Of the total supply, 38.88% has been allocated to future emissions and community rewards and 23.8% is set aside for current and future core contributors.
The token can be staked to secure HyperBFT, the proof-of-stake consensus algorithm that powers the platform. It can also be used to pay transaction fees and create decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
Users were eligible for the airdrop after earning "points" over a six-month period that ended in May. Airdropped tokens typically face immediate sell pressure as airdrop hunters attempt to extract maximum value, however the signs are that demand for HYPE has outstripped supply, with strong momentum to the upside.
The HYPE/USDC order book is maintaining a significant amount of liquidity with 5% market depth, standing at around $4 million on both sides.
