-20 token representing your claim on underlying HYPE plus accumulated rewards.

### Why srHYPE Exists

HIP-3/ HIP-4 deployers on Hyperliquid must maintain a minimum 500,000 HYPE stake to operate perpetual markets. srHYPE secures this stake while giving depositors exposure to both staking yield and fee revenue.

This is not commoditized liquid staking. Most HYPE liquid staking tokens earn only validator rewards, which are a function of network issuance and compress over time. srHYPE holders earn a share of trading fees generated by Stratium's structured product markets. That fee share grows as Stratium deploys more markets and generates more volume. The yield profile is tied to a revenue-generating business, not just network issuance.

### Yield Sources

**Native staking.** Standard Hyperliquid validator rewards, less validator commission.

**Trading fee share.** A portion of the 50% deployer fee that Stratium earns from HIP-3 markets is distributed proportionally to srHYPE holders based on their share of total staked HYPE. Distributed in USDH.

The srHYPE/HYPE exchange rate increases over time as yield accrues. No manual claiming required.

### Withdrawals

Withdraw HYPE anytime there is liquidity above the 500,000 HYPE minimum.

1. **Request.** Enters a global queue (FIFO). You continue earning while queued. Cancel anytime before processing.
2. **Claim.** After processing and Hyperliquid's \~8-day unstaking period, claim HYPE to your Hypercore account.


# How to Stake HYPE

### Steps

1. Navigate to [app.stratium.xyz](http://app.stratium.xyz)
2. Connect your wallet
3. Navigate to the Stake section
4. Enter the amount of HYPE to stake
5. Confirm the transaction

You receive srHYPE at the current exchange rate.

### What You Earn

* Validator staking rewards
* Share of trading fees from Stratium markets (distributed in USDH)
* Points based on stake duration and amount

Rewards accrue automatically through the srHYPE exchange rate. No manual claiming required.

### Important Notes

* Staking and unstaking carry no protocol fees
* Minimum stake: none
* Withdrawals are subject to the 500,000 HYPE minimum vault threshold and Hyperliquid's \~8-day unstaking period
* All withdrawals settle to your Hypercore account. Ensure your account is active. See [Hyperliquid onboarding docs](https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/onboarding/how-to-start-trading)


# Stratium Points

Points track participation in Stratium over time.

Hold srHYPE to earn points. No srHYPE, no points.

### How It Works

Points are distributed weekly from a fixed pool. Your share depends on how much srHYPE you hold and how long you hold it during each measurement period.

This is calculated as stake-hours: the product of amount and duration. Your allocation is proportional to your stake-hours relative to all other participants that week.

### Multipliers

Earlier and longer participation earns higher multipliers. Tiers reward sustained holding over short-term positioning.

Multiplier details are published in the app.

### Weekly Snapshots

Points finalize at the end of each week. Past weeks are immutable and cannot be adjusted.

### Withdrawals and Transfers

**Withdrawals.** The system removes participation from lower tiers first, preserving higher-tier status where possible.

**Transfers.** Transferring srHYPE resets tier status. The recipient begins from the base tier.

### Future Use

Points are expected to convert to protocol rewards. Mechanics will be announced prior to any distribution.

Points are non-transferable, off-chain, and cannot be purchased. They are a record of participation, not a financial instrument.


# Staking Contracts

### Mainnet Deployment Addresses

| Contract     | Address                                      |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| StakingVault | `0x3F790D0080a5257a1AEfb257DDCDc19579a8998F` |
| srHYPE       | `0x89A40805a3d069d17B4672982942780A2A1Aa089` |

These contracts power the Stratium staking infrastructure, including the Staking Vault and srHYPE (Stratium Liquid Staking Token).

srHYPE is a standard ERC-20 token on HyperEVM.


# HIP-3: Trading Mechanics

## HIP-3: Trading Mechanics

### What is Builder Code

Builder Code is Hyperliquid's third-party distribution mechanism. Builders operate trading interfaces on top of Hyperliquid's execution layer and earn a fee on volume routed through their terminal.

Stratium's Builder Code terminal is live at [trade.stratium.xyz](http://trade.stratium.xyz).

### How It Works

When you trade through the Stratium terminal, you are trading on Hyperliquid's native orderbooks using Hyperliquid's matching engine. The Builder Code adds a 4.5bps fee on top of Hyperliquid's standard trading fees. This fee is retained entirely by Stratium.

Your experience is identical to trading on Hyperliquid directly: same orderbook depth, same margin system, same order types, same execution speed. The Builder Code is transparent and approved by the trader before the first trade.

