Hyperliquid’s vision is to create a fair new financial system for all. All users are important, no matter their volume or account value.

Real users receive fewer points when large-scale sybil farms try to game the system to receive more than their fair share. Investigation by different research teams identified that over 27,000 addresses operated by approximately 100 individuals attempted to receive disproportionately more points through large-scale and systematic inorganic behavior. These addresses’ points were multiplied by 2% or 20% based on the scale of sybil activity. Affected addresses include a line on the Points page saying, “Sybil behavior detected.” The end result is a larger fraction of points going to real users.

In addition, 8M points were distributed for activity in May and 8.4M points for activity in October and early November. In sum, the final number of points is 57.9M.

Biweekly update

Tech
+ As posted in API Announcements, API keys (both named and unnamed agents) will no longer work after their deadline. When a key expires, it is highly recommended to generate a new key, as the nonce tracking information for expired agents are eventually pruned from the L1 state. Note that legacy API keys created before deadlines were implemented will expire on Dec 14.
+ As a reminder, the validator set is permissionless on testnet. There is a self-delegation requirement of 10k HYPE to register a new validator and be eligible for the active set. The top N validators by total delegated stake form the active set. Currently N=50 on testnet.

Another day, another ATH. Hyperliquid reached a new all-time high in 24h volume of >$15B.

Max leverage has been updated for various assets. Increases in max leverage reflect improved liquidity. Decreases in max leverage ensure platform stability during extreme volatility.

Note that max leverage decreases do not affect the liquidation price of open positions until they are modified. To reduce positions that exceed initial margin requirements under the new max leverage, use reduce-only orders. The first non-reduce-only order that modifies a position will subject it to the new max leverage and maintenance margin requirements. As a reminder, maintenance margin is half of the initial margin at max leverage. E.g., if max leverage is 20x, the maintenance margin is 2.5%.
