Summary

In an official announcement, Hyper Foundation said on-chain, stake-weighted voting on USDH proposals will begin at 18:00 Beijing time on Sept. 14. Stakers must delegate to validators aligned with their vote; switching requires unbonding from the current validator, staking to a new one, then a 1-day cooldown before unbonding from that validator. The foundation warned that transferring HYPE from staked to spot removes voting eligibility. Once a 2/3 quorum is reached, a designated address may bid for shares in the spot deployment gas auction. The foundation validator will abstain in line with Sept. 11 validator commitments, weighted by Sept. 14 stake.

Terms & Concepts
  • Stake-weighted voting: A governance model where voting power is proportional to the amount of tokens staked with a validator.
  • Unbonding: The process of withdrawing staked tokens from a validator, typically requiring a cooldown period before they can be moved or restaked.
  • Quorum (2/3): The minimum threshold of votes—two-thirds of stake—required to authorize specified actions, such as enabling gas auction bidding.
