# XYZ Architecture

Hyperliquid is a performant blockchain that offers permissionless access to hundreds of perpetual trading markets. Trades, execution, and settlement are all handled on-chain and processed by Hyperliquid’s decentralized set of [validators](https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/validators). 

Hyperliquid Improvement Proposal 3 (HIP-3) lets independent builders deploy and operate their own perpetual markets on Hyperliquid. You can read more details about HIP-3 in Hyperliquid’s documentation [here](https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/hyperliquid-improvement-proposals-hips/hip-3-builder-deployed-perpetuals).

**The XYZ protocol** is a HIP-3 DEX that defines market listings, oracle sources, leverage limits, and other parameters for XYZ markets. XYZ markets exist for a range of asset classes, including equities, indices/ETF's, and commodities.

**trade\[XYZ]** is an interface providing access to XYZ markets and other Hyperliquid markets. It is not the exclusive means of accessing XYZ markets.
