Episode notes
Liquid Staking As A Launchpad
- Kinetic treats liquid staking as a distribution wedge, not the end product.
- KHYPE aims to be the most liquid, widely used LST in the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
KM-HYPE Launch Story
- KM-HYPE was created as an exchange-specific LST that grants revenue share in Markets.
- KNTQ gating limited participation to aligned holders and ~500 people seeded the offering in 90 minutes.
Strict Risk Segmentation

- This prevents users in one product from being exposed to unrelated execution or liquidity risks.
