Today we’re expanding our support for @HyperliquidX by becoming the platform’s official treasury deployer of USDC.
Onchain markets operate 24/7 and require collateral that is always available, instantly transferable, and deeply liquid - USDC delivers exactly that.
Alongside this, we’ve also significantly increased our position of staked HYPE.
Coinbase has announced its plan to activate AQAv2 on USDC as the treasury deployer, with Circle serving as the technical deployer responsible for CCTP and native cross-chain infrastructure. Both Coinbase and Circle have committed to stake HYPE to activate AQAv2. As part of this transition, Native Markets has agreed to terms granting Coinbase the right to purchase the USDH brand assets. With Coinbase, in its role as treasury deployer, sharing the vast majority of reserve yield revenue with the protocol, USDC will become the most aligned stablecoin on Hyperliquid. As a result, canonical outcome (HIP-4) markets will use USDC as the quote asset in a future network upgrade.
User and builder feedback has been consistent that fragmentation leads to degraded experience; now, the community no longer needs to choose between liquidity and protocol alignment.
The pioneering work of Native Markets in launching USDH as the first production-scale stablecoin sharing yield directly with a protocol in a purely onchain implementation made AQAv2 possible. The learnings and mechanics pioneered by USDH will live on in AQAv2.
The Hyper Foundation will give grants to eligible HIP-3 deployers, HIP-1 deployers, and builders who integrated USDH, supporting teams through migration over the next months. These grants reflect an ongoing commitment to teams who choose to build on Hyperliquid and align with the protocol. USDH markets are fully functional but will sunset over time. USDH remains fully backed, with feeless conversions to USDC and fiat available to users during this transition.
Happy NY 🥂
Yesterday’s @lavanetxyz AMA takeaway:
we’re done building the foundations- time for scaling.
North star: be the best RPC + make Always Up layer measurable (latency, errors, availability).
5 strategic streams working together → better routing, better governance, real adoption and more.
Huge thanks @Cryptocito, Nimo and @brevsin (@tribecap lead investor) for the trust.
2026: buckle up. 🌋
Exactly four years ago, @xgilxgil and I walked through the @solana Breakpoint gates- our first real step into crypto.
We’d been months down the rabbit hole already, but that moment felt like entering a world full of possibility… and responsibility.
Our mission then was simple:
Abstract the invisible RPC layer of blockchains.
Make on-chain access reliable, even when the world goes offline. That started as @lavanetxyz .
Today, that mission matters more than ever.
Regulatory clarity, trillions of $$ are moving on-chain, yet major infra providers still face outages. We’ve seen what happens when @awscloud, @Cloudflare, and others go down -the traditional internet(@X , @LinkedIn, @ChatGPTapp, @Visa /@Mastercard ) stops.
Finance cannot afford that.
This year we worked with partners like @FireblocksHQ, @krakenfx , @MIT to build the Always-Up Reliability Layer for the on-chain economy. This unified protocol keeps users online even when individual providers fail.
Lava Network is the TCP/IP moment for blockchain
resilience.
As 2025 comes to a close, Lava Network became available on venues including @binance, @krakenfx, and @Bybit_Official, supporting developers, providers, and users interacting with the Lava protocol.
As 2026 approaches, I will be focusing more on education and adoption while working with the Lava community and its early contributors in @magmadevs.
Join our Community AMA later today, https://t.co/aJOmVqIzL4, I will be discussing the proposed 2026 roadmap and updates we’ve been quietly building.
Proud to be part of this community. 🌋

The best spaces are those where you can simultaneously zoom out and zoom in.
Thanks to Diederick from @HouseofChimera for hosting one of the most grounded, high-signal X Spaces I’ve been a part of recently.
We covered a lot:
- How we’re building @lavanetxyz to become the invisible access layer for all chains out there
- What it means when enterprises like @FireblocksHQ - 2,400+ customers and $10T+ in volume - use our Smart Router as part of their core infra
- Why Lava started with a basic idea: every RPC fails eventually, but the network shouldn’t
- And how recent conversations with @MIT will help frame the future of intent-driven AI agents and decentralised trust layers
150B+ RPC requests later, we’re still building like it’s day one … with open standards, performance-based routing, and the belief that developers shouldn’t have to think about infra to build something world-class.
The next cycle of programmable money and its infra won’t be won by speed alone. It’ll be won by resilience, interoperability, and abstraction.
Thanks again to everyone who tuned in. Let’s keep building systems that disappear … but don’t fail.

proud moment for Lava to contribute to Hedera’s growth by providing Public RPC through the Lava Pools.
Onchain technology is entering its prime, and networks like Hedera are at the forefront of enterprise adoption and rapid innovation.
Pleased to announce the continuation of the Lava x Movement infrastructure partnership.
@moveindustries’s Lava Pool delivers scalable, resilient Public RPC, powering builders, users & the Movement ecosystem with reliable connectivity.
Backed by Lava’s providers, community-driven reliability. 🌐⚡
