It originated as a perpetual decentralized exchange (DEX) on Ethereum Layer 2 Arbitrum in February 2023.

Hyperliquid Points Program

A key driver of Hyperliquid’s success is its points season, running from May 29 to Q4.

The program allocates points weekly to users who trade and participate in the ecosystem.

Hyperliquid Spot Token Launches

The first spot token, $PURR, launched on April 16, has risen by 187%, reaching a market capitalization of $120 million.

Holders of $PURR receive airdrops of other spot tokens and earn more points by holding their tokens.

Spot tokens like $HFUN and $JEFF have increased by over 10x their launch price.

Early users holding $PURR have benefited significantly from these price surges.
