PANews December 30 news, the Hyper Foundation stated on platform X: "Staking is now live on the mainnet. Staking is an important milestone for Hyperliquid as it allows a diverse community of HYPE stakers to collectively secure the network. Like other proof-of-stake networks, new blocks on Hyperliquid are proposed by validators in proportion to the amount of HYPE staked to them. Staking is an important responsibility of the Hyperliquid community."
Users can stake HYPE to trusted validators and earn HYP staking rewards. Users may consider different metrics when choosing which validator to stake with, such as uptime, commission, reputation, and community contributions.
The Hyper Foundation will have a delegation program to support high-performance validators and further decentralize the network. More information about this program will be announced separately. Please note that locked tokens can be staked, but their rewards are locked."