### Key Parameters

| Parameter    | Value                                 |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------- |
| Collateral   | USDC                                  |
| Settlement   | Perpetual (no expiry)                 |
| Builder Fee  | 4.5bps gross                          |
| Order Types  | Market, Limit, Stop-Loss, Take-Profit |
| Margin Modes | Cross, Isolated                       |
| Funding      | Per Hyperliquid standard (hourly)     |

### Available Markets

All perpetual markets listed on Hyperliquid are accessible through the Stratium terminal. This includes native Hyperliquid perps, HIP-3 deployer markets, and any future structured product markets deployed by Stratium.

### Mark Price

Mark price follows Hyperliquid's robust price indices model, combining reference price, internal exchange data, and a smoothed EMA to mitigate manipulation risk. Mark price determines margin requirements, liquidation triggers, TP/SL execution, and unrealized PnL.

### Margining & Liquidations

Both cross-margin and isolated-margin modes are available.

**Cross margin.** Your entire USDC balance serves as collateral across all open positions.

**Isolated margin.** Margin is allocated per position. Losses are contained to the margin assigned.

Liquidation mechanics follow Hyperliquid's standard process. When a position's margin ratio falls below the maintenance requirement, the position is subject to liquidation. Liquidation triggers are based on mark price, not last trade price.

For complete margin and liquidation mechanics, see [Hyperliquid documentation](https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/trading/margin-and-leverage).


# Asian Perpetuals

Synthetic, market-referenced perpetuals on Asian equity indices and large-cap single names, settled in USDC.

### The Gap

A trader in the Gulf, Japan, or Southeast Asia who wants exposure to Asian equities faces a stack of friction: residency-based brokerage KYC, currency conversion, local settlement windows, and account minimums that vary by jurisdiction. Asian equities trade only during local market hours. A position cannot be opened, closed, or hedged when the local exchange is shut.

Onchain perpetuals remove that. One account, stablecoin collateral, continuous 24/7 trading, and no residency gate beyond a clear restricted-jurisdiction list.

### How It Works

Asian Perpetuals are synthetic. Each market references a public price and settles in USDC. There is no tokenized share, no custodian, no transfer agent, and no cross-border settlement cycle.

That is the reason the product can exist. Tokenized spot equity requires someone to hold the real share one-for-one in every jurisdiction. The synthetic route removes that dependency. Stratium lists on price, not on shares.

What a trader should understand: a synthetic perpetual tracks the reference price through the funding mechanism. It is a cash-settled derivative, not ownership of the underlying security. No dividends, no voting rights, no share certificate.

### Market Universe

The universe spans Asian indices and the most liquid single names across the region. The list below is the reference universe Stratium can build against, not a commitment to specific listings or a launch schedule. Instrument selection is determined by price feed availability and hedgeability.

**Indices**

Nikkei 225, TOPIX (Japan); TAIEX (Taiwan); Hang Seng, HSTECH (Hong Kong); CSI 300, FTSE China A50 (China); KOSPI 200 (Korea); STI (Singapore); Nifty 50, Bank Nifty, Sensex (India); LQ45 (Indonesia); SET50 (Thailand); FTSE KLCI (Malaysia).

**Single names**

Toyota, Sony, Tokyo Electron, Keyence, SoftBank, Nintendo (Japan); TSMC, MediaTek, Hon Hai (Taiwan); Tencent, Alibaba, Meituan, BYD, AIA (Hong Kong); Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, Hyundai (Korea); DBS, OCBC, UOB (Singapore); Reliance, TCS, Infosys, HDFC, ICICI (India).

The synthetic universe is close to unbounded. The two binding filters are a licensed price feed and a hedgeable spread. Any liquid Asian name with an obtainable feed and a workable hedge can be listed.

### Rollout

Asian Perpetuals roll out in waves, sequenced by data availability and liquidity rather than launching all at once.

1. Commodities and FX first. No equity-feed dependency, deep existing hedges.
2. Asian index wave. Nikkei 225, TAIEX, Hang Seng, FTSE China A50, KOSPI 200, STI. Clean futures hedges and obtainable feeds.
3. Asian single names. The most liquid large caps where a hedge and feed exist.
4. Additional single-market depth as feeds and market-maker coverage expand.

### Access and Settlement

Asian Perpetuals are cash-settled in USDC. Stratium lists derivatives that reference public prices and does not offer or custody the underlying securities.

Access is geofenced by user residence. The restricted list excludes US persons and any jurisdiction whose local law restricts crypto derivatives, plus source-market residents where local rules require it.

