The Hyperliquid mainnet validator node mechanism is launched, supporting 21 permissionless nodes to participate in consensus

ChainCatcher news, according to the announcement from the Hyper Foundation, the Hyperliquid validator node set has been updated to 21 permissionless nodes, and any user can register a node. The top 21 by staking amount will form the active set. Nodes must self-stake 10,000 HYPE, and this stake will be locked for one year, with no refunds even if not selected for the active set. The official recommendation is to familiarize yourself with the testnet before the mainnet launch and to prioritize applying for the Delegation Program, which will launch in the coming days to allocate token support for high-quality validator nodes.
