COMPLETE TRADING GUIDE

How to Trade on Entropy

Entropy deploys exactly two markets of its own, io:ANTH and io:SNDK, on top of Hyperliquid's matching engine and margin system under the HIP-3 framework. This guide covers the order types Entropy's app supports, the leverage caps and margin mode on each market, and how the mark price that drives liquidations actually works.

This is an independent guide, not the official app. New to Entropy? Start with our overview of what Entropy is for the full picture, then dive into the market-specific guides below.

What Trading Features Does Entropy's App Offer?

Entropy's trading interface supports Market, Limit, Stop Market, Stop Limit, Take-Profit Market, Take-Profit Limit, and TWAP orders, with TWAP execution windows configurable from 5 minutes up to 1,440 minutes (24 hours). Any order can be flagged reduce-only or post-only, positions can carry attached take-profit and stop-loss brackets, and a max-slippage setting protects market and TWAP fills. A "Pro" mode exposes the full order ticket for traders who want it.

Entropy does not run a spot market of its own. Its frontend also surfaces 319 perpetual markets pulled from six venues running on Hyperliquid, but only two of those, io:ANTH and io:SNDK, are markets Entropy itself deploys under HIP-3. The other 317, including the pre-IPO and equity perpetuals shown alongside them, are deployed and operated by other companies, chiefly trade.xyz, plus Paragon, HyENA and Markets by Kinetiq. This guide only covers the two markets Entropy deploys itself.

io:SNDKSanDisk (equity)10xIsolated

There is a documented discrepancy worth flagging here: Entropy's own docs state that Strict Isolated margin is "not enabled," but Hyperliquid's live API currently reports a marginMode of strictIsolated for both io:ANTH and io:SNDK. We cannot explain why the docs and the live data disagree, only report that they do, and that the API is what the platform is actually enforcing.

The Mark Price That Drives Liquidations

The mark price is what drives unrealized PnL, margin calculations, liquidation triggers, and stop-loss or take-profit triggers on both markets, and the mechanics differ by market type. On io:ANTH, the mark is 100% Entropy's own order book, a 5-minute average of the book mid, with no external price blended in. On io:SNDK, the calculation depends on whether the underlying equity market is open: during market hours it blends a public price feed with Entropy's internal order-book average, and outside market hours it is held within a band around the last traded price. io:ANTH is also priced in implied market capitalization rather than a share price: each $1 of contract price corresponds to $1 billion of implied Anthropic valuation. That number moves every day. As one dated snapshot, on August 26, 2026 an io:ANTH mark of 1995.2 implied a valuation of roughly $2.00 trillion, with the market's bounds set at $300 billion and $4.2 trillion; treat any specific figure here as already stale and check the live app for the current mark. See our pre-IPO perps explainer for the full mechanics and our risk breakdown for how the mark interacts with margin calls and auto-deleveraging.

Fees, the Referral Rebate, and What Else Lives on the Same Frontend

Entropy publishes 0.030% maker and 0.090% taker on its HIP-3 markets, the standard rate every HIP-3 deployer inherits from Hyperliquid. Growth Mode is currently active on both io:ANTH and io:SNDK, which scales fees, rebates, and volume contribution by 0.1, bringing the rate traders actually pay closer to 0.0030% maker and 0.0090% taker, a figure Entropy's own documentation never states directly. The full breakdown, with sources, is in our fees guide.

A referral link applies an automatic rebate on top of that, but only on Entropy-deployed markets, io:ANTH and io:SNDK, not the other markets shown on the same frontend. The published tier percentages are also calculated against Entropy's roughly 50% share of the fee, not the total a trader pays, so the entry tier's headline 25% works out to about 12.5% of what you actually pay in fees.

Because Entropy's frontend aggregates markets from six venues running on Hyperliquid, it is easy to assume Entropy operates all of them. It does not. Only io:ANTH and io:SNDK are markets Entropy deploys; the rest, including the pre-IPO and equity perpetuals from trade.xyz, Paragon, HyENA, and Markets by Kinetiq, are deployed and operated by those companies on the same Hyperliquid infrastructure. Our comparison of where to trade an Anthropic pre-IPO perp covers how those venues line up against io:ANTH specifically.

Before you size a position, it is worth reading how liquidations actually work here: there is no liquidator vault backstop on HIP-3 markets, so auto-deleveraging is the immediate fallback when a position cannot be closed on the book, and it cannot be opted out of. Our risk breakdown covers that mechanic in full, and our getting-started guide walks through account setup, the agent-wallet approval, and depositing USDC before you place a first trade.

Frequently Asked Questions

What order types does Entropy support?

Market, Limit, Stop Market, Stop Limit, Take-Profit Market, Take-Profit Limit, and TWAP, with TWAP execution windows from 5 to 1,440 minutes. Orders can be flagged reduce-only or post-only, positions can carry attached take-profit and stop-loss brackets, and a max-slippage setting protects market and TWAP fills. A "Pro" mode exposes the full order ticket.

What leverage can I use on Entropy?

Up to 3x on io:ANTH, the Anthropic pre-IPO perpetual, and up to 10x on io:SNDK, the SanDisk equity perpetual. Those are the only two markets Entropy deploys, and both currently report an isolated margin mode from Hyperliquid's live API.

Does Entropy offer spot trading?

No. Entropy does not run a spot market of its own. Its frontend also displays perpetual markets deployed by other HIP-3 operators, including trade.xyz, Paragon, HyENA and Markets by Kinetiq, but Entropy itself deploys only io:ANTH and io:SNDK.

What is the mark price, and why does it matter?

The mark price drives unrealized PnL, margin calculations, liquidation triggers, and stop-loss or take-profit triggers. On io:ANTH the mark is drawn entirely from Entropy's own order book, a 5-minute average of the book mid. On io:SNDK the calculation differs depending on whether the underlying equity market is open.

What does the io:ANTH price actually mean?

io:ANTH is priced in implied market capitalization, not a share price. Each $1 of contract price corresponds to $1 billion of implied Anthropic valuation. That figure moves daily, so check the live app for the current mark rather than relying on any number quoted here.

Are the other 317 markets on Entropy's site also Entropy's?

No. Entropy's frontend aggregates markets from six venues, and only io:ANTH and io:SNDK are markets Entropy deploys. The rest, including pre-IPO and equity perpetuals from trade.xyz, Paragon, HyENA, and Markets by Kinetiq, are deployed and operated by those other companies.