Volume tiers are denominated in USD.


# HIP-4 Markets

Stratium operates a binary options frontend on Hyperliquid's HIP-4 infrastructure, live on mainnet at [markets.stratium.xyz](http://markets.stratium.xyz).

### What is HIP-4

HIP-4 extends Hyperliquid beyond perpetual futures into outcome-based instruments. Where HIP-3 markets run continuously with no expiry and use funding rates to anchor price, HIP-4 contracts settle to a fixed outcome at a defined time.

HIP-4 launched on Hyperliquid mainnet on May 2, 2026.

Key properties:

* Fully collateralized in USDC
* Positions settle to 0 or 1 at expiry
* Zero fees to open or mint positions
* No leverage, no liquidation
* Runs natively on HyperCore (same matching engine as perps, \~200,000 orders per second)
* Same unified account as spot and perpetuals

### Why It Matters

Binary options on Hyperliquid sit in the same account as spot and perpetual positions. Volume and open interest from outcome markets count toward protocol-wide fee tiers, so an active binary options trader can qualify for lower fees on perpetuals through the same account.

Against standalone prediction venues, the structural advantages are concrete:

* Zero fees to open, versus tiered or percentage fees on winning positions elsewhere
* The same matching engine and execution quality as Hyperliquid's perpetual markets
* One margin account across spot, perps, and binary options, with no bridging and no separate deposit
* Fully onchain collateral and settlement in USDC

### How It Works

A binary option is a contract that asks a yes/no question about a future price level at a specific time. For example: "Will BTC be above $78,213 at 06:00 UTC on May 3?"

If yes, the YES token pays out $1 USDC. The NO token pays $0.

If no, the NO token pays out $1 USDC. The YES token pays $0.

YES and NO tokens always sum to $1. You can buy either side at market price through the orderbook. If YES trades at $0.62, the market prices a 62% probability that the condition will be met.

### Trading on Stratium

The interface provides:

* Market and limit orders on the HIP-4 orderbook
* Real-time price charts
* Full position and P\&L tracking
* Portfolio view across all open positions
* Leaderboard tracking trader performance

Connect your wallet and trade directly. Your existing Hyperliquid balance works. No additional deposits required.

### Market Types

**HIP-4 native markets.** Binary contracts on HyperCore L1, created and settled by Hyperliquid. The first live markets are BTC daily binary contracts. These settle against Hyperliquid's own mark price.

**EVM custom markets.** Binary YES/NO markets and speed markets (15-minute expiry) on BTC, ETH, SOL deployed on HyperEVM. Settled against published price feeds. Gasless after initial wallet setup.

### How HIP-4 Differs from HIP-3

|             | HIP-3 (Perpetuals)            | HIP-4 (Binary Options) |
| ----------- | ----------------------------- | ---------------------- |
| Expiry      | No expiry                     | Fixed settlement time  |
| Payoff      | Linear (continuous P\&L)      | Binary (0 or 1)        |
| Leverage    | Yes (configurable per market) | No leverage            |
| Liquidation | Yes                           | No liquidation         |
| Funding     | Hourly funding rate           | None                   |
| Collateral  | USDC                          | USDC                   |
| Fees        | Standard Hyperliquid schedule | Zero to open           |

### Terminology

Stratium frames HIP-4 instruments as binary options. The underlying instrument design is identical to what other platforms call prediction markets or outcome contracts. The framing reflects Stratium's positioning as a structured derivatives protocol rather than a prediction marketplace.

### Builder Deployment

Permissionless HIP-4 builder deployment follows the canonical market phase. Builders stake 500,000 HYPE to deploy outcome markets. Stakes are slashable. Each slot supports rolling and recurring markets and can be recycled after settlement.


# HIP-4: How to Trade

### Getting Started

1. Go to [markets.stratium.xyz](http://markets.stratium.xyz)
2. Connect your wallet
3. You're ready to trade. Your existing Hyperliquid balance works. No additional deposits.

### Placing a Trade

**Browse markets.** The markets page shows all available HIP-4 outcome contracts. Each market states the question, settlement time, and current YES/NO prices.

**Choose your side.** If you believe BTC will be above the strike at settlement, buy YES. If you believe it won't, buy NO. YES + NO always sum to $1 USDC.

**Order types.** Market orders execute immediately at the best available price. Limit orders sit on the orderbook until filled or cancelled.

**Position sizing.** Each YES or NO token costs between $0 and $1 USDC. Your maximum loss is what you pay for the token. Your maximum gain is $1 minus what you paid. No leverage. No liquidation. No margin calls.

