SY-alUSD gets a 1.5× boost while PT-alUSD stops earning, and YT-alUSD retains its 5× multiplier, making it the key position for higher point share as ~90% of TVL exits eligibility.
Stage 3 will also introduce new money market multipliers, with TGE expected this quarter where 1 Point ≈ 1 Token.
HyperSwap launched SWAP, marking the live debut of its native token and trading feature on the platform.
Hyperwave opened claims for Season 1 $HWAVE, with a 48-hour window to stake and earn $GWAVE for protocol revenue. $HWAVE can be claimed via the Hyperwave app and is now tradeable on Hyperliquid.
