HyperEVM
Deploy Solidity contracts that compose natively with the order book and perpetuals engine.

Questions

Frequently asked

Everything you need to know about the HYPE airdrop. Still stuck? Jump into Discord for live help.

When does the claim window close?
The claim window is open for 30 days from April 23, 2026. Any unclaimed tokens after the deadline will be redirected to the community treasury for future incentive programmes.
Do I need to pay gas to claim?
No. All claim transactions on Hyperliquid are gas-sponsored. You will not pay a single cent to receive your allocation — just connect, sign, and claim.
Is there a vesting schedule?
Tier 1 and Tier 2 allocations are 100% unlocked on claim. Tier 3 and Tier 4 allocations unlock 30% at claim, with the remaining 70% linearly vesting over 12 months directly to your wallet.
What if my wallet isn't eligible?
Eligibility was determined by an on-chain snapshot — there is no retroactive way to qualify. However, ongoing incentive programmes, staking rewards, and ecosystem airdrops continue to reward active users.
Can I sell HYPE immediately?
Yes. Unlocked HYPE is fully tradeable on Hyperliquid spot markets the moment it hits your wallet. Spot liquidity is live with deep order-book depth.