### Managing Positions

The Portfolio page at [markets.stratium.xyz/portfolio](http://markets.stratium.xyz/portfolio) shows all open positions, unrealized P\&L, and settlement status.

You can close positions before settlement by selling your YES or NO tokens back on the orderbook at the current market price.

### Settlement

At the settlement time, the resolution source determines the outcome. If BTC is above the strike price, YES tokens pay $1 USDC each. NO tokens pay $0. If BTC is below, the reverse.

Settlement is automatic. USDC is credited to your Hyperliquid account.

### Fees

HIP-4 charges zero fees to open or mint positions. Fees apply only on close or settlement, following Hyperliquid's standard schedule.

### Leaderboard

The leaderboard at [markets.stratium.xyz/leaderboard](http://markets.stratium.xyz/leaderboard) tracks trader performance across HIP-4 markets.

### Tips

* The YES price reflects the market's implied probability. A YES at $0.75 means the market prices a 75% chance of the condition being met.
* You can trade both sides. Buy YES and later sell it if the price moves in your favor before settlement.
* Positions are denominated and settled in USDC. Ensure you have USDC in your Hyperliquid account.


# Security

#### What is Slashing

Slashing is HIP-3's primary enforcement mechanism for market integrity. Stratium's 500K HYPE stake serves as collateral that can be partially or fully slashed for protocol violations.

#### How It Works

Slashing decisions are made by validators through stake-weighted voting. The amount slashed can range from partial to full confiscation. Slashed HYPE is burned (not redistributed), preserving platform neutrality.

Even during the \~8 day unstaking queue, the stake remains slashable.

#### Slashable Behaviors

According to Hyperliquid's documentation, slashing may occur for:

* Irregular inputs that harm protocol uptime
* Irregular inputs that threaten solvency
* Irregular inputs affecting protocol correctness
* Attempted malicious inputs, even if unsuccessful

The guiding principle is that any slashable behavior should be accompanied by a bug fix. Hyperliquid's stated goal is that slashing should not be required in its final state.

#### Impact on Traders

Traders maintain custody of their collateral in Hyperliquid's smart contracts, not with Stratium. In the event of a slashing incident, open positions would be settled at prevailing mark prices. HIP-3 inherits Hyperliquid's mathematical solvency guarantees.

#### Realistic Assessment

Per Hyperliquid's documentation: in the most likely outcome, slashing never happens on mainnet. Despite mitigation efforts, slashing remains a protocol-level risk that participants should understand.

For complete details, see [Hyperliquid HIP-3 documentation](https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/hyperliquid-improvement-proposals-hips/hip-3-builder-deployed-perpetuals).

### Smart Contract Security

The **Stratium Staking Vault Contract** and **srHYPE (Stratium Liquid Staking Token)** have been audited by [Halborn](https://www.halborn.com/), one of the leading and most trusted smart contract security firms in the blockchain industry.

This independent review ensures the protocol meets high standards of security, reliability, and smart contract best practices before public deployment.

# Contracts & Addresses

### ERC-20 Composability

srHYPE is a standard ERC-20 token on HyperEVM. It can be held, transferred, and integrated into any protocol or application that supports the ERC-20 interface.

The srHYPE/HYPE exchange rate accrues yield continuously. Any protocol integrating srHYPE as collateral or a liquidity pair benefits from this accrual without additional oracle infrastructure.

### Potential Integration Categories

**Lending and borrowing.** srHYPE can serve as collateral in lending protocols on HyperEVM. Borrowers maintain staking yield exposure while accessing liquidity.

**Liquidity provision.** srHYPE can be paired in DEX pools, enabling secondary market liquidity for holders who want immediate exit without the \~8-day unstaking period.

**Delta-neutral strategies.** Protocols building yield products on Hyperliquid (similar to Liminal's xHYPE model for delta-neutral HYPE exposure) can integrate srHYPE as a yield-bearing base asset, layering structured product fee share on top of basis trade returns.

**Portfolio margining.** As Hyperliquid expands portfolio margin support, srHYPE holders may be able to use their staked position as margin collateral across trading accounts.

### For Developers

**Exchange rate query.** The StakingVault contract exposes the current srHYPE/HYPE exchange rate. Integrating protocols should query this rate for accurate valuation.

