Spot trading with multiple quote assets is live on testnet. The currently available quote assets are USDT and USDZZ (a testnet-only test token). Any feedback is greatly appreciated. The current focus is on the technology. A later announcement will be made around the requirements for becoming a quote asset.

The CoreWriter system contract will be enabled on the next mainnet network upgrade. As a reminder, any testnet bugs related to the CoreWriter are eligible for mainnet level bug bounties: https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/bug-bounty-program

HyperBFT is undergoing consistent improvement over time to further decentralise the network without sacrificing performance. In approximately one month, the active validator set will increase from 21 to 24 validators. Note that the validator set will remain permissionless, as it currently is.

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.

Phantom added perps trading to their wallet by using Hyperliquid as their liquidity layer. They are able to monetize permissionlessly through builder codes.

By community request, Hyperliquid has listed PUMP-USD hyperps. You can now long or short the unlaunched $PUMP token with up to 3x leverage.

As a reminder, hyperps do not rely on any external data for the oracle price. Hyperps trade like perpetual contracts that users are familiar with, but do not require an external spot or index oracle price. Instead, the funding rate is determined relative to a moving average of the hyperp mark price.

Trading is on low leverage and isolated margin only. Beware of low liquidity, high volatility, potentially extreme funding, and increased liquidation risk. Note: $PUMP-USD will convert to a vanilla perp upon CEX spot listing. See Docs for more.

$PUMP-USD is a hyperp contract that poses higher than normal risk. Do not trade contracts you are unfamiliar with and do not understand the risks for. Read the Docs to learn more about the hyperp mechanism. NFA.

https://app.hyperliquid.xyz/trade/PUMP

Hyperliquid reached a new all-time high of >$10.6B in open interest.

Hyperliquid hit a new OI ATH two days in a row. This time of >$11.3B.

The PUMP hyperp has converted to a regular perp. You can now long or short $PUMP with up to 5x leverage.

Listing is not an endorsement of the project. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Do not trade assets you are unfamiliar with and do not understand the risks for. Exercise control. NFA.

Based on extensive user and builder feedback, the staking referral program is being re-evaluated to ensure fairness for all builders and a healthy builder ecosystem. In its current formulation, there is a risk that some builders sharing back fees to users will create pressure for other builders to do the same to remain competitive. This would be a dangerous precedent that sets an effective requirement of staking in order to compete as an application. Permissionless systems must be designed thoughtfully as there is no central authority to prevent extractive behavior.

Thank you to all users that have raised these concerns. At this time, there is no definitive implementation ready for mainnet. Additional feedback is appreciated around designing a robust solution.

Last week, Hyperliquid was the first major venue to offer PUMP prelaunch trading. It became the main platform for price discovery leading up to PUMP’s highly anticipated TGE, with over $400M in open interest and $600M in 24h volume as a prelaunch perp.

Following TGE, Hyperliquid was also the first major venue to offer spot trading of PUMP through Unit. It remains one of the most liquid venues to trade PUMP spot.

Hyperliquid continues to support the movement of capital formation and price discovery onchain. This trend is reflected in four consecutive days of open interest all-time highs. Today’s OI reached $12.1B.

Open interest has reached new all-time highs seven days in a row. Today's OI record was $13.8B.

Fees also continue to grow, with a new ATH in 24h fees of $6M.

The CoreWriter system contract was activated on mainnet two weeks ago.

CoreWriter and read precompiles allow trustless two-way communication between HyperCore and the HyperEVM, enabling builders to create an entirely new class of HyperEVM applications that interact with the liquidity and performance of HyperCore.

For example, LSTs on other chains are usually controlled by an offchain multi-sig because staking occurs outside of the VM. The next generation of Hyperliquid LSTs can be built using read precompiles and CoreWriter for an entirely onchain tokenized staking experience. Furthermore, these onchain LSTs can participate in staking-related functionality through actions initiated from the HyperEVM, such as onchain LST-holder governance to deploy HIP-3 assets.

As another example, borrow lend protocols can use read precompiles to incorporate prices from order books on HyperCore into more robust oracle prices. CoreWriter then allows these protocols to trustlessly liquidate undercollateralized positions on HyperCore order books.

The seamless composability of HyperCore and the HyperEVM will be essential to enabling builders and bringing finance onchain.

Open interest continues to reach new all-time highs, surpassing $14.7B.

Yesterday, the API servers experienced a significant spike in traffic, leading to order delays from approximately 14:10-14:47 UTC. The past weeks have seen back-to-back-to-back all-time highs in open interest as well as record highs in protocol revenue. While growing pains are challenging, they are a testament to Hyperliquid's momentum.

To be clear, there was no hack or exploit. The blockchain, consensus, and HyperEVM were unaffected. Blocks were produced at the usual rate despite congestion on the API servers.

The API returned error responses despite transactions being sent to the mempool and later included in blocks. This confused many users, and improvements are being rolled out to address this.

An update will be shared in the coming days once an appropriate refund methodology has been determined for users impacted by this particular issue. Refunds will be determined in an automated fashion; impacted users do not need to open a ticket at this time. Thank you to the community for their understanding as Hyperliquid continues to scale.
