Two wallet-native prediction markets. One lives on Base, the other on Hyperliquid's own order book.
Updated August 2026
The Liquary case, in three numbers
| What matters | Liquary | Limitless |
|---|---|---|
| Built on | Hyperliquid L1: HIP-4 markets on a fully on-chain order book | Base (Ethereum L2), with markets also reachable on Polygon and Ethereum |
| Custody | Self-custodial: your keys, whether you sign in by email or connect a wallet | Self-custodial: connect a crypto wallet, funds stay in your control |
| Onboarding | Email code: no seed phrase, no KYC, no wallet required | Bring your own wallet |
| Taker fee | 0% until Oct 31, 2026, then a flat 0.05% per fill, buy and sell | Roughly 0.40–3.00% to buy and 0.42–1.50% to sell, by market |
| Maker fee | Hyperliquid's maker rate, which falls to a rebate at volume | Free: resting limit orders pay nothing |
| Beyond predictions | Perps with leverage and spot trading in the same account | Prediction markets only |
| Market catalog | Curated HIP-4 markets: crypto, sports, macro | Crypto-led, with a strong short-horizon price-market franchise |
| Collateral | USDC, shared with your perps and spot positions | USDC on Base |
| Settlement speed | Sub-second finality on Hyperliquid's L1, no gas per trade | Base block times, with gas paid per on-chain action |
Limitless and Liquary start from the same premise: prediction markets belong on-chain, in your own wallet, settled in stablecoins rather than through a broker. Where they diverge is the venue. Limitless deployed its own contracts on Base and grew into the largest prediction market on that chain, backed by a 2025 seed round from 1confirmation, Coinbase Ventures and DCG. Liquary does not run its own market contracts at all: it trades HIP-4, Hyperliquid's native prediction-market standard, and Polymarket's markets beside it, so the order book, the matching and the settlement are the venue's.
That choice shapes the trading experience more than any feature list. On Base, every action is an on-chain transaction with gas attached. On Hyperliquid, orders and cancels are signed messages against an L1 built for an order book, so they clear in under a second and cost no gas. If you reprice often, that difference compounds.
Limitless charges takers roughly 0.40% to 3.00% to buy and 0.42% to 1.50% to sell, varying by market, and nothing at all on resting limit orders. That last point is a real advantage and worth saying plainly: if you are patient and always post, Limitless can be cheaper than almost anyone.
If you cross the spread, the comparison changes shape. The Liquary fee is 0% until October 31, 2026, and a flat 0.05% per fill afterwards, on the buy and on the sell alike. Holding a position through to resolution is still free of it: settlement is not a fill. Hyperliquid's own exchange fee applies separately on both sides, as a venue fee does everywhere, so the honest comparison is percent against basis points on the taker side, and their favour on the maker side.
The structural difference is not the fee schedule, it is what sits next to the prediction. On Liquary, the same USDC funds perps, spot and prediction markets in one account. A view on an event can be expressed as a market position, hedged with a perp, or funded by selling spot, without bridging, without a second app, and without a second deposit.
Limitless is a prediction market and does that one thing. That focus is a legitimate answer, and for a trader who only wants event exposure it removes surface rather than adding it. It is a genuine fork in the road rather than a scoreboard.
On the taker side, yes by a wide margin: the Liquary fee is 0% until October 31, 2026 and 0.05% per fill afterwards, against roughly 0.40–3.00% to buy on Limitless. On the maker side Limitless wins outright, because resting limit orders there are free. Hyperliquid's exchange fee applies separately in both directions.
No. Signing in with an email one-time code creates a self-custodial wallet automatically, with no seed phrase to store. Limitless requires you to bring your own wallet. If you already have one, you can connect it to Liquary instead.
Not on Liquary. Orders and cancels are signed messages on Hyperliquid's L1, so there is no per-trade gas. Limitless settles on Base, where each on-chain action carries a gas cost, small but not zero and paid every time you reprice.
They cover different ground rather than the same ground at different depths. Limitless leans into short-horizon crypto price markets and is the largest venue of its kind on Base. Liquary surfaces the HIP-4 catalog on Hyperliquid: crypto, sports and macro. Check both against the events you actually want to trade.
On Liquary, yes, in the same account and against the same USDC balance. On Limitless you would need a separate venue for the perp leg, which means bridging funds and managing two positions across two apps.
Live prediction markets on sports, crypto and macro, no account needed to look.