  A fifth of every builder fee collected at [trade.stratium.xyz](https://trade.stratium.xyz) flows into The Pot. Traders who trade on 7 distinct trading days qualify. 20 qualifying traders receive a share each period, allocated 40% to 1st, 30% across 2nd to 5th, and 30% across 6th to 20th. Ordering is derived from drand with the seed committed before the round resolves. Full mechanics on The Pot page.

* **What is Hybrid?**

  Hybrid shows the same event priced on Hyperliquid HIP-4 and on Polymarket side by side at [markets.stratium.xyz](https://markets.stratium.xyz). The two venues settle separately and do not share collateral.

* **What is srHYPE?**

  A liquid staking token received when you stake HYPE in the Stratium vault at [app.stratium.xyz](https://app.stratium.xyz). Each srHYPE represents staked HYPE backing it. Unlike native staking, srHYPE is transferable as an ERC-20 token on HyperEVM.

* **What are the rewards from holding srHYPE?**

  Validator staking rewards and Stratium Points accrue from deposit. A share of trading fees from Stratium's own HIP-3 markets is added when those markets are live. No manual claiming required.

* **What are the risks?**

  srHYPE carries the same core risks as staking HYPE directly, plus risks specific to HIP-3 deployment and liquid staking. These include slashing risk under HIP-3 validator enforcement, minimum stake and redemption risk against the 500,000 HYPE threshold, smart contract risk, and protocol risk from changes to Hyperliquid or HIP-3 rules. Understand these before holding srHYPE.

* **How can I withdraw or exit srHYPE?**

  Two routes. Redeem for HYPE through the vault at [app.stratium.xyz](https://app.stratium.xyz): submit a withdrawal request, wait the approximately 8-day unbonding period, then claim HYPE to your Hypercore account. Redemptions depend on vault liquidity above the 500,000 HYPE minimum. Or transfer or sell srHYPE on secondary markets as an ERC-20 token, subject to market liquidity.

* **Has the smart contract been reviewed?**

  The Stratium Staking Vault and srHYPE token contracts were reviewed by Halborn prior to mainnet deployment.

* **How do Points work?**

  Points track how long and how consistently you hold srHYPE. Distributed weekly from a fixed pool based on stake-hours. Earlier participation earns higher weight through tiered multipliers. Weekly snapshots are immutable. Transfers reset tier status. Points are off-chain, non-transferable, and expected to convert to protocol rewards and governance participation.

* **What is HIP-3?**

  Hyperliquid's framework for third-party perpetual futures deployment. Deployers stake 500,000 HYPE to deploy custom markets on Hyperliquid's matching engine and earn a share of trading fees from those markets. Separately, Builder Codes allow third-party terminals to route volume through Hyperliquid's infrastructure. Stratium runs Builder Code at [trade.stratium.xyz](https://trade.stratium.xyz) today, with structured product deployment in development.

* **What is HIP-4?**

  Hyperliquid's framework for binary outcome contracts, launched on mainnet 2 May 2026. Contracts are fully collateralised, settle to 0 or 1 at expiry, charge zero fees to open, and involve no leverage or liquidation. Stratium's HIP-4 interface is on testnet at [markets.stratium.xyz](https://markets.stratium.xyz) ahead of mainnet deployment.

* **How do I trade on Stratium?**

  For perpetuals, go to [trade.stratium.xyz](https://trade.stratium.xyz), connect your wallet, and trade any Hyperliquid perpetual through the Builder Code terminal. For binary options, go to [markets.stratium.xyz ](https://markets.stratium.xyz)and connect to the environment. For staking, go to [app.stratium.xyz](https://app.stratium.xyz), connect your wallet, and deposit HYPE to receive srHYPE.

# Terms of Use

Terms of Use

**Last Updated: January 15, 2026**

These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a legally binding agreement between **HorizonX Ltd**, a company incorporated under the laws of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) ("HorizonX", "we", "our", or "us"), and any individual or entity ("you", "your") accessing or using the Stratium platform, website (<https://stratium.xyz>), documentation (<https://docs.stratium.xyz>), applications, or any related materials and services (collectively, the "Platform" or "Services").

By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree, you must immediately stop using the Platform.

### Nature of the Platform

Stratium is a decentralized structured-finance protocol built on **Hyperliquid's HIP-3 architecture**, enabling the creation and trading of on-chain derivative markets that mirror traditional structured products such as variance, correlation, and macro exposure.

HorizonX Ltd operates the **informational website, user interface, and documentation layer**, but does not own, control, or operate the underlying smart contracts. Those contracts run autonomously on the Hyperliquid blockchain and are open-source, permissionless, and non-custodial.

