Compared to other crypto projects and platforms, Hyperliquid takes a different path. Platform founder Jeff Yang said that instead of focusing on what others are doing, the team is committed to building something new.
Yang said HyperLiquid is not trying to steal market share from centralized exchanges or other DeFi platforms.
Build, don’t compete
In an interview with TBPN, Jeff Yang explained that his team sees very little of its competitors. They are building systems that will stand the test of time. He said the combination of community power and technology is far more effective than marketing or hype.
Thanks to you @TBPN Thank you for letting me ride! It was a fun conversation about Hyperliquid’s origin story, principles, and vision

Hyperliquid has a small team of about 10 people and no marketing department. Rather than relying on advertising or celebrity partnerships, we encourage users to spread the word. Yang said their community is strong and loyal. He also said that they are actively participating in the growth of the project. All of this is evidence that useful technology attracts supporters.
A new kind of financial infrastructure
Hyperliquid started as a decentralized exchange but has evolved into something more valuable. The team is developing its own Ethereum-compatible chain named HyperEVM. Designed to support lending, borrowing, and other DeFi products. The team is Developing transparent and safe financial products On-chain.
Yang also clarified that Hyperliquid will never compete with projects that use its platform. Rather, it’s about supporting developers and allowing the ecosystem to evolve properly. He believes this open source mindset is the way to create true innovation.

be transparent
One of Hyperliquid’s strongest principles is independence. This project has not received funding from venture capital firms. Yang believes that letting VCs hold a large portion of the tokens could undermine network neutrality. By remaining self-funded, Hyperliquid continues to put control in the hands of users and developers.
In contrast to most centralized exchanges, Hyperliquid is completely on-chain, so anyone can see your transactions. Yang said true decentralization should be transparent and verifiable, and criticized non-disclosure agreements.

conclusion
Hyperliquid essentially does not compete with any project. It’s just moving towards an improved future. They prove that technology, transparency, and community can lead to great success. Projects succeed without relying on hype or competition. Hyperliquid is instead demonstrating that being a leader means being a builder.
