According to Golden Finance, the Hyper Foundation stated on the New blocks on Hyperliquid are proposed by validators in proportion to the amount of HYPE staked to them. Staking is an important responsibility of the Hyperliquid community. Users can stake HYPE to trustworthy verifiers and receive HYP staking rewards. Users may consider different metrics when choosing which validator to stake to, such as uptime, commissions, reputation, and community contribution. The Hyper Foundation will have a delegation program to support high-performance validators and further decentralize the network. More information about the program will be announced later. Note that locked tokens can be staked, but their rewards are locked. "