You interact directly with blockchain code at your own discretion and risk. HorizonX is **not a broker, fund manager, custodian, or financial intermediary**.

### Eligibility

By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you:

* are at least 18 years old and have full legal capacity to enter into binding agreements;
* are not a citizen or resident of, and are not accessing the Platform from, a restricted or sanctioned jurisdiction, including the United States, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Russia, or any country subject to sanctions by the United Nations, OFAC, the European Union, or the United Arab Emirates;
* are not listed on any sanctions or watchlist maintained by an international or national authority; and
* will use the Platform only for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws.

HorizonX reserves the right to restrict access to the Platform if it reasonably believes you do not meet these eligibility requirements.

### Platform Access

You may use the Platform solely for lawful purposes.

HorizonX grants you a **limited, non-exclusive, revocable license** to access and use the Platform for your own personal or institutional purposes, subject to these Terms.

This license does not transfer any ownership rights or intellectual-property interests in the Platform, protocol, or any software components.

### Wallets and Non-Custodial Nature

The Platform connects with self-custodial digital wallets provided by independent third parties.

You are solely responsible for safeguarding your wallet, private keys, and seed phrases.

HorizonX:

* does not host or control wallets;
* cannot recover lost keys or reverse transactions; and
* bears no liability for loss of assets resulting from user error, phishing, unauthorized access, or smart-contract interaction.

By connecting your wallet, you authorize on-chain interaction with smart contracts deployed on Hyperliquid. All such transactions are **final, irreversible, and public**.

### No Professional Advice

Nothing contained in the Platform, documentation, or any communication from HorizonX Ltd constitutes financial, investment, legal, tax, accounting, or other professional advice. All information provided through the Platform is for general informational purposes only.

You should consult qualified professionals before making any decisions based on information obtained from the Platform. HorizonX does not recommend or endorse any specific digital assets, investment strategies, tax positions, or legal courses of action.

Any references to past performance, projected returns, or potential outcomes are not guarantees and should not be relied upon as indicators of future results. Digital assets are volatile and speculative, and you may lose some or all of your invested capital.

### Risk Disclosure

Using the Stratium protocol involves inherent risks, including but not limited to:

* market volatility and rapid fluctuations in the value of digital assets;
* potential software or smart-contract vulnerabilities;
* impermanent loss, liquidation, or depeg events;
* gas-fee spikes, network congestion, or validator failure; and
* changing regulatory or legal treatment of digital assets.

You acknowledge that HorizonX does not provide financial advice or guarantees of performance, yield, or liquidity.

All actions taken onchain are your own responsibility.

### Assumption of Risk

By accessing or using the Platform, you expressly acknowledge and assume the following risks:

**Smart Contract Risk.** You understand that the Stratium protocol operates through smart contracts deployed on the Hyperliquid blockchain. These smart contracts are autonomous, immutable once deployed, and may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or unforeseen interactions that could result in partial or total loss of your digital assets.

**Protocol Risk.** You understand that decentralized finance protocols, including those involving structured products, variance swaps, and derivative instruments, carry inherent risks including but not limited to: oracle failures, liquidation cascades, liquidity crises, and economic exploits.

**Regulatory Risk.** You understand that the regulatory status of digital assets, DeFi protocols, and structured financial products is unsettled and varies by jurisdiction. Future regulatory developments may adversely affect the availability, functionality, or legality of the Platform or your use thereof.

**Counterparty Risk.** You understand that while the protocol is non-custodial, interactions with other users, liquidity providers, or external integrations carry counterparty risks that HorizonX cannot eliminate or control.

**YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. YOU ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERACTING WITH BLOCKCHAIN-BASED PROTOCOLS AND DIGITAL ASSETS.**

### Audit and Security

HorizonX maintains a security programme that includes internal review processes, monitoring systems, and a responsible disclosure policy. Security concerns may be reported to <contact@stratium.xyz>.

The Stratium protocol smart contracts have been reviewed by independent third-party security auditors. Audit reports are available at <https://docs.stratium.xyz/risk/audit>. However, no audit can guarantee the absence of vulnerabilities. Security audits provide a point-in-time assessment and do not constitute a warranty of security, functionality, or fitness for any particular purpose.

### Experimental Features

Certain features of the Stratium protocol may be designated as "beta," "experimental," or "early access." Such features are provided on an as-is basis and may be incomplete, contain errors, or undergo significant changes without notice.

