Hyperliquid Names will follow a structured, fair launch process designed to minimize name squatting and ensure equal opportunity for individuals and entities to claim and mint names. The launch will consist of three phases:
Phase 1: Whitelist Application
Phase 2: Auction
Phase 3: Open mint
During this phase, individuals can apply for a specific name and reserve it for minting at mainnet launch.
Access code: You will need a unique, one-time use access code to enter the whitelist application portal. Codes will be distributed exclusively through our ecosystem partners.
Name Selection: Once you're in the portal, connect your Twitter or Discord, Wallet (to check for ENS names you own), and select one of the generated .hl names.

Names that have not been minted during the application phase will be made available for auction. The auction phase introduces a competitive process where participants can place bids to win ownership of a name.
Auction Duration: Each auction runs for 31 hours.
Bidding Rules:
Bids start at 1 HYPE and must increment by at least .01 HYPE.
If a bid is placed within 5 hours of the auction's end, the auction will extend by an additional 1 hour.
A temporary maximum of 100 active auctions can run at any time.
Each wallet is temporarily limited to owning a maximum of 5 names during the auction phase.
We will routinely review these limitations and adjust them as needed.
Winning the Auction: The highest bidder at the end of the auction period wins the name.
