Staking is now live on mainnet. Staking is an important milestone for Hyperliquid because it allows the diverse community of HYPE stakers to collectively secure the network. Like other proof of stake networks, new blocks on Hyperliquid are proposed by validators in proportion to the HYPE staked to them. Staking is a serious responsibility for the Hyperliquid community. Users can stake HYPE to a trusted validator and earn staking rewards in HYPE. Users may consider different metrics when choosing which validators to stake to, such as uptime, commission, reputation, and community contributions. The Hyper Foundation will have a Delegation Program to support high-performing validators and further decentralise the network. More information about the program will be announced. Note that locked tokens may be staked, but their rewards are locked.
