Hyperliquid announces token distribution strategy: Putting early users at the center

Hyperliquid has just announced the overall plan for initial token allocation, prioritizing the first users above all. Founder Jeff states that a truly financial exchange must be built on a foundation of fairness and transparency, therefore Hyperliquid refuses private investments and does not give tokens to market makers or any organizations.

Distribution model following Bitcoin principles

Hyperliquid’s token distribution strategy is directly inspired by Bitcoin’s decentralized philosophy. The entire initial token supply is dedicated to the early user community rather than private investors or founding members. This ensures that those who participate from the early stages will receive fair benefits, aligning with the spirit of “get cookie token” — meaning early users receive deserved rewards from the project’s development.

Complete on-chain transparency

A standout feature of Hyperliquid is that the entire token distribution process can be publicly verified on the blockchain. There are no hidden manipulations or obfuscations; every step is transparent and verifiable. This approach completely eliminates the need to trust promises, relying instead on cryptographic proof.

Jeff emphasizes that integrity and neutrality are core values of Hyperliquid. By not attracting private investors or charging protocol fees from any company, Hyperliquid maintains an independent position as a truly trustworthy financial hub.
