Trade.xyz Tells Users Not to Click Its Documentation Links While It Probes GitBook Incident
The company said its GitBook documentation was restored as of 9:15 a.m. ET, but it has not said what the activity was or whether anything beyond the docs was affected.
Dextape brief
Trade.xyz, which runs perpetual futures tied to stocks, indexes and commodities on Hyperliquid, told users on Monday to avoid every documentation link. It said in an X post that it had spotted questionable activity on the GitBook site hosting those guides that morning. The docs were returned to their prior state by 9:15 a.m. Eastern, and the company is reviewing the incident. The link warning stays in place, and the post gave no details on what occurred, how it happened, or when it began, nor on whether the app, smart contracts or user funds were affected. The episode came four days after an October 29 announcement that Intercontinental Exchange, which owns the New York Stock Exchange, planned a strategic investment and a U.S. venue for round-the-clock Hyperliquid futures, pending Commodity Futures Trading Commission approval.
Why it matters: Official links in trading venue documentation are where users often go, so unauthorized edits there can expose users to risk.
