What is Upheaval DEX?
Upheaval DEX is a decentralized exchange built on HyperEVM, designed to become the launchpad, liquidity hub, and gateway for the Hyperliquid ecosystem. More than just a trading venue, Upheaval combines token launches, deep liquidity, and fiat on-ramps into one platform, making it the core growth engine for HyperEVM.
Core Functions

Projects launching through Upheaval use a bonding-curve model that guarantees fairness and transparency. Liquidity raised during the launch is automatically seeded into the DEX, ensuring active markets from day one and protecting participants from thin liquidity.
Liquidity Hub
Upheaval acts as a central liquidity layer for HyperEVM assets. It aggregates orders and routes trades to provide users with the highest possible output while reinforcing market depth across the ecosystem.

Fiat-to-Crypto Gateway
One of the most important upgrades coming to Upheaval is the ability to purchase HyperEVM assets directly with fiat currency. Instead of requiring third-party exchanges or complicated bridges, new users will be able to enter the ecosystem with a credit card or bank transfer, dramatically lowering the barrier to entry for retail and institutional participants.
Why Upheaval Matters

Summary
Upheaval DEX is more than just a place to trade. It is the onboarding gateway, launchpad, and liquidity backbone of HyperEVM, combining native token growth, cross-chain access, and fiat entry points into a single ecosystem.
As Hyperliquid continues to expand, Upheaval is positioned to play a critical role in making HyperEVM accessible to millions of new users — from crypto-native traders to those entering the space for the very first time.
