🚨 There’s a large-scale supply chain attack in progress: the NPM account of a reputable developer has been compromised. The affected packages have already been downloaded over 1 billion times, meaning the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk.
The malicious payload works by silently swapping crypto addresses on the fly to steal funds.
If you use a hardware wallet, pay attention to every transaction before signing and you're safe.
If you don’t use a hardware wallet, refrain from making any on-chain transactions for now.
It’s still unclear whether the attacker is also stealing seeds from software wallets directly at this stage.
Excellent report here: https://t.co/5CtiZJHYsN
Urgent: Update iOS Now — A Dangerous Vulnerability Found in Safari and Chrome Browsers.
Apple has released an emergency update for iOS 18.6 to address a serious security vulnerability. Hackers are already exploiting it — simply visiting a website can trigger the malicious code. There's no need to download anything.
What’s particularly concerning is that all iPhones starting from the XS model are at risk. Attackers can gain access to passwords, banking information, and even enable hidden surveillance.

Introducing our first set of Llama 4 models!
We’ve been hard at work doing a complete re-design of the Llama series. I’m so excited to share it with the world today and mark another major milestone for the Llama herd as we release the *first* open source models in the Llama 4 collection 🦙. Here are some highlights:
📌 The Llama series have been re-designed to use state of the art mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture and natively trained with multimodality. We’re dropping Llama 4 Scout & Llama 4 Maverick, and previewing Llama 4 Behemoth.
📌 Llama 4 Scout is highest performing small model with 17B activated parameters with 16 experts. It’s crazy fast, natively multimodal, and very smart. It achieves an industry leading 10M+ token context window and can also run on a single GPU!
📌 Llama 4 Maverick is the best multimodal model in its class, beating GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 Flash across a broad range of widely reported benchmarks, while achieving comparable results to the new DeepSeek v3 on reasoning and coding – at less than half the active parameters. It offers a best-in-class performance to cost ratio with an experimental chat version scoring ELO of 1417 on LMArena. It can also run on a single host!
📌 Previewing Llama 4 Behemoth, our most powerful model yet and among the world’s smartest LLMs. Llama 4 Behemoth outperforms GPT4.5, Claude Sonnet 3.7, and Gemini 2.0 Pro on several STEM benchmarks. Llama 4 Behemoth is still training, and we’re excited to share more details about it even while it’s still in flight.
A big thanks to all of our launch partners (full list in blog) for helping us bring Llama 4 to developers everywhere including @huggingface, @togethercompute, @SnowflakeDB, @ollama, @databricks and many others👏 This is just the start, we have more models coming and the team is really cooking – look out for Llama 4 Reasoning 😉
A few weeks ago, we celebrated Llama being downloaded over 1 billion times. Llama 4 demonstrates our long-term commitment to open source AI, the entire open source AI community, and our unwavering belief that open systems will produce the best small, mid-size and soon frontier models. Llama would be nothing without the global open source AI community & we are so ready to begin this next chapter with you. 🦙

HyperCore and HyperEVM linking is live on mainnet. HyperCore spot assets are now available as building blocks for applications on HyperEVM. Furthermore, HyperEVM builders now have a permissionless path to listing on the same liquid and performant order books that power billions of volume every day on HyperCore.
The full defi lifecycle includes building a project, launching a token, and trading that token. Every step of the journey can be done permissionlessly within Hyperliquid. Defi features composability, self-custody, and no gate keepers. CEXs feature frictionless UX and deep liquidity. Hyperliquid combines both into a seamless and onchain system to house all of finance.
See the Docs for details: https://t.co/aIG1amtGyt. It is strongly recommended to test everything on testnet before linking on mainnet, as linking is immutable.
Execution
Extremely proud of the community and team for the smooth launch of the HyperEVM. The upgrade happened amidst billions of dollars of daily volume, where the majority of defi derivatives trade. There was no downtime, and no performance degradation after the launch.
The UX of trading is still so seamless that many users assume the HyperEVM is a separate chain! To be clear: the HyperEVM and the existing native Hyperliquid financial system are one composable state.
The safest way to upgrade this uniquely complex system is a gradual rollout. Precompiles and other L1 interactions will build upon the sturdy foundation of the initial HyperEVM release. This will unlock an entirely new class of performant defi applications, but more on that later.
Right now I want to focus on the execution of the launch. A bug in HyperEVM logic or an unoptimized code path would've crippled the entire blockchain, affecting hundreds of thousands of users and billions in open interest.
This was a massively challenging launch: a jet's engine was flawlessly changed mid-flight.

