Hyperliquied operates on a layer-1 blockchain with a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, designed to handle up to 200,000 transitions per second. The HYPE token is central to its ecosystem, serving both as the staking asset for consensus as the gas token for Hyperliquied’s Ethereum-compatible layer, HyperEVM. 
The protocol allocated 31% of its 1 billion HYPE tokens during the genesis airdrop. The remaining tokens are set aside for the future community reward of 23.8% under a one-year lock, with vesting periods lasting until 2028. 
Notably, Hyperliquied did not allocate tokens to private investors or centralized exchanges. Hyperliquied’s airdrop joins other historic Defi giveaways like Uniswap’s 2022 drop and Arbitum’s 2023 distribution, further showing the potential of airdrop to drive community engagement. 
Airdrop has become a powerful tool in the crypto world, with over $26.6 billion in tokens distributed in recent years. With HYPE’s impressive growth, Hyperliquied has solidified impressive growth, and Hyperliquied has solidified its place as a top player in the Defi space.
