1 min. readHyperliquid, a decentralized perpetuals exchange, is defying the norm by launching its native token without relying on venture capital. The Hyper Foundation, overseeing development, announced a token generation event scheduled for early Friday, along with an airdrop. The exchange has evolved into a comprehensive financial system, boasting liquidity comparable to top exchanges. In October, Hyperliquid outperformed competitors, achieving a record $1.39 billion in daily trading volume. The HYPE genesis event signifies a significant milestone, unlocking core functionalities across the platform. With a projected valuation of $3 billion, the 310 million HYPE tokens allocated for the community airdrop could be valued at nearly $1 billion. The HYPE token will seamlessly integrate into Hyperliquid's operations, offering staking, transaction fee functionalities, and USDC trading pairs. Hyperliquid operates on a high-speed trading blockchain using HyperBFT, a proof-of-stake system ensuring instant transactions and network security. The exchange, ranked as the top decentralized exchange for derivatives, emphasizes a community-first approach by excluding private investors and market makers from token allocations.
