Hyperliquid, the decentralized perpetuals trading platform, announced on X that it has upgraded its blockchain infrastructure to introduce fully on-chain validator voting for asset delisting. This follows the $6m exploit, where a whale forced a short squeeze of the JELLY memecoin, which led to the exchange delisting the memecoin.
The exploit involved a trader opening a massive short on JELLY, then manipulating the price upward to trigger Hyperliquid’s auto-liquidation system.

The JELLY price continued to spike, amplified by CEX listings, exposing Hyperliquid to millions in unrealized losses. To contain the damage, the platform force-settled the position at the original entry price and delisted the token, sparking backlash over governance transparency.
