Welcome back to another edition of the ValiDAO Digest!

Each week, we update our dear readers with all the major developments happening within the ecosystems where we operate, provided by your very own local, organic, seed-oil-free validator.

Hyperliquid

Hyperliquid has announced permissionless validator deployment, with the active set being made up of the top 20 validators by stake.

Additionally, the Hyper Foundation will begin decentralizing stake through the Delegation Program.

The HyperEVM has been steadily growing, with all metrics up and to the right prior to full functionality and any incentives.

Hyperliquid.

Monad

Moand testnet has been off to a strong start, with 200M txs, 100k NFT collections, dozens of apps deployed, and <1s block times.

FastLane has also announced a $6M Strategic Round to build the first-ever Holistic Liquid Staking Token, exclusively on Monad.

Looped Hype

Looped Hype is officially live, enabling users to earn ~10% APY on their HYPE.

This is possible by LHYPE automatically looping stHYPE, which users can then utilize within the Hyperliquid ecosystem.

We'd greatly appreciate if you staked your LHYPE with us here!

Berachain

Berachain has announced Polaris, an autonomous Star in Sky's Agent Framework.

Polaris is designed to act as a capital allocator for USDS, generating returns through Berachain's Proof of Liquidity.

Governance Phase 1 has also gone live, where teams can submit governance proposals to enable Proof of Liquidity functionality into their applications.

Story

Story has released the IP Portal's Public Preview, the first step towards a fully-permissionless IP monetization platform.

You can already register your own IP with Story, allowing others to discover and remix it while getting paid for your work.

That's it for this week!

As always, we're committed to providing free-range, locally sourced, and seed-oil-free consensus services from geographically diverse locations.

Until next time!
