The onchain delisting of MYRO perps took place smoothly. The vote completed onchain as soon as quorum was reached at 13:16 UTC, which happened when the 13th validator cast its vote. Hyper Foundation 1 and 3 did not vote.

You can see the explorer transactions for the onchain votes. Here is an example for Nansen x HypurrCollective’s vote to delist, which led to quorum being reached: https://app.hyperliquid.xyz/explorer/tx/0xf4d5e0ded45c40abbbd7042080ab1e01c2006434c5f188b1a14ee473c3fc8dd5

Biweekly update

Product
+ ETH spot trading, deposits, and withdrawals are now live, thanks to Unit. You can trade spot ETH here: https://app.hyperliquid.xyz/trade/0xe1edd30daaf5caac3fe63569e24748da
+ Staking tiers determined by the amount of HYPE staked will go live on or after April 30. The initial benefit of staking tiers is reduced trading fees.
+ Misc UI improvements, e.g., added Transfer to EVM button to linked spot assets on the Balances table, tidied up Funding Comparison table

Trading
+ NIL perps were listed; JELLY and MYRO were delisted

Validators
+ The Hyperliquid blockchain has been upgraded to feature fully onchain validator voting for asset delisting. Many validators suggested having discussions happen in a public forum. While token-gated discussions are being considered (e.g., permission to post based on staked HYPE), a Discord channel #governance has been created as a temporary solution. To limit spam in the short-term, only validators and their nominated users can post, but all server members can view and react to discussion. The first topic being discussed is delisting methodology and initial assets to delist. The goal here is to reach offchain consensus transparently on which assets to delist, followed by an onchain vote.

EVM Updates
+ HyperCore and HyperEVM linking is live on mainnet. HyperCore spot assets are available as building blocks for applications on HyperEVM, and HyperEVM builders have a permissionless path to listing on the same liquid and performant order books that power billions of volume per day on HyperCore.

The validator set has been updated to 21 permissionless nodes. Anyone can register a validator, and the 21 largest by stake form the active set. The Delegation Program is expected to go live shortly.

Technical details for validators: Validators are encouraged to carefully understand the technology and familiarise themselves with testnet before proceeding with mainnet. Note that the self-delegation of 10k HYPE is locked by the protocol for one year. This lockup applies even if a validator is not part of the active set and should be carefully considered before committing the stake. It is strongly recommended to review and apply for the Delegation Program before running a mainnet validator: https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/validators/delegation-program.

The new fee system and staking tiers will go live on Monday, May 5 at approximately 03:00 UTC.

To recap, changes include:
+ Staking HYPE lowers trading fees
+ Separate fee schedules for perps vs spot
+ Spot volume counts double toward your fee tier

Staking and trading account linking is now available on testnet. This allows users to apply the staking discounts from one account to a different trading account. This is expected to go live shortly after the new fee system and staking tiers.

For more details on fee changes as well as staking account linking, see the Docs: https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/trading/fees#staking-linking

Biweekly update

Trading
+ As a reminder, the new fee system and staking tiers will go live on May 5 at approximately 03:00 UTC. Staking and trading account linking is live on testnet. This allows users to apply the staking discounts from one account to a different trading account and is expected to go live on mainnet shortly after the new fee system and staking tiers.

+ HLP has a fourth component vault to split liquidations among two child vaults, as part of the learnings from JELLY. The illiquid asset liquidator has a stricter tolerance before ADL is triggered.
+ HYPER, ZORA, and INIT perps were listed

Product
+ UI redesign was released. There are some outstanding items to clean up. Appreciate your patience in the meantime and thank you to everyone who caught bugs in the new UI while it was on testnet.

Validators
+ The validator set was updated to 21 permissionless nodes. Anyone can register a validator, and the 21 largest by stake form the active set. The Delegation Program has been gradually rolling out.

EVM Updates
+ Read precompiles are live on the mainnet HyperEVM and allow builders to read state from HyperCore atomically from smart contracts on the HyperEVM. For example, lending protocols could use HyperCore oracle and mark prices as a reliable source of pricing information.
+ For spot assets linked on the HyperEVM, you can click the wallet icon next to the token on the info bar or Balances table to add it to your wallet extension. Clicking on the wallet icon for HYPE will add the HyperEVM as a custom network to your wallet extension. Note that this should work on Rabby and MetaMask, but not reliably on all wallet extensions.

Testnet only: The Hyperliquid protocol will support builder-deployed perps (HIP-3), a key milestone toward fully decentralizing the perp listing process. An MVP of this feature is live on testnet. Feedback is appreciated during this testing phase. Note that numbers and specifications below are not finalized.

Builder-deployed perps share many features with HyperCore spot deployments:
+ Deployments allocate new performant onchain orderbooks on HyperCore.
+ Deployment gas is paid through a Dutch auction every 31 hours. A difference is that HYPE is the gas token used for perp deployments.
+ Deployers can set a fee share of up to 50%. A difference is that the deployer can configure additional fees on top of the base fee rate. Fee share applies to the total configured fee.
+ Deployments are fully permissionless.

The deployer of a perp market is also responsible for
+ Market definition, including the oracle definition and contract specifications
+ Market operation, including setting oracle prices, leverage limits, and settling the market if needed

Perp deployment composes with HyperCore multisig to support protocolized market deployment and operation.

To ensure high quality markets and protect users, deployers must maintain 1M staked HYPE. In the event of malicious market operation, validators have the authority to slash the deployer’s stake by conducting a stake-weighted vote during the deployer’s 7-day unstaking queue.

Technical details will be released shortly in the API docs and Python SDK. Users with more than 10k mainnet staked HYPE or previous bug bounty program recipients are welcome to reach out for a dedicated testnet deployment to test and share feedback.

Note that the frontends at app.hyperliquid-testnet.xyz and app.hyperliquid.xyz will not display builder-deployed perps initially, and will not feature a UI for perp deployment. Alternative interfaces may be built by the community. This will encourage specialization and further decentralization of the interfaces to access the Hyperliquid protocol.

Staking and trading account linking is now on mainnet. This allows users to apply the staking discounts from one account to a different trading account. As a reminder, the new fee schedule and staking discounts will take affect at approximately May 5 3:00 UTC.

IMPORTANT: Please test staking and trading account linking on testnet first before proceeding on mainnet. Staking links are permanent and cannot be reverted. Do not try this for the first time on mainnet. If you don't see the "Link Staking" button on https://app.hyperliquid.xyz/portfolio, try a hard refresh.

Trading fees are assessed onchain at the end of each day in UTC. If you would like your staking discount to take affect with the new fee schedule at May 5 3:00 UTC, make sure to stake beforehand.

For details, see the Docs: https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/trading/fees#staking-linking
