Helium stands at a pivotal moment in its evolution as a decentralized wireless network, balancing rapid growth, economic restructuring, and global expansion. With accelerated growth in domestic DAUs and Hotspots supporting its network, Helium is leveraging strategic partnerships and innovative proposals to scale internationally. The recent implementation of HIP 138, “Return to HNT,” has unified its token economy under HNT, simplifying participation and strengthening liquidity, while HIP 139’s phase-out of CBRS refocuses efforts on scalable Wi-Fi offload. Meanwhile, governance shifts under HIP 141 raise questions about centralization as Nova Labs consolidates control over the roadmap.

Despite ending its points program, Hyperliquid has maintained a dominant market position with 77% of perpetuals DEX volumes, though overall volume has decreased from early 2025. It is the only DEX that has been able to compete with CEX volumes. Hyperliquid's success stems primarily from rapid, relevant token listings and superior UX for users and market makers, particularly its API - which is how market makers interact with the protocol. The controversial oracle price override during the JELLY incident exposed risks in the Hyperliquid Liquidity Pool (HLP), though the team has since implemented risk management adjustments. The HyperEVM is currently underoptimized and lacks necessary precompiles, but represents an important strategic expansion to enable asset issuance and DeFi composability.
