Kinetiq is now live on HyperEVM mainnet

Kinetiq, a native liquid staking protocol for Hyperliquid, has announced that it is now live on the HyperEVM mainnet, enabling on-chain liquid staking for the network’s HYPE token. With mainnet availability, users can stake HYPE and receive kHYPE, a liquid staking token (LST) that represents staked HYPE and accrues staking rewards while remaining usable across HyperEVM DeFi applications. A supporting update from oracle provider RedStone confirms that a dedicated on-chain price feed for kHYPE is live on HyperEVM, which is critical for integrating kHYPE into lending, trading, and other DeFi protocols. Kinetiq is positioned as a core staking primitive on Hyperliquid, built specifically for HyperEVM, the chain’s Ethereum-compatible execution environment that powers its broader DeFi ecosystem. By routing HYPE staking through its validator selection and reward-compounding architecture, Kinetiq removes the traditional trade-off between staking for network security and keeping assets liquid, allowing kHYPE to be used as collateral and liquidity across money markets and other protocols on HyperEVM. This launch strengthens HyperEVM’s liquid staking layer, expands utility for HYPE holders, and provides the infrastructure needed for more composable DeFi strategies centered around HYPE and its liquid staking derivatives.
