Hyperliquid Clarifies False Accusations: Platform's Status Transparent and Verifiable, Progressive Decentralization Will Ultimately Be Fully Open Source
On December 22, Hyperliquid issued a clarification addressing a recent article that leveled unfounded accusations against the platform. The article alleged issues with Hyperliquid’s solvency, integrity, and transparency; the protocol responded to 10 specific claims as follows:
1. **$3.62B under-collateralization**: False. The article’s author overlooked HyperEVM USDC (parallel to the Arbitrum bridge). Current total USDC holdings: $43.51B.
2. **Transaction volume manipulation via TestnetSetYesterdayUserVlm**: False. This is a testnet-only feature and cannot be invoked on mainnet.
3. **Privileged users (fee waivers, airdrop manipulation)**: False. All fees, balances, and transactions are on-chain visible; no distortion mechanisms exist.
4. **CoreWriter “God Mode” (minting, fund transfers)**: False. This refers to how HyperEVM smart contracts send operations to HyperCore—no such privileged access exists.
5. **Governance freezing the chain (no undo)**: Misunderstanding. Freezing
