OpenETF, a tokenized fund platform, rolled out a testnet system on Oct. 6, 2026 that turns Hyperliquid portfolios into funds with tokenized shares held directly in users’ wallets. The deployment currently uses valueless test assets, and the documentation says real funds should not be sent to the system. Each fund includes a name, ticker, public terms and an ERC-20 compatible share token, while managers trade the portfolio on Hyperliquid and investors hold the fund shares themselves. Subscriptions are made in USDC at net asset value with a minimum of 100 USDC, though managers can set a higher threshold. The structure uses a vault spanning HyperCore and HyperEVM: the HyperEVM vault contract issues shares and handles subscription and redemption pricing and payments, while the same vault on HyperCore serves as the trading account that holds and trades the portfolio. Fund creation does not require approval or a setup fee. Managers must buy at least 100 USDC in shares and choose a commitment ratio of at least 5%. Performance fees can be set from 0% to 50% of aggregate profits, with a 20% default, and management fees range from 0% to 2% annually, with a 0% default. The document did not provide a mainnet launch date.

OpenETF, a tokenized fund platform, launched a testnet system on Oct. 6, 2026 that packages Hyperliquid portfolios into funds whose shares exist as wallet-held tokens, according to ChainCatcher.

The current deployment uses valueless test assets. Its documentation says real money should not enter the system, and describes the rollout as testnet-only. No mainnet launch date was provided.

Fund setup and share structure

Each fund comes with a name, symbol, public terms and an ERC-20 compatible share token. Managers trade the portfolio on Hyperliquid, while investors hold the shares in their own wallets.

Initial subscriptions are made in USDC at net asset value, with a minimum of 100 USDC. Managers can set a higher minimum.

Vault spans HyperCore and HyperEVM

The fund is structured as a vault across HyperCore and HyperEVM. On HyperEVM, the vault contract issues shares and handles pricing and payments for subscriptions and redemptions. The same vault on HyperCore acts as the trading account that holds and trades the portfolio.

Investors hold the share tokens. Managers direct trading, but they do not obtain the vault’s trading key.

Creation rules and fee settings

Creating a fund requires neither approval nor a creation fee. Managers must buy at least 100 USDC of shares and select a commitment ratio of at least 5%.

Performance fees can be chosen from 0% to 50% of aggregate profits, with a default of 20%. Management fees range from 0% to 2% per year, with a default of 0%. Both fee settings are frozen after shares are issued.

Redemption adjustment fee on testnet

For the portion of redemptions that has already been priced, the testnet charges an exit adjustment fee starting at 0.1%, with an added 0.05% for each unit of nominal leverage, capped at 1%. The fee remains in the fund.
