Hyperliquid Community Discusses 45% Supply Burn Proposal

TheCryptoTimesPublicado em 2025-09-23Última atualização em 2025-09-23

Hyperliquid community is anticipating dramatic changes into the HYPE token economy, with the aim of reducing its total supply by over 45%. This proposal is co-authored by popular crypto evangelists Jon Charbonneau and Hasu, aiming to eliminate unminted allocations, burn inactive reserves, and get rid of the excessive token supply. 

The proposal addresses the issue of managing non-outstanding tokens, which can mess with valuation metrics and give investors a skewed view, ahead of incoming token unlocks. 

As per the article, HYPE has a total supply of 1 billion, with around 333.92 million tokens actually in circulation. On the other hand, more than 547 million tokens are still locked up in Future Emissions & Community Rewards (FECR) and the Assistance Fund (AF).

Breaking down the proposal

The proposed changes involve canceling over 421 million unminted FECR tokens, burning 31.3 million AF tokens, and removing the 1 billion cap. As a result, the supply will significantly decrease. However, there will still be room for controlled issuance to meet future demands. Authors claim that this adjustment addresses Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) inconsistencies that tend to deter potential buyers.

Hyperliquid’s FDV currently sits at $49 billion at present price, which also includes valuation of locked allocation. Given that those locked tokens are not in the market, the protocol’s actual valuation plummets to $16 billion. 

The proposal has gained significant buzz within the crypto community, with some giving support while some criticizing. Alpen from Comfy Capital backed the move, saying it “provides more clarity” and “fixes a broken FDV metric that is incorrect.” However, not everyone agrees. 

However, another X user argued that every $1 set on fire is $1 less for liquidity depth, spreads, BD, R&D, product expansion. “I just don’t get how burning money helps a business.” He stressed.

Token utility and fee mechanics

Hyperliquid’s HyperCore platform adds context to these changes. Nearly all trading fees, whether from perpetuals or spot markets, flow into buybacks or token burns. Moreover, HyperEVM charges transaction fees in HYPE, which are fully burned. The system is already focused on cutting down supply and boosting the long-term value of tokens.

The Full Story Behind Encryption Unicorn Blockstream's Deep Entanglement in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details allegations of serious fraud surrounding the crypto company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. Investigation account NatInfoSec accuses Blockstream of raising billions through its Blockstream Mining Note (BMN) products, which offer high fixed yields of up to 20% from purported mining revenue. The core allegations are: 1) Blockstream's public mining hash rate (15 EH/s) appears insufficient to cover the massive payout obligations from sold BMN notes, raising questions about the true source of investor payouts. 2) Key executive Christopher William Cook, central to the mining operations, has a prior federal conviction for mail fraud, a fact not disclosed to investors. Cook's background and lavish lifestyle are highlighted as red flags. 3) The structure allows payouts from any source of BTC, not necessarily mining revenue, which critics argue gives it Ponzi-like characteristics. The controversy also touches on Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a related entity planning a SPAC上市. Critics question whether BMN's liabilities and Cook's record should be disclosed in BSTR's filings. BitMEX Research offered a tempered analysis, confirming Cook's criminal record is likely true and the high yields concerning, but found other claims like insufficient抵押证据 less substantiated. Community debate centers on the need for verifiable proof of Blockstream's mining output and revenue. The article concludes that while fraud is not proven, BMN presents significant, unresolved questions regarding its actual scale, the source of its high fixed returns, the verifiability of its mining operations and payouts, and the full disclosure of associated risks and personnel backgrounds. Blockstream has not yet issued a formal response.

Crypto Lobby Pushes Congress To Keep Staking And Mining Tax Bill Intact

Crypto advocacy groups are urging U.S. lawmakers to pass the Tax Clarity for Mining and Staking Act (H.R. 9175) without changes. The bill seeks to clarify that rewards for proof-of-work miners and proof-of-stake validators are taxed only when the assets are sold, not immediately when received. This deferred tax treatment is crucial for operators' cash flow and profitability. The proposal faces opposition from banking interests, who argue it could give crypto yield products an unfair advantage over traditional savings. The outcome will impact network decentralization, as complex tax rules could push out smaller operators. The lobbying effort marks an expansion of crypto's policy focus beyond market structure into tax rules that underpin network economics. The bill's fate depends on whether Congress advances it as a standalone clarification or part of a broader digital-asset package.

Legacy Polygon Royalties Contract Exploit Drains $261K Through Reward Logic Flaw

A hacker exploited a legacy Polygon royalties contract, stealing approximately $261,200 in cryptocurrency. Security firm TenArmorAlert identified the attack on June 23. The exploit was made possible by a flaw in the contract's reward calculation logic within the Royal1155LD.beforeLdaTransfer() function. By executing several zero-value transactions, the attacker manipulated reward accounting and token ownership data, artificially inflating balances to enable excessive withdrawals. The attacker also utilized a flash loan to amplify the exploit's profit after repayment. This incident highlights ongoing security risks associated with older, inactive smart contracts that still hold funds, following similar recent exploits. Developers are urged to audit, update, or decommission such legacy deployments to prevent future attacks. The Polygon blockchain's core infrastructure was not compromised.

a16z: In the AI Era, Company Competition for Talent Starts with Job Title Naming

The article discusses how companies in the AI era are competing for talent through strategic "title arbitrage," or the renaming of key roles to reflect and attract new, high-value capabilities. It uses Palantir's creation of the "Forward-Deployed Engineer" (FDE) as a prime example. This title reframed client-facing technical work from a peripheral "implementation" role into a core, high-status engineering function. The move was strategic, allowing Palantir to attract talent that blended technical skill with business acumen and to dominate the market's perception of this capability. The piece argues that job titles are an organizational language that signals the value and authority of certain work. Effective new titles, like "Data Scientist" or "Site Reliability Engineer," emerge when a role's strategic importance genuinely outgrows its old name. Conversely, mere title inflation without substantive change is ineffective. For AI companies, particularly in B2B, this is a crucial strategy. AI transformation creates new high-leverage roles (e.g., "Legal Engineer," "GTM Engineer") that combine domain expertise with technical automation. By naming these roles, a company can help clients internally legitimize these change-makers. This, in turn, builds market mindshare, associating the company with the new capability. In conclusion, as AI blurs the lines between product and service, the ability to accurately name and organize the critical, client-adjacent work that defines product learning will be a key competitive advantage. The first to define this new organizational language plants a flag in the market's mind.

CBRS First Post-IPO Earnings Report: Revenue Doubles but Gross Margin Guidance Plummets, OpenAI's Massive Order Faces a Long Road to Realization

Cerebras Systems (CBRS) released its first quarterly report since going public. Q1 core revenue of $191.3M beat expectations, surging 92% YoY, with full-year revenue guidance raised to $855-$865M. However, the company's Q2 gross margin guidance of 36%-38% represents a sharp drop from Q1's 47%, sending shares down over 10% after-hours. Management attributed the margin pressure to temporary costs from leasing back hardware to deploy capacity for OpenAI, highlighting a business model shift from selling chips to selling compute power. While growth is strong, key investor debates center on valuation, customer concentration, and long-term contracts. Revenue remains heavily concentrated (86% from two UAE-linked entities in FY25), though major deals with OpenAI (a $20B+ contract) and AWS provide a long-term growth narrative. Analysts are broadly bullish, citing Cerebras's unique wafer-scale chip architecture as a potential advantage in the AI inference market. However, skeptics point to the narrow moat of its speed advantage, uncertainties around margin recovery amid its business transition, and a high valuation (~50x forward sales) that prices in the flawless execution of its large, long-dated contracts.
