On January 19th, Perp DEX Trove announced last week that after raising $11.5 million via an ICO, it will shift its TROVE token and perpetual contract DEX platform from Hyperliquid to Solana—backtracking on its earlier plan shared with participants. Trove noted a liquidity partner that had backed its Hyperliquid deployment opted to liquidate a 500,000 HYPE position; the move was the partner’s independent call but altered the project’s constraints. As a result, Trove will no longer build on Hyperliquid’s infrastructure, instead rebuilding its perpetual contract trading platform from the ground up on Solana. The new platform will cover multiple asset classes, including real-world assets (RWAs) and prediction markets. The sudden shift has sparked strong dissatisfaction in the community, particularly among ICO backers who’d expected the project to launch on Hyperliquid and stay tied to the HYPE ecosystem.
