Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan announced a shift in strategy to actively counter false information, known as FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt), during an interview on February 19. Yan highlighted the company's previous silence in the face of misinformation but emphasized the need to correct inaccuracies moving forward. He referenced the "1010 incident," where Hyperliquid was scrutinized as the only transparent platform, and expressed frustration with competitors who distorted facts. This frustration, Yan noted, has transformed into motivation to clarify the platform's design intentions to users.
