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.
