Hyperliquid’s HIP-6 lets teams raise funds and launch tokens natively with built-in price discovery and liquidity.

Continuous Clearing Auctions reduce price manipulation and spread bids fairly over time.

A 5% fee and auto-liquidity seeding strengthen USDH utility and support the Assistance Fund.
Hyperliquid has moved fast to reshape token launches with a bold new proposal. According to Hyperliquid Daily on X, “HIP-6 Proposal on Hyperliquid TL;DR: HIP-6 is a community proposal for permissionless token launches on Hyperliquid via Continuous Clearing Auctions (CCA).”
The plan introduces onchain fundraising through Continuous Clearing Auctions inside HyperCore. Moreover, it lets projects raise USDH, discover fair prices over about one week, and auto-seed liquidity. Consequently, teams can launch tokens natively without relying on offchain deals or thin order books.
James Evans described the idea as “HIP-6 Proposal: Token launch auctions (Hy-COs).” He explained that the system adapts Uniswap’s continuous clearing auction for Hyperliquid’s CLOB-native design. Besides, deployers select aligned quote assets like USDH, which boosts ecosystem demand. The protocol then splits proceeds between the team and automatic HIP-2 liquidity seeding.
How HIP-6 Changes Token Launches
HIP-6 tackles capital formation and price discovery in one streamlined flow. Teams register an auction after completing standard HIP-1 deployment steps. They define supply, duration, minimum raise, and liquidity seeding percentages. Additionally, the system freezes token transfers during the auction to prevent insider selling.
Bidders submit a budget and a maximum price per token. The protocol spreads each bid evenly across remaining blocks. Every block releases a fixed token tranche and calculates a uniform clearing price. Hence, the design reduces timing games that plague traditional auctions.
Moreover, the auction runs entirely within HyperCore’s block logic. No external operators control funds. The protocol holds bidder capital in escrow until settlement. Consequently, participants avoid counterparty risks.
Built-In Safeguards and Liquidity Boost
HIP-6 enforces a 5% protocol fee that flows to the Assistance Fund. It also requires 20% to 100% of net proceeds to seed HIP-2 liquidity pools. Furthermore, the system calculates the starting price using a trailing 5% VWAP window. That mechanism limits last-minute price manipulation.
The proposal includes penalties for spam bids and strict withdrawal rules. However, bidders can withdraw only when their bids fall below the clearing price. This rule prevents coordinated price swings.
Hyperliquid positions HIP-6 as optional but strategic. It aims to attract projects from ecosystems like Solana and Base. Additionally, future HyperEVM tools could extend liquidity support after launch.

WLFI Governance Proposal: Stake for 180 days to exchange for voting rights, small holders face liquidity challenges
WLFI proposal requires investors holding unlocked tokens to stake for 180 days to retain governance voting rights and earn a 2% annualized return. Although 99% of voters support the proposal, the actual amount of tokens participating in the vote accounts for only 1% of the total supply. The proposal has raised questions about transparency and privileges for large holders, especially due to the lack of an unlock schedule, which affects investor confidence.
