👋Introduction to Kinetiq

Kinetiq is a liquid staking protocol built natively on Hyperliquid, enabling users to stake the native token of the Hyperliquid blockchain (HYPE) and receive Kinetiq Staked HYPE (kHYPE) in return.

kHYPE enables staking participation while retaining full liquidity and capital efficiency — earning staking rewards while staying active across DeFi.

Behind the scenes, all staked HYPE is automatically delegated to the top-performing Hyperliquid validators, selected by StakeHub— Kinetiq’s autonomous validator scoring and delegation system.

This means:

• Your HYPE contributes to network security and decentralization

• You earn rewards passively, without manual validator selection

• Your kHYPE balance accrues value automatically, no claiming or rebasing needed

kHYPE is able to be utilized immediately across the Hyperliquid ecosystem, giving you the best of both worlds: native staking yield and DeFi utility, all while ensuring that Hyperliquid remains increasingly performant, secure and decentralized.
