PANews reported on January 8 that Hyperliquid stated on platform X that the community plays a key role in the development of the ecosystem, and its feedback is highly valued. Recently, there have been some misunderstandings regarding validators. To clarify: ① All validators are qualified based on their performance on the testnet and cannot acquire seats through purchase; the related false statements undermine the efforts of those who invest time and energy to understand the system; as blockchain matures, the validator pool will gradually expand. ② As previously announced, a foundation delegation program will be launched to support high-performing validators and further decentralize the network. ③ Anyone can run an API server pointing to any node; example client code sends requests to specific API servers, but this is not a fundamental requirement of the network. ④ Yes, it is unacceptable for users to attempt to create a black market for the testnet HYPE; this has been stated multiple times; we will continue to work on improving the onboarding process for the testnet. ⑤ Yes, the node code is currently closed-source; open source is important, and the project will become open-source once it reaches a stable development phase; Hyperliquid's development speed is several orders of magnitude faster than most projects, and its scope is also several orders of magnitude larger than most projects; the code will be open-sourced under safe conditions. ⑥ Yes, there is currently only one binary file. Even for a mature network like Solana, the vast majority of validators run a single client.
Earlier today, a user reached out to the Hyperliquid Core team pointing out several issues in its management.
