Hyperliquid L1 vs Provenance

Hyperliquid is a performance‑tuned Layer‑1 that employs HyperBFT consensus—an optimised HotStuff variant—to finalise blocks in 400 ms. Its on‑chain order book matches > 100k orders per second without gas, made possible by an in‑memory state machine replicated across 32 validators. Launched in April 2024, the chain settles $4‑6 billion daily volume in perpetual futures and supports CosmWasm smart contracts for third‑party dApps.

Provenance Blockchain is a Cosmos SDK proof-of-stake network built for financial services and tokenized real-world assets. It brings issuance, servicing, settlement and exchange workflows on-chain so institutions can replace intermediary-heavy processes with verifiable records and protocol-level controls. HASH is used for fees and governance across the network.
