Roughly $576 million went to the Hyperliquid backstop, while about $64 million reached the order book.<\/p>\n<p>The split is relevant because a thinning public order book can push prices lower and force more leveraged positions to close. The Hyperliquid backstop can interrupt that feedback by absorbing orders inside the venue. The preprint has not completed peer review, and its direct measurement covers Hyperliquid rather than the wider market.<\/p>\n<p>Hyperliquid\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/hyperliquid.gitbook.io\/hyperliquid-docs\/trading\/liquidations\">liquidation rules<\/a> first try to close a position through market orders. Under specified conditions, a liquidator vault can take over the position instead.

It reported the 62.6% backstop share as a separate off-book series, so the figures describe different parts of its measurement rather than a single combined liquidation total.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Hyperliquid backstop damped liquidation feedback<\/h2>\n<p>The paper modeled the cascade with a branching ratio, or the average number of additional liquidations associated with each forced sale. A ratio approaching 1 would indicate a self-sustaining chain inside the venue.<\/p>\n<p>Hyperliquid\u2019s structural estimate remained below 0.2 in every measured regime. It reached 0.195 during nucleation and eased to 0.140 at the peak, while a separate amplification calculation implied a ratio of 0.122.<\/p>\n<p>The authors interpret the Hyperliquid backstop as damping feedback inside the venue at the climax.
