A Solana Foundation executive said criticism from the Hyperliquid community reflects attention on a Solana-based perpetual futures product, according to the quoted social media post.
A social media post quotes Solana Foundation executive Chase Barker as saying the "HL gang" appeared upset that Solana launched a strong perpetual futures product that is attracting attention. The post also quotes him as saying, "Should have stayed silent. This is the FUD we needed," framing the backlash as fear, uncertainty, and doubt around competition in crypto derivatives markets. The source does not identify the specific product, provide launch details, or include a response from Hyperliquid.
