Hyperliquid may have just responded to what it says is a mere “misunderstanding” on the part of its community members in relation to the growing concerns about its validator mechanism.
To address the situation, the firm has now put up a comprehensive post on X in hopes of clearing the misconceptions and also reassuring them of its commitment to transparency and decentralization.
In the post, Hyperliquid first reminded its community that it is well aware of the role they have played in the growth of its ecosystem. The firm says this is why it takes all feedback seriously.
To further douse the tension, Hyperliquid shed light on several specific points beginning with the validator qualification process. According to the company, all validators qualified based on their testnet performance.
The firm went further to deny claims that validators could buy seats at the table. They said these allegations are not only untrue but also undermine the hard work of those who took their time to understand the system.
Hyperliquid also seized the opportunity to announce a Foundation Delegation Program. This program, according to the firm’s calculations, promotes decentralization on the network by rewarding high-performing validators.
API accessibility is another area that Hyperliquid touched on in its recent explanation post. The network dispelled rumors that only select entities have access to run an API server pointing at any node, claiming that anyone can.
Addressing reports of users attempting to create a black market for testnet HYPE, the company noted that it stands firmly against such activities. To this end, it pledged to improve the onboarding process for testnet participants.
The other grievances being expressed in Hyperliquid’s community border include its closed-source node code and its single-binary system. However, Hyperliquid assures that while work is ongoing, seeing as open-sourcing is important, its current single-binary system is not unique in the blockchain space. It even compared itself to mature networks like Solana, which also rely on a single client for most validators.
Hyperliquid remains keen on its longtime goal of bringing all finance on-chain. However, it believes that it can only achieve this if its community continues to trust the project and is well-informed about the ecosystem.
Looking ahead, the firm will continue to address community concerns as the need arises so as to maintain the foundation of trust it has with its community members and make room for good growth and development.
