On May 20th, Hyperliquid has officially updated its HIP-3 documentation. The update states that the 500,000 HYPE staking requirement for deploying a perpetual decentralized exchange (DEX) will gradually drop as the infrastructure matures—any portion staked above the next staking threshold can be unstaked. The document also clarifies: "Any deployer that meets the staking requirement can launch a perpetual DEX.