Experimental features may include, but are not limited to:

* New structured product types or trading mechanisms
* Novel pricing models or oracle implementations
* Integrations with third-party protocols or data sources

You acknowledge that interaction with experimental features carries heightened risk and agree that HorizonX bears no additional liability for losses arising from the use of such features. HorizonX may discontinue, modify, or restrict access to experimental features at any time without liability.

### Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

* use the Platform for unlawful activity, including money laundering, terrorist financing, or sanctions evasion;
* manipulate, disrupt, or interfere with the Platform or any blockchain network connected to it;
* engage in wash trading, spoofing, or other market manipulation;
* reverse engineer or modify Platform code;
* misrepresent your identity or location; or
* bypass geo-restrictions or access controls, including by using VPNs or proxy servers.

HorizonX may suspend or terminate access for violations of these Terms or applicable law.

### AML and Sanctions Compliance

HorizonX Ltd is committed to compliance with applicable anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing (CTF), and sanctions laws and regulations, including those enforced by the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the United Nations, OFAC, and the European Union.

While the Platform does not require account registration or identity verification for basic access, HorizonX reserves the right to:

* Implement identity verification procedures if required by law or regulation
* Monitor on-chain activity for suspicious patterns
* Restrict or terminate access if there is reasonable suspicion of illicit activity
* Cooperate with law enforcement and regulatory authorities as required by applicable law

You represent and warrant that your use of the Platform does not violate any applicable AML, CTF, or sanctions laws in your jurisdiction. You agree not to use the Platform to disguise the origin of funds, evade sanctions, or engage in any activity that would constitute money laundering or terrorist financing.

### Fees and Taxes

Interactions with the Stratium protocol may require gas fees, builder fees, or validator fees determined by the underlying blockchain and not by HorizonX. These fees are non-refundable and outside our control.

You are solely responsible for any taxes arising from your use of the Platform. HorizonX does not withhold or remit taxes on your behalf.

### Intellectual Property

HorizonX owns all rights to the Stratium brand, trademarks, logo, interface design, documentation, and visual assets. The underlying smart contracts are open-source and governed by their respective licenses.

You may not reproduce, modify, or use HorizonX's intellectual property without written consent.

You represent that you have the right to submit any Feedback and that such Feedback does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights. HorizonX is under no obligation to use, respond to, or acknowledge any Feedback.

HorizonX does not control or endorse these services and bears no responsibility for their accuracy, functionality, or security. Use of third-party tools is entirely at your own risk and subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.

### Disclaimers

The Platform and all Services are provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, HorizonX disclaims all warranties—express, implied, or statutory—including any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

HorizonX does not warrant that:

* the Platform will operate without interruption or error;

# Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

*Last Updated: October 31, 2025*

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how HorizonX Ltd (“HorizonX”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), a company incorporated under the laws of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), handles information collected or processed through Stratium — including its website (`https://stratium.xyz`), documentation (`https://docs.stratium.xyz`), applications, and associated community channels (collectively, the “Platform”).

HorizonX operates the interface and documentation layer of Stratium but does not own or control the decentralized smart contracts deployed on Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 architecture. Those contracts function autonomously and publicly on the blockchain, outside HorizonX’s direct control.

By accessing or using the Platform, you consent to the collection and handling of information as described in this Policy.

#### Scope

This Policy applies only to data processed by HorizonX through the Stratium informational website, documentation portal, and communication channels directly controlled by us.\
It does not extend to:

* interactions with blockchain networks or smart contracts;
* use of third-party wallets, decentralized applications (“Dapps”), or exchanges; or
* activities on other websites, products, or services linked from the Platform.

Blockchain transactions occur on public ledgers and are not subject to modification or deletion by HorizonX.

#### Nature of Stratium

Stratium is a non-custodial, permissionless protocol enabling structured-finance markets on-chain.\
HorizonX provides a front-end interface and educational resources for informational purposes.\
We do not:

* require user registration or identity verification;
* store personal keys, wallet credentials, or blockchain assets; or
* execute or reverse blockchain transactions.

All on-chain interactions are recorded transparently on public networks and are beyond our ability to alter or remove.

#### Information We May Process

While the Platform is designed to minimize data collection, certain information may be automatically or voluntarily provided when you interact with it.

1\. Information You Voluntarily Provide

You may choose to provide limited personal data through:

* Email communications or contact forms (e.g., business inquiries or investor relations);
* Participation in community channels or events;
* Submission of feedback, surveys, or partnership proposals.

In such cases, we may collect:

* Name, email address, or organization;
* Communication content and metadata;
* Any additional information you voluntarily disclose.

This data is used solely for correspondence and is deleted or anonymized when no longer required.

