The Hyperliquid community is considering a new proposal, dubbed HIP-5, that would establish a secondary assistance fund to support Hyperliquid ecosystem projects using a portion of the decentralized exchange’s revenue.

One of the proposal’s co-authors, Ericonomic, shared the details on X and in the Hyperliquid Discord, but the idea of altering Hyperliquid’s fee buyback mechanism has left the community split.

Currently, Hyperliquid uses 99% of its revenue to buy back HYPE tokens through its assistance fund. Under HIP-5, a second assistance fund (AF2) would be formed with up to 5% of total protocol fees allocated to buy back tokens from Hyperliquid’s strict list, such as PURR, and upcoming ecosystem tokens from Kinetiq, Felix, and other HyperEVM protocols.
