Hyper Foundation Prepares to Launch HYPE Token for Enhanced Blockchain Services
The Hyper Foundation is gearing up to launch its native token, HYPE, which is essential for establishing proof-of-stake consensus on the Hyperliquid blockchain and introducing an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to its mainnet.
Hyperliquid’s flagship product, a decentralized perpetual trading platform, leads the market with over $1 billion in daily trading volume and more than 200,000 users. The upcoming HyperEVM will enhance access to liquidity and trading tools.
The foundation stated that the new token is crucial for developing the HyperBFT proof-of-stake consensus and advancing its roadmap, which includes initiatives like spot trading and permissionless liquidity. Notably, LayerZero’s ZRO was the first perpetual trade on Hyperliquid in September 2023.
With a promise of trades finalizing in under a second, Hyperliquid also recently introduced builder codes, enabling developers to monetize their applications.

Participants can register for the initial token distribution until November 11, with the airdrop date to be revealed on November 29. Additionally, users may opt for a commemorative Hypurr non-fungible token (NFT) to celebrate the HyperEVM launch.
