Here’s some more information about this asset:
Kinetiq (KNTQ)
Kinetiq (KNTQ) is the leading liquid staking protocol built natively on Hyperliquid, allowing users to stake HYPE and receive kHYPE in return — earning staking rewards while remaining liquid across DeFi. Stakers can choose their validator within the Kinetiq Active Set who opt in by paying 50% of their validator commissions to the Kinetiq protocol, 100% of which are used to buy back KNTQ.
Beyond liquid staking, Kinetiq also operates Markets, an onchain perpetuals venue, and Launch, which allows aspiring HIP-3 deployers to crowdsource their stake via a custom LST. KNTQ is the protocol’s governance token and the sole instrument through which all value accrues: 100% of Staking, Markets.xyz, and Launch revenue funds KNTQ buybacks, with proceeds distributed to sKNTQ holders.
Please note:
- Trading via Kraken App and Instant Buy will be available once the liquidity conditions are met (when a sufficient number of buyers and sellers have entered the market for their orders to be efficiently matched).
- Geographic restrictions may apply
Will Kraken make more assets available?
Yes! But our policy is to never reveal any details until shortly before launch – including which assets we are considering. All of Kraken’s available tokens can be found here, and all future tokens will be announced on our Listings Roadmap and social media profiles. Our client engagement specialists cannot answer any questions about which assets we may be making available in the future.
