Hyperliquid testnet introduces Stars feature allowing optional market whitelisting of up to 10,000 addresses.
DeFi & Yields ·
Hyperliquid's testnet has introduced a Stars feature that permits optional market whitelisting of up to 10,000 addresses. The capability allows market creators to restrict participation to a curated set of traders if desired, adding a layer of access control to the otherwise permissionless listing model the platform has built.
Stars operates as an opt-in mechanism rather than a mandatory requirement. Markets launched on Hyperliquid can choose whether to implement the whitelist or remain fully open, giving creators flexibility in managing their market's initial participant base. The feature runs on the testnet phase before any mainnet deployment.
The exact timeline for Stars migration to mainnet, the operational costs or mechanics of maintaining a whitelist, and whether the 10,000-address cap is fixed or configurable remain unspecified. The feature's intended use cases—whether primarily for new asset launches, risk management, or other scenarios—have not been detailed in available materials.
