Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan emphasized the shift from competition to ecosystem collaboration in the financial sector during an interview on February 19. Yan highlighted the significant synergies between different protocols, suggesting that cooperation and competition can coexist. He attributed Hyperliquid's success to its commitment to a "no insider" policy and a core principle of fairness and openness to users. Despite challenges like liquidity fragmentation and internal competition, Yan believes these dynamics will ultimately lead to a stronger system. He noted that the community's ability to unite and create superior alternatives to centralized competitors makes it difficult to identify strict competitors in the traditional sense.
