The HyperEVM is live. This is a major step toward the vision of housing all finance by bringing general-purpose programmability to Hyperliquid’s performant financial system. The initial mainnet release of the HyperEVM includes:
1. HyperEVM blocks built as part of L1 execution, inheriting all security from HyperBFT consensus.
2. Spot transfers between native spot HYPE and HyperEVM HYPE. As a reminder, HYPE is the native gas token on the HyperEVM.
3. A canonical WHYPE system contract deployed at 0x555...5 for defi applications. The source code can be found at https://t.co/pXmVRNpqov
Effective immediately, the bug bounty program will pay mainnet bounty amounts for reports within the scope of the points above. See https://t.co/KamzgZAYWh for details.
For API and wallet users: the mainnet HyperEVM has chain ID 999. A JSON-RPC server for the mainnet HyperEVM is hosted at https://t.co/BB0W8L4cXp. Node operators and other builders are encouraged to host their own RPC servers.
Tooling and analytics around mainnet HyperEVM may not be polished on day one. However, there are many talented builders working to solve these developer pain points. To help with these efforts, raw HyperEVM block data is streamed realtime to S3 so that running a node is not required to index the HyperEVM. More technical details can be found here: https://t.co/h6GeFo8HIl
General ERC20 native transfers and precompiles will be enabled on a future network upgrade. Any ongoing feedback for these features on testnet is greatly appreciated. While these features are implemented on testnet, the mainnet releases are staggered for minimal disruption to existing users on the L1. The HyperEVM is composable with the L1 state while not affecting the low latency trading experience of existing users.
Thank you to all the builders and users who have shared feedback on testnet so far. It will be exciting to see new applications leveraging and building upon the existing onchain financial system of Hyperliquid.
I've been away from the market for the last few weeks, reflecting on why I made such mistakes, especially when I was clearly telling myself how important it was to manage risk.

I think it was ego. After nailing the bottom around July 6th

My challenge balance was close to $7.5M, leaving only $2.5M to reach the $10M goal I set when I started this X account last September.
Turning $100K into $10M in one year seemed possible, but I think the pressure I put on myself to be active on X and trade to fulfil this target interfered with my focus.
Instead of trading solely based on market conditions, I was driven by the need to achieve that $2.5M goal.
This pressure led me to push myself even when I knew the market was just going to chop and there wasn’t much to do.
I forced myself to squeeze out the last bit of juice to hit that level, which resulted in
less sleep,
clouded judgment,
poor decision-making,
and a lack of patience at critical moments.
I was so exhausted that I missed the volatility spike on August 5th. I’m confident I would have capitalized on it to achieve my $10M challenge in under a year.
On the other hand, losing $2M this month has been deeply disappointing. Percentage-wise, I haven’t lost this much of my assets in the last 4-5 years.
This experience taught me a valuable lesson: I will never sleep when the VIX is higher than 60, and I’ll always be prepared for volatility.

So here I am, putting an end to my challenge. Turning $100K into $4.2M, including the Binance perp account that I shared live under SOJUBOMB, has been an incredible journey. But now, it’s time for me to shift focus.
I want to concentrate more on trading and research rather than fighting with myself, chasing profits, and becoming blind to what really matters.
Has been a great journey so far and got into great trenches by doing so, so I am happy with that
but it’s time to rewire myself back to a longer-term marathon mindset—one that balances life and trading together.
Moving forward, I’ll focus on high-conviction trades, even if it’s just one per month or every few months. My goal is to keep my PNL graph as flat as possible and survive as long as possible for the potential BTC supercycle, where only select sectors pick up while the rest still decay.
I’m still going to share my thoughts on the general market and where I’m looking, but my focus will be broader than before. So, I’ll probably tweet less frequently than I did over the last year.
As I close this chapter, my second journey begins now.
Market Thoughts
I’m still bullish, thinking that market volume will pick up around mid-September from a macro perspective.
After five months of newly listed perp tokens experiencing a down-only decay, seeing tokens like $RARE and $SYN squeezing upwards is, in my opinion, a very meaningful signal that the market may have bottomed and is starting to heal.
Gold reaching ATH is a very positive sign for BTC, especially after the halving. BTC has always caught up with gold, and while it might take some time with the usual chop, it will eventually follow.
Once BTC firmly breaks $100K, I have no doubt we’ll see a frothy alt season.
I still believe the MEME and AI sectors will be the best narratives until the end of this cycle—if we haven't ended yet.
Memes will never top before the cycle tops, and AI is the only genuinely new keyword we’ve seen this cycle.
Remember how NFT and GameFi dominated the last cycle? It’s always the new hot trends that give us the highest upside.
If a new narrative emerges, I’ll happily adjust my view and trade accordingly
Here is my no nonsense, zero fluff, list of my favorite gas optimized smart contracts, libraries, and protocols.
If you're a developer, you'll want to bookmark this as I would consider this to be the holy bible of efficient smart contract development.
If you're developing anything related to these smart contracts, I would highly recommend looking to these for inspiration.

I want to be a TOP smart contract auditor.
Solidity is a MUST HAVE, but building a strong foundation in EVM is crucial.
Starting this week, I'll be diving deep into the EVM.
Today, I'm sharing my ORDERED STEP-BY-STEP study plan. Join me, and let's tackle it together! 👇
Never worry about testnet ETH again - if you have deployed any contracts to Mainnet/Goerli/Sepolia, you are eligible for 10 ETH on each of those testnets

@nomsternom Funny I just posted a tip about how I use this but it never occurred to me to use it with a single promise to collect the data and error. Great idea!
