ChainCatcher message, Hyperliquid clarifies misunderstandings in the community regarding the validator mechanism. The project team stated that all validators are qualified based on their performance in the testnet, and the notion of 'buying a seat' is inaccurate, which is unfair to validators who are seriously invested. As the network develops, the pool of validators will gradually expand, and the foundation's delegation program will support high-performing validators to promote network decentralization.

Additionally, anyone can run an API server pointing to any node, and the black market trading behavior on the testnet HYPE is unacceptable. The project team will continue to optimize the user experience. The current node code is in a closed-source state, but it will be open-sourced after stability and security are ensured in the future. Hyperliquid promises to iterate at a faster pace and will continue to listen to community feedback.
