Before the hype, before the TVL records, before anyone knew Jeff’s name. There was a small corner of crypto Twitter and a Discord server with barely a thousand followers. Rekt Gang was there from the very beginning, helping Hyperliquid take its first steps into the world.
No VCs & no paid KOLs mean your X account starts with less than 1k followers. To our knowledge, this is the 1st & only Hyperliquid giveaway to boost X followers. (The Rekt Wolf was aquired by the HL team) View original tweet
To manage Hyperliquid’s Discord security, Liquidspirit (the head mod in Rekt Gang) becomes the chief supreme mod in HL Discord.
Hyperliquid Discord launches their 1st paper trading competition with 7500 $USDC up for grabs. Lots of rekt, and lots of feedback is gathered.
As Hyperliquid found its footing, the Rekt community became its proving ground. Trading competitions stress-tested the platform, AMAs gave the community a direct line to the vision, and referral codes turned early believers into evangelists. Not just participation. Partnership.
We hear Jeff speak for the 1st time. The vision for the House of Finance is born. Relisten here, the vision remains 3 years later:
Fastest to get liquidated, winner gets a Trippy Wolf.
Sub 30 seconds speeds achieved.
To launch the new pool strategy featured by Hyperliquid, several NFT communities participated in a perps trading competition. Lots of experiments & critical insights were gathered.
To this day, Hyperliquid’s pool feature remains a differentiator amongst all Perp dexes.
We hear Jeff once more, and the beginning of Hyperliquid’s famous referral codes. One of the 1st codes of its kind
Referral codes become a staple for onboarding users to new protocols.
What started as competitions and AMAs evolved into something deeper. Rekt Gang became the cultural heartbeat of the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Hosting spaces, designing PNL cards, showing up week after week to amplify the signal through the noise.
A cool way of showcasing your PNL (mostly losses). First Rekt Design below by Jesse
The Rekt has hosted most Hyperliquid Spaces from Kinetiq to Felix to Valantis and so many more in between.
From culture to infrastructure. The Rekt Gang’s relationship with Hyperliquid matured from community builders to network participants. Running validators, bridging NFTs onto HyperEVM, and taking a stand in governance when it mattered most.
Securing the Hyperliquid network since early days.
Rekt folk can finally bridge their Trippy Wolves NFTs to HyperEVM using LayerZero technology.
The OG wolves, born on Terra Classic, are now bridgeable to HyperEVM using Axelar technology. Migrated from ETH their traits change to Hyper traits on HL.
1st controversial vote on Hyperliquid, the Rekt align with the Hyperliquid aligned.
and many more rekt things in years to come from hackathons to community events.
Ask not what the House of Finance can do for you,
but what you can do for the House of Finance.Hyperliquid.
