We are (hopefully) still in the early days of Hyperliquid. The early days are special at any company or project. In crypto, sometimes projects choose to very public from the get-go, engaging with the community to get feedback, providing status updates, and cultivating lore.
It has just been just over 3 years since Hyperliquid opened its Discord to the public. I thought it would be interesting to trace Hyperliquid’s history through Discord screenshots. Below is the first year (Nov 4, 2022 - Nov 4, 2023), organized roughly chronologically.
