According to an article by Hasu, Head of Strategy at Flashbots, as reported by Odaily Planet Daily, most DeFi primitives are essentially financial primitives. These mechanisms already exist, but haven't been fully migrated to the blockchain. Advanced DeFi innovations often rely on the maturity of the underlying primitives and market liquidity, rather than simply technological breakthroughs. For example, the implementation of interest rate swaps in Pendle presupposes a thriving yield and buyback ecosystem already established on Ethereum.

Hasu points out that network effects and ecosystem accumulation are the core driving forces behind DeFi innovation, and it is expected that over 90% of innovations will still primarily appear on Ethereum and Solana. In contrast, while new chains are technologically advanced, they lack a sufficient ecosystem foundation. Hyperliquid is considered an exception, possessing deep liquidity in the perpetual contract space, which can create a competitive advantage in related derivative products.

He concluded that the core of DeFi's development is not "stronger technology," but rather the combined effect of time, liquidity, and ecosystem accumulation. Ethereum and Solana will continue to lead overall innovation, while Hyperliquid may become the most promising representative among the new chains.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Jon Charbonneau, founder of crypto investment firm DBA and crypto blog Uncommon Core 2.0, and Hasu, head of strategy at Flashbots, have launched a proposal to reduce the total supply of HYPE by 45%. The proposal proposes the following changes to Hyperliquid's economic model: revoking the authorization of all unminted HYPE currently allocated for future unlocks and community rewards (FECR); destroying all HYPE currently held in the Assistance Fund (AF), and all HYPE continuously acquired by the AF; and removing the maximum supply cap of 10 HYPE. Continued token issuance (e.g., for staking issuance or community rewards) will increase the total supply. The proposers stated that Hyperliquid's current large number of authorized, uncirculated tokens could be problematic, and that the proposal would not impact the relative ownership of the protocol's economics by existing HYPE token holders, Hyperliquid's ability to fund value-added initiatives, or how these decisions are made.

The proposal's originator disclosed that one or more investment funds managed by DBA hold significant positions in HYPE tokens, as do both co-authors. If this proposal proceeds to a formal governance vote and DBA, its affiliates, and/or co-authors are able to participate, all co-authors currently intend to vote in favor, as applicable.
