On September 21-22, 2025, alongside the Seoul Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) event, Hyperliquid also hosted its first offline hackathon event.

This 48-hour developer marathon attracted builders from around the globe and ultimately selected 13 winning projects, with a total prize pool of over $50,000.

With increased competition and rising user expectations, Hyperliquid needs a richer application layer to solidify its ecosystem.

This hackathon also signifies its transition from a mere trading platform to a complete ecosystem, where the outstanding projects may become dark horses in the ecosystem in the future, presenting opportunities.

From an AI trading assistant to cross-chain infrastructure, from risk management tools to social trading platforms, let's quickly take a look at who stood out among the participating projects in this competition.

1st Place: Hyperliquid Copilot

Project Focus: An AI-based professional trading assistant providing institutional-grade trade execution capabilities to Hyperliquid users.

The project was developed by the Wildmeta team, with the founder being Kevin Chen (@c_kevin75). Interestingly, Kevin was liquidated for $2 million on Hyperliquid earlier that day, only to win first place with this project that same evening. In his acceptance speech, he mentioned wanting to "write the trading lesson into the Wildmeta product."

Wildmeta is a broader Hyperliquid trading platform offering trader discovery, notification systems, chain abstraction, and HyperCore/HyperEVM account management. The Copilot feature showcased in the hackathon focuses on AI-driven trade insights, including real-time signal generation, automatic order execution, and quantitative analysis.

This tool seamlessly integrates with HyperCore, utilizing on-chain data and market patterns for AI analysis to help traders improve efficiency. A special emphasis is placed on risk management features, which may stem from the founder's own trading experience.

Current Status: The Wildmeta application has been launched, supporting iOS and Android, compatible with the Hyperliquid desktop application without the need for additional wallet setup.

Data Performance: Reportedly, the platform already has over 1 million PnL users.
