Hypercall – Options trading for everyone, settled on Hyperliquid

|18 Sep 2026|Podcasts|

Jake Sylvestre is the founder of Hypercall, an on-chain options exchange built on Hyperliquid. He co-founded his first company, the cybersecurity awareness firm PhishTrain, while still in high school, and moved into crypto through incident response work on ransomware attacks. He went on to contribute to btcd, build a Lightning Network yield product, and lead engineering at Synapse, the cross-chain bridge that has processed more than $55bn in volume across 2.5m users. Hypercall is the same team's pivot from moving assets between chains to writing derivatives on top of them.
