Hyperliquid Market Maker Development: Project Plan, Deliverables and Timeline
How to scope a custom Hyperliquid market maker, including WebSocket state, order handling, inventory risk, testing and production rollout.
How to scope a custom Hyperliquid market maker, including WebSocket state, order handling, inventory risk, testing and production rollout.
Phase 1: strategy specification
Define instruments, quote frequency, spread model, size ladder, inventory target and loss limits. Decide how funding, volatility and book imbalance change quotes. These inputs determine both engineering scope and test criteria.
Phase 2: exchange integration
The system should consume l2Book, trades, order updates and user fills, then recover from disconnects using snapshot reconciliation. Order prices and sizes must respect current tick and lot constraints.
Phase 3: risk engine
Implement position, notional, leverage, drawdown, stale-feed and rejected-order limits. Subaccounts or vaults can isolate strategies, but the master signing and transfer workflow still requires careful authorization.
Phase 4: validation and rollout
Backtest with realistic latency and fills, run testnet integration, then deploy a small-capital canary. Acceptance reporting should compare quoted spread, fill rate, inventory, mark-outs and downtime.

Ready to discuss the build?
Describe your target chain or venue, strategy, current code and operational constraints on the TierZero contact page. We will turn it into a concrete scope, delivery plan and estimate.
Building this for production?
We turn this architecture into tested, non-custodial software with monitoring, documentation and deployment support.
