Hyperliquid responds to multiple issues raised by the community

ChainCatcher news, Hyperliquid posted on X, stating that in response to recent misunderstandings in the community regarding the validator mechanism, the project team made the following clarifications:

• All validators are qualified based on their performance in the testnet; the claim of "buying a seat" is not true, and the related accusations are unfair to the validators who are seriously committed. As the network develops, the validator pool will gradually expand;
• The previously announced foundation delegation program will support high-performing validators, further achieving network decentralization;
• Anyone can run an API server pointing to any node; although the example client code sends requests to a specific API server, this is not a fundamental requirement of the network;
• The black market trading behavior on the testnet HYPE is unacceptable, and the project team will continue to optimize the user experience on the testnet;
• The current node code is in a closed-source state, and it will be open-sourced in the future after development is stable and secure;
• Currently, there is only one binary file; even for mature networks like Solana, most validators run a single client.

Hyperliquid stated that the project will iterate at a faster pace and larger scale, and will continue to listen to community feedback and improve the ecosystem in the future.
