Hyperliquid’s founder, Jeff Yan, has refuted revenue-focused FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) allegations regarding the platform’s ADL system. While recent events have sparked market volatility and scrutiny on DeFi transparency, Yan highlighted the benefits of Hyperliquid’s protocol for users, emphasizing its focus on maximizing profits while minimizing risks. This response contrasts with the historical opacity often observed in centralized exchanges and underscores the growing debate surrounding user benefits versus revenue models within the crypto sector. Notably, a high-profile incident involving substantial liquidations related to Hyperliquid led to discussions about transparency within DeFi. 19 billion dollars was lost during this event, with Hyperliquid’s platform alone accounting for 10.3 billion dollars of losses. This reflects the ongoing tension between prioritizing user profitability and financial considerations in the realm of decentralized finance.