Philosophy
The HyperEVM launch stayed true to Hyperliquid’s “no insiders” principle. Hyperliquid has always embodied the original ethos of crypto: no investors, no paid market makers, no fees going to any company. The HyperEVM launch is yet another example that integrity and fairness are the pillars of Hyperliquid.
The tradeoff of a fair launch is that things are a bit messy to start. Tooling might not be there from day one. Builders need to familiarize themselves with the tech. But these short term obstacles are nothing compared to the long term value of fairness. No one had a head start or unfair advantages. I’m impressed that some teams deployed dapps, tooling, and analytics within hours of the HyperEVM release, a testament to the strength of the builders and community.
Hyperliquid will eventually be the credibly neutral infrastructure that houses all of finance. Looking back, the L1 launch, HYPE genesis, and HyperEVM launch will all be important milestones. Success is path dependent, and there can be no blemishes on the fair trajectory towards the final state.
The HyperEVM is a clean slate. The community is hungry for quality applications. Where else in the world is there such an imbalance between supply and demand for applications built? Fast, general purpose chains are nothing new. But on Hyperliquid, builders can plug into a mature, liquid, and performant onchain economy with real users.
I've noticed a pattern that builders, traders, and communities who "make it" on Hyperliquid are those who call Hyperliquid home. Legacy players don't win just because of their credentials. Newcomers have equal opportunity to win by challenging the status quo and seizing the opportunities. There are empires to be built on the HyperEVM, and the community welcomes builders with open arms.
Hyperliquid
A couple reflections on the quantum computing breakthrough we just announced...
Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed.
After a nearly 20 year pursuit, we’ve created an entirely new state of matter, unlocked by a new class of materials, topoconductors, that enable a fundamental leap in computing.
It powers Majorana 1, the first quantum processing unit built on a topological core.
We believe this breakthrough will allow us to create a truly meaningful quantum computer not in decades, as some have predicted, but in years.
The qubits created with topoconductors are faster, more reliable, and smaller.
They are 1/100th of a millimeter, meaning we now have a clear path to a million-qubit processor.
Imagine a chip that can fit in the palm of your hand yet is capable of solving problems that even all the computers on Earth today combined could not!
Sometimes researchers have to work on things for decades to make progress possible.
It takes patience and persistence to have big impact in the world.
And I am glad we get the opportunity to do just that at Microsoft.
This is our focus: When productivity rises, economies grow faster, benefiting every sector and every corner of the globe.
It’s not about hyping tech; it’s about building technology that truly serves the world.
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.
Excited to see Unit protocol hit mainnet! For the first time, users can trade native assets from another chain using the seamless UX of Hyperliquid.
BTC is the most important crypto asset and historically the most difficult to bring to defi. Most wrapped BTC options today involve a single custodian, contradicting the ethos of defi.
Unit protocol's guardian architecture is a generalized solution bringing self-custody to a wide range of asset sources. When a user deposits, trades, and withdraws BTC using Unit and Hyperliquid, they maintain full control of their assets at all times.
Like Hyperliquid, Unit abstracts away the underlying technological complexity from the end user. Send BTC to an address, and it's ready for trading. Finally a BTC trading solution Satoshi would approve of: trustless and self-custodial, without sacrificing user experience.
Unit's launch brings Hyperliquid one step closer to housing all finance. It will be exciting to see Hyperliquid's world class liquidity and UX extend to many more important financial assets.
Introducing Unit: the decentralized asset tokenization layer for all of finance, built exclusively on Hyperliquid.
Unit will enable seamless deposits, withdrawals, and trading for a wide variety of assets. Our first integration allows major spot crypto tokens to flow between Hyperliquid and their native blockchains, launching today with native BTC.
This is a significant unlock for users, enabling:
1-Click Native Deposits & Withdrawals: Deposit or withdraw BTC via their self-custodial wallet or centralized exchange account. (ETH and SOL coming soon).
Unified Trading Experience: Trade both spot and derivatives within a single, integrated platform.
New Capital Onramps: Send spot from any supported native source chain and sell in the spot order book to access USDC.
Deposit BTC now directly on https://t.co/uJWeiSIeWH or at https://t.co/Rg4Ub2tADZ.
