HIP-5: Staker Governed Assistance Fund (AF-2)
This HIP proposes allocating up to 5% of protocol trading fees to a new Assistance Fund (AF-2) governed directly by HYPE stakers.
AF-2 extends the current buyback model (AF-1) by introducing real-time, on-chain voting that allows stakers to direct part of the fees toward Strict List tokens (e.g., HYPE, PURR, HFUN).
This mechanism supports ecosystem growth while maintaining HYPE’s deflationary structure and attracts new builders.
The proposal includes a detailed empirical simulation analyzing market impact, liquidity effects, and risk mitigation measures such as LSD governance safeguards and TWAP execution design.

Feedback, questions and governance discussion are welcome.
major narrative violation:
hyperliquid ADL actually INCREASED PnL for the vast majority of shorts last week
many ppl are sour that ADL closed shorts right before prices nuked. but the data reveals that most ADL hit near the price bottom, locking in near-optimal profits
We are in talks with a few meme coins and willing to deploy a large amount of funds in order to let them grow faster and efficient. Stay tuned, more new coming
