PANews reported on January 19 that Hyperliquid published a statement on the X platform stating that in accordance with the mission of safely preserving value on the chain and supporting the Hyperliquid community, the assistance fund will begin to hold a variety of native assets on Hyperliquid. The selection criteria include fair initial distribution, decentralized ownership, Hyperliquid-first native deployment, and positive impact on the Hyperliquid community.

Of the eligible assets, the Hyper Foundation will initially decide on inclusion and relative representation. Governance will take over this responsibility over time. The pilot asset joining the Assistance Fund is PURR. The Assistance Fund will initially hold 3 million PURR, approximately 0.5% of the total supply at the time of inclusion.
