This move, designed to democratize participation and improve network security, means anyone can register as a validator. The top 21 by staked tokens will form the active set—those responsible for maintaining the blockchain.
To further support decentralization, the Hyper Foundation confirmed that delegations from its Delegation Program. It will be going live in the coming days. This initiative is expected to broaden participation by allowing token holders to support validators they trust.
Validator Access, Now Open to All
Becoming a validator on the Hyper network is now open to the public, but not without serious technical expectations. Validators are urged to first explore the testnet environment and fully understand the responsibilities of maintaining node infrastructure. Only the 21 validators with the most tokens staked will be considered “active”. This means that they’ll take part in consensus and earn rewards.
One important requirement: validators must self-delegate 10,000 HYPE tokens to qualify. This stake will be locked for one year, even if they don’t make it into the top 21. The foundation notes that this long-term lockup is built into the protocol and is non-negotiable.
The validator set has been updated to 21 permissionless nodes. Anyone can register a validator, and the 21 largest by stake form the active set. Delegations from the Delegation Program are expected to go live in the coming days.

The Delegation Program offers an extra layer of community support. Token holders who don’t want to run a validator themselves can delegate their HYPE to those who do. This is similar to what we’ve seen on networks like Cosmos and Avalanche. In these chains, delegation programs have helped balance power and improve network stability.
More About Crypto Validators
Ethereum’s upcoming Pectra upgrade includes EIP-7251, a proposal that raises the MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE—the cap on stake per validator—from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH while keeping the 32 ETH minimum unchanged. This move aims to boost validator efficiency across the network. Instead of spinning up multiple redundant validators, stakers can now consolidate their ETH. This helps reduce the total number of validators.
Watch @MurrLincoln break down Pectra’s EIP-7251, which increases the MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE while keeping the 32 ETH minimum stake, optimizing validator efficiency.

Fewer validators mean lower network overhead, with reduced peer-to-peer (P2P) messaging. It also allows for more efficient aggregation of signatures using the BLS cryptography scheme. For solo stakers, this upgrade removes the barrier of needing exactly 64 ETH to launch a second validator. This will allow them to grow their position more flexibly. Larger operators, meanwhile, can cut down on infrastructure costs by running fewer. More powerful validators, improving scalability without sacrificing security.
