PANews reported on March 4 that Hyper Foundation announced on the X platform that the validator set of the Hyperliquid mainnet will be fully licensed after the next network upgrade. The same as the testnet mechanism, the top N validators ranked by stake will form the active set. The initial N value is set to 20, which will gradually increase in the future. At the same time, the official launched the Delegation Program, which aims to enhance network security and decentralization and support validators who are committed to the development of the Hyperliquid ecosystem in the long term. Technically, validators need to understand the testnet operation mechanism and note that the lock-up period for the self-delegated stake of 10,000 HYPE is one year, and it cannot be unlocked in advance even if it is not selected in the active set.
