USDT0 is dedicated to a single, unwavering goal: to unify stablecoin liquidity across the world’s leading chains. But beyond moving tokens, achieving that vision also means supporting the protocols reshaping onchain finance.

To that end, we’re thrilled to announce that USDT0 is officially a network validator for Hyperliquid! Our validator will be operated in union with Luganodes, a global leader in institutional-grade staking infrastructure services.

Hyperliquid is a high-performance layer 1 blockchain designed for onchain trading and DeFi applications. In addition to supporting a general-purpose EVM via HyperEVM, Hyperliquid is vertically integrated for DeFi at scale, with an orderbook, sequencer, and validator infrastructure built for:

• Ultra-low latency (~20ms finality)

• High throughput (2,000+ TPS)

• Seamless orderbook-native trading

• Modular support for rollups, apps, and new token standards

In other words, Hyperliquid combines the low-latency precision and performance typically associated with centralized exchanges with the transparency and composability of onchain architecture.

Validators play a critical role in maintaining the integrity and efficiency of Hyperliquid. These validators are responsible for:

• Validating blocks and transaction execution

• Participating in consensus and finality

• Maintaining liveness and performance guarantees

• Earning and distributing staking rewards

Hyperliquid validators are selected based on stake weight and are expected to operate with maximum uptime and minimal latency. To keep the system efficient and honest, validators can be slashed for downtime or double-signing.

This means validator quality matters—not just for consensus, but for the reliable execution of consequential, high-volume financial activities. By joining Hyperliquid’s prestigious validator set in partnership with Luganodes, USDT0 helps secure Hyperliquid and enhances users’ DeFi experience in ways that extend beyond stablecoin liquidity.

The USDT0 x Luganodes validator is now live on Hyperliquid and accepting delegations. This means users can delegate their HYPE tokens to the USDT0 x Luganodes validator and earn rewards for securing the network.

Delegate your HYPE with USDT0 x Luganodes

Our validator combines the liquidity-layer expertise of USDT0 with Luganodes’ institutional-grade staking infrastructure. As one of the world’s top staking providers, Luganodes operates across 50+ chains with $3+ billion in staked assets, all while maintaining a consistent uptime of 99.9%. Born out of the Lugano Plan B Program, Luganodes is one of the fastest-growing staking providers globally.

By combining our strengths, USDT0 and Luganodes will ensure that our Hyperliquid validator achieves peak performance and future extensibility. The performance of all Hyperliquid validators can be tracked in real time here.

We believe that the future of stablecoin adoption depends not only on token composability and trust, but on the performance of the chains they’re deployed on. Together, USDT0, Hyperliquid, and Luganodes are making DeFi more scalable, accessible, and reliable for builders and users alike.

USDT0 is now an integral part of one of the most consequential, fastest growing ecosystems in the onchain space. Stay tuned for more updates as our collaboration evolves!