2\. Information Collected Automatically

When visiting our website or documentation, we may automatically log:

* Device and browser information (type, version, operating system);
* IP address and general geographic region (approximate, non-identifying);
* Referring URLs, session duration, and page interactions;
* Aggregated traffic metrics such as views, click rates, and bounce statistics.

We process this technical data for:

* Website performance monitoring;
* Security protection and fraud prevention;
* Anonymous analytics to improve usability.

We do not use behavioral tracking, advertising pixels, or cross-site identifiers.

3\. Cookies and Local Storage

The Platform uses minimal cookies or local storage strictly necessary for:

* Session continuity;
* User language preferences;
* Load balancing or system performance.

We do not deploy marketing, retargeting, or third-party advertising cookies.\
You can manage cookie preferences directly through your browser.

#### Blockchain and Onchain Data

All blockchain transactions conducted through Stratium occur directly on public networks.\
By design, these records are transparent and immutable. HorizonX does not collect, control, or store on-chain information, including wallet addresses or transaction details.

However, users should understand:

* Wallet addresses and transaction metadata are publicly viewable;
* Any transaction initiated via your wallet is permanently visible to others;
* Third parties may analyze blockchain activity and link addresses to identities.

Your blockchain activity is not private, and you should operate accordingly.

#### Legal Basis for Processing

Under ADGM and international data-protection frameworks, HorizonX processes personal data only when:

* necessary for the performance of a legitimate business or communication request;
* required to comply with applicable legal obligations (e.g., sanctions checks, court orders); or
* based on your explicit consent, which you may withdraw at any time.

We do not sell, lease, or trade any personal data.

#### Data Use and Purpose Limitation

Any information processed by HorizonX is used solely for the following purposes:

* Operating, maintaining, and improving the Platform and documentation;
* Responding to inquiries or support requests;
* Complying with applicable laws and regulatory obligations under ADGM;
* Protecting against fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access;
* Conducting aggregated analytics for system optimization.

We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling.

#### Data Retention

We retain minimal user data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law.\
Anonymous or aggregated data that cannot identify individuals may be retained for research and security analysis.\
Emails and contact submissions are deleted once resolved unless required for legal recordkeeping.

#### Data Security

We implement appropriate administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information within our control, including:

* Encrypted HTTPS connections;
* Limited administrative access;
* Periodic vulnerability assessments;
* Secure data deletion and anonymization policies.

Despite these measures, no system is immune from risk. You acknowledge that information transmitted via the Internet or stored on decentralized networks may not be completely secure.

#### International Data Transfers

HorizonX Ltd operates within the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) but may engage service providers located in other jurisdictions for website hosting, analytics, or communication.\
All such transfers are conducted in compliance with ADGM Data Protection Regulations and include contractual safeguards ensuring an adequate level of protection.

#### Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share personal data except in the following limited cases:

* With service providers who assist in operating the Platform (e.g., analytics or hosting) under strict confidentiality obligations;
* To comply with applicable laws, regulations, or court orders;
* To protect the rights, property, or safety of HorizonX, users, or others;
* In connection with a corporate restructuring, merger, or transfer of assets, provided that equivalent protections remain in place.

We do not sell personal data under any circumstances.

#### Third-Party Services

The Platform may link to third-party services, wallets, or decentralized applications.\
HorizonX has no control over and is not responsible for the content, policies, or data-handling practices of such third parties.\
You are encouraged to review the privacy policies of each service before use.

#### Children’s Privacy

The Platform is not directed to or intended for individuals under 18 years of age.\
We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.\
If you believe a minor has provided personal information to us, please contact <legal@stratium.xyz> for prompt removal.

#### User Rights

Under applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including:

* The right to access and obtain a copy of your data;
* The right to request correction or deletion of inaccurate information;
* The right to restrict or object to specific processing;
* The right to data portability;
* The right to withdraw consent at any time.

Because HorizonX collects minimal data, these rights may be limited in practice.\
To exercise any rights, contact <privacy@stratium.xyz>.\
We may verify your identity before processing any request.

#### No Custody or Monitoring

HorizonX does not monitor, control, or retain any user assets, private keys, or on-chain activities.\
Your blockchain transactions are processed by decentralized networks and governed by immutable code, outside the scope of traditional data regulation.

#### Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect technical, legal, or operational changes.\
Revised versions will be posted at <https://docs.stratium.xyz> with a new “Last Updated” date.\
Material updates will be communicated through official channels where feasible.\
Your continued use of the Platform after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.

#### Contact Information
