Wallet margin without ID: isolated first, pay fees on notional, keep the slider in the low single digits. Hyperliquid first, Aster to research later.
SPX, US500 and SPY-style wallet perps: Aster for TradFi coverage, Hyperliquid HIP-3 when index depth exists. Not shares, not SPY dividends.
WTI and Brent as wallet perps: Aster for commodities coverage, Hyperliquid HIP-3 when oil depth exists. Not barrels, not NYMEX delivery.
