PANews reported on January 8 that Hyperliquid stated on the X platform that the community has played a key role in the development of the ecosystem and its feedback has been highly valued. Recently, there have been some misunderstandings about validators. Hereby clarify: ① All validators are qualified based on testnet performance and cannot obtain seats through purchase; related false statements belittle the efforts of validators who have invested time and energy to understand the system; as the blockchain matures, the validator set 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; the sample client code sends requests to a specific API server, but this is not a basic requirement of the network. ④ Yes, it is unacceptable for users to try to create a black market for the testnet HYPE; this has been stated many times; we will continue to work hard to improve the testnet entry process. ⑤Yes, the node code is currently closed source; open source is important, and the project will be open source after development enters a stable state; 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 source when it is safe. ⑥Yes, there is only one binary file at present. Even for a very mature network like Solana, the vast majority of validators run a single client.
