hyperliquid: the first year

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.
