EVM Perp Sandbox

Explore a Hyperliquid-style perp exchange on an EVM-oriented stack. Test matching, funding, liquidations, and ADL before committing to a production design.

Best for: exchange mechanics on an EVM-oriented stack. Core question: how does a perp exchange behave under stress?

What this sandbox helps you test

Built for teams that want to understand exchange behavior, not just exchange UI.

CLOB behavior

Inspect how order placement, fills, and matching flow through a perp engine.

Funding loop

See how funding interacts with positions, collateral, and exchange health over time.

Liquidation path

Trigger price shocks and observe liquidation logic under stress.

ADL safety net

Explore what happens when liquidation alone is not enough to keep the system safe.

Who it is for

This is most useful when you are designing a perp venue or evaluating market mechanics.

1

Perp DEX builders

Validate exchange mechanics before writing your full system.

2

Infra researchers

Compare behavior across execution surfaces and risk models.

3

Hackathon teams

Get a working conceptual scaffold instead of starting from zero.

Example scenarios

These are the kinds of questions this sandbox is meant to make concrete.

Funding divergence

Move the mark away from the index and watch how funding pushes positions back toward balance.

Crash and liquidation

Drop the market, inspect who becomes liquidatable, and see how the engine clears risk.

ADL escalation

Explore what happens when ordinary liquidation is not enough and the system needs a final safety mechanism.

What a real proof surface should show

This direction only matters if it exposes concrete internal behavior rather than high-level claims.

Account health breakdown

Show which variables pushed an account toward liquidation and by how much.

Funding path replay

Replay the mark, index, funding rate, and position impact through time.

Liquidation trace

Expose the state transition from healthy to liquidatable to cleared risk.

See how an EVM perp system behaves under stress

The goal is not just to understand the architecture. It is to watch the whole system move.
