Blockdaemon has partnered with Hyperion DeFi to support Blockdaemon’s Hyperliquid staking operations through the Kinetiq X Hyperion Validator.
Los Angeles, June 18, 2026 – Blockdaemon, the leading U.S. headquartered institutional-grade crypto infrastructure company, announced that it has partnered with Hyperion DeFi (NASDAQ: HYPD) to support Blockdaemon’s Hyperliquid staking operations through the Kinetiq X Hyperion Validator.
Hyperliquid has emerged as one of the most active decentralized trading ecosystems, creating growing demand for reliable validator infrastructure, staking access, and institutional-grade support across its network. For Blockdaemon, the partnership with Hyperion DeFi marks an important milestone in building a deeper infrastructure presence around Hyperliquid while supporting institutional clients seeking exposure to staking and DeFi opportunities through trusted partners.
“Hyperion DeFi has built a strong position in the Hyperliquid ecosystem, and the Kinetiq x Hyperion Validator allows Blockdaemon to support staking demand on the network with the reliability, security, and performance built for institutional participation at scale,” said Konstantin Richter, Founder & CEO at Blockdaemon. “This integration gives us an active, production-ready path to serve Hyperliquid staking demand, while creating a foundation for future DeFi infrastructure services across the ecosystem.”
“We are proud to work with Blockdaemon to support the institutional adoption of Hyperliquid and provide access to the network’s native staking yield through our Validator operations,” said Hyunsu Jung, Chief Executive Officer at Hyperion DeFi. “This partnership is a key step towards scaling our broad suite of onchain products and services, as we position ourselves for continued institutional interest to participate in DeFi built on Hyperliquid”.
Hyperion DeFi’s broader roadmap includes products and services designed for institutional clients, including the HYPE Asset Use Service, private lending, and vault infrastructure. Through this partnership, Blockdaemon and Hyperion DeFi will expand staking, validator operations, and DeFi infrastructure to support the next phase of institutional participation on Hyperliquid.
The partnership reflects Blockdaemon’s continued focus on providing secure, reliable, and scalable blockchain infrastructure through their digital asset platform for institutions across staking, nodes, APIs, MPC wallet technology, and emerging DeFi use cases across the industry’s leading blockchain networks.
