What Is Entropy?

Entropy is a HIP-3 builder-deployed perpetuals venue running on top of Hyperliquid, operated by Bursa Global Inc. under the deployer ticker io. It launched trading on August 19, 2026, and runs exactly two markets of its own: io:ANTH, a cash-settled perpetual on an implied Anthropic valuation, and io:SNDK, an equity perpetual on SanDisk. Its frontend also displays 317 markets deployed by other operators, chiefly trade.xyz, which runs about 97% of all HIP-3 volume. Entropy is a tenant on Hyperliquid, not a part of Hyperliquid, Hyper Foundation or Hyperliquid Labs, and none of its markets convey shares, voting rights, or any claim on the referenced company.

Entropy publishes 0.030% maker and 0.090% taker on its HIP-3 markets, the standard rate every HIP-3 deployer inherits from Hyperliquid (per Entropy's fee documentation). Both live markets currently run in Growth Mode, which scales fees by 0.1, so the rate traders actually pay today is closer to 0.0030% maker and 0.0090% taker, a figure Entropy's own docs never state directly. A referral link then layers an automatic rebate on top, returning about an eighth of every fee for as long as the account trades. It has to be attached when the account is created and cannot be added later, so it is worth sorting out before a first trade rather than after. The full breakdown, with sources, is in our fees guide.

io:ANTH prices in implied market cap rather than a share price: each $1 of contract equals $1 billion of implied Anthropic valuation. The mark that drives liquidations is a 5-minute average of Entropy's own order book rather than an external feed, and there is no liquidator vault backstop, so auto-deleveraging is the immediate fallback if a position cannot be closed on the book. Those mechanics, along with the open interest caps and margin modes on both markets, are covered in our risk breakdown.

CLAIM YOUR REBATE

Get a 25% Referral Benefit on Every Trade

Sign up through our link and Entropy attaches its 25% referral benefit to your account automatically, paying back a share of every trade for as long as you trade. Stack that on Growth Mode, which is live on both markets right now and already cuts the taker rate to 0.0090%, and it is the cheapest route into these markets we can measure. A code can only be attached at signup, so a trader who arrives without one pays the full rate permanently.

Entropy applies that 25% to its own share of the trading fee, so it lands as roughly an eighth of what you pay. We work the arithmetic through in full, with sources, on the referral page.

HOW IT STACKS UP

Entropy vs. Where Else You Can Trade Anthropic

Depth decides this one. Entropy's io:ANTH traded about $17.6M in the last 24 hours against roughly $17K on Lighter's Anthropic book. A 0% fee on a market that thin costs you far more in slippage than a 0.0090% fee on one you can actually size into.

Volume and open interest read live on August 26, 2026: Entropy's io:ANTH from the Hyperliquid API, Lighter's ANTHROPIC market from its own public order-book endpoint. Entropy turned over roughly $17.6M against Lighter's $17K in the same 24 hours, which is why a 0% fee there is not the cheaper trade. Effective taker fees as measured or published: Entropy and trade.xyz both run Hyperliquid's HIP-3 schedule with Growth Mode active, per Entropy's fee documentation. Coinbase figures come from its own published schedule, restated on our comparison pages. Rates exclude referral rebates. Liquidity moves daily; these are point-in-time readings.
