What is Hyperliquid?

Hyperliquid is a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain built for DeFi, featuring the HYPE token. Its HyperBFT consensus ensures fast, secure transactions with ~1-second block times. Stake HYPE with P2P.org to receive network rewards, enjoy low fees, and support the network’s decentralized trading ecosystem. With no lockups, you control your HYPE tokens while earning ~2.2% NRR, powering Hyperliquid’s scalable perpetual futures platform.

What are the risks of staking Hyperliquid?

Validator Downtime Risk: poor validator performance may reduce staking rewards. P2P.org’s 99.9% uptime mitigates this.

Liquidity Risk: the 8-day unstaking queue limits access to funds, potentially affecting you during market shifts.
Market Volatility: HYPE’s price fluctuations may affect reward value.
Our non-custodial staking keeps your HYPE tokens safe.

Who has custody of Hyperliquid tokens?

HYPE staking with P2P.org is non-custodial. Your HYPE tokens remain in your wallet (e.g., Hyperliquid-compatible Web3 wallet). You delegate voting power to our validator to earn HYPE, maintaining full control over your assets.

What are the minimum and maximum stake amounts?

There is no minimum or maximum stake amount for delegators staking HYPE with P2P.org, though validators require a 10,000 HYPE self-delegation. Ensure your stake covers transaction fees for cost-effectiveness.

What is a bonding period?

There is no bonding period for HYPE staking. Transfers from your spot to the staking account are instant, allowing you to stake HYPE with P2P.org and start earning rewards immediately in the next reward cycle (~1 minute).

How often are staking rewards distributed?

Staking rewards are distributed daily and automatically redelegated for compounding.

What is the unstaking period?

Unstaking HYPE involves a 1-day lockup period, followed by a 7-day queue to transfer tokens back to your spot account, for a total of 8 days.
During this period, you cannot earn rewards or access funds, ensuring network stability.

Is there a slashing risk?

There is no automatic slashing in Hyperliquid staking. However, validators can be jailed for poor performance (e.g., low latency), halting rewards for delegators. P2P.org’s robust infrastructure minimizes this risk, ensuring you get rewards reliably.
