Hyperliquid in full action. The assistance fund converts trading fees to HYPE in a fully automated manner as part of the L1 execution. HYPE in the assistance fund is burned, removing the tokens permanently from the circulating and total supply.
In accordance with its onchain mandate to securely preserve value and support the Hyperliquid community, the assistance fund will begin holding a diverse set of native assets on Hyperliquid. Selection criteria include a fair initial distribution, decentralized ownership, Hyperliquid-first native deployment, and a demonstrated positive impact for the Hyperliquid community.
Among qualifying assets, the Hyper Foundation will initially decide on inclusion and relative representation. Over time, governance will take over this responsibility. The pilot asset added to the assistance fund is PURR. The assistance fund initially will hold 3M PURR, which accounts for approximately 0.5% of the total supply at the time of inclusion.
