HYPE token to launch on November 29
HYPE will be the main asset for staking and securing the HyperBFT consensus mechanism following the launch on Nov. 29. This will enable the project to become decentralized. As a result, the token will be vital to the native spot and perpetual decentralized exchange of the platform, where it will be traded on the native spot order book against USDC. Additionally, it will function as the HyperEVM, the network's execution environment's native gas token.
HyperBFT, an optimized proof-of-stake consensus algorithm, is used by Hyperliquid, an app chain, to provide high throughput and almost instantaneous finality time.
Genesis distribution of HYPE to become a major milestone for HyperlIquid
Hyper Foundation wrote in a post on X that currently, Hyperliquid is the largest decentralized exchange in terms of volume, open interest, and active users. Liquidity is comparable to the leading centralized exchanges. The user interface connects the self-custodial principles of a fully on-chain DEX with the smooth trading on CEXs. With technological advancements required to bring all finance on-chain without sacrificing anything, Hyperliquid represents the ethos of cryptocurrency and decentralized finance.
HyperLiquid community airdrop
Users who have earned reward points on the platform will receive a community airdrop in conjunction with the genesis event. This is a significant milestone for the project, which for the past year has become one of the largest decentralized trading platforms in terms of volume but has up until now operated without a native token.
No token allocation for private investors or market makers
One billion tokens will be the maximum quantity of its native token, HYPE. As part of the airdrop for the genesis event, eligible users will receive 31.0% (310 million) of the tokens, all of which will be fully unlocked at the event. 388 million tokens, or 38.8% of the total, are set aside for community rewards and future emissions. Furthermore, 238 million tokens, or 23.8% of the total, are reserved for present and future core contributors. A one-year lock-up period will apply to these tokens after the genesis event.
To support its operating budget, the Hyper Foundation will receive 60 million tokens, or 6.0%. The project confirmed that there are "no allocations for private investors, centralized exchanges, or market makers," underscoring its emphasis on creating a network that is entirely owned by the community.
The new token is a starting point to proof-of-stake consensus and the introduction of an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) on the mainnet of the layer-1 blockchain.
