Users can buy, sell, send, and receive tokens across Solana, Base, BSC, Monad, and other blockchains, with market, limit, and DCA orders, cross-chain trading, Hyperliquid perps, real-time trend and wallet tracking, social feeds, and an on-chain PnL leaderboard. Execution runs through decentralized exchanges, and Hype never holds custody of user funds, aiming to bring memecoins to the masses.
