Base is beginning to explore a network token
We’re in the early phases of exploration, and don’t have any specifics to share around timing, design, or governance. We’re committed to bringing the community along with us, and building in the open.
We're thrilled to announce our $2.6M Strategic Round led by @dragonflyvc!
Along with our previous round co-led by Dragonfly and @polychain, we've now raised over $6M to build the future of decentralized stablecoins
Ethena and Hyperliquid were epic airdrops no doubt but most of you don’t know the true goat drop was XRP.
Circa 2013 ; ripple was trying to figure out how to get distribution out there so they’d do random Facebook posts and all you had to do was post xrp wallet addy and they’d drop you like 50k tokens or something. And you could just keep spamming, was crazy as f
The genesis event for HYPE will occur at 07:30 UTC on November 29.
Hyperliquid has grown to include the largest decentralised exchange by volume, open interest, and active users. Liquidity rivals the top centralised exchanges. The user experience bridges the seamless trading on CEXs with the self-custodial ideals of a fully onchain DEX. Hyperliquid represents the ethos of crypto and decentralised finance, with the technical innovations needed to bring all finance onchain without sacrifices.
While Hyperliquid has come a long way, there is much further to go. Over the past year, the scope of Hyperliquid has expanded from a DEX to a full financial system.
1. At its base, Hyperliquid is a performant, modern L1. Powered by HyperBFT, a highly optimised proof of stake consensus algorithm, disparate nodes can achieve consensus at 200k transactions per second with ~0.2 second time to finality. As the native token, HYPE will be the staked asset securing HyperBFT.
2. The perpetuals and spot DEX are examples of native components built into Hyperliquid. These components are optimised high-throughput financial primitives with which users and smart contracts can interact. For example, HYPE/USDC will be traded on the native spot order book.
3. The HyperEVM will bring full programmability to native components and general-purpose onchain state alike. HYPE will be the gas token of the HyperEVM.
4. The community includes an ever-growing set of passionate and talented builders. Hyperliquid will serve as the infrastructure layer for the next generation of trustless and performant finance built by the community. Unlike other chains, Hyperliquid features onchain monetization for user applications that is built directly into the protocol. As the native asset of the protocol, HYPE will be a crucial building block for defi applications.
The HYPE genesis event marks a key milestone in the journey, unlocking core functionality at every level of the stack.
