2024Hypurr NFTs
First NFT collection native to the Hyperliquid L1
Distributed to community members by the Hyper Foundation as part of the ecosystem buildout on the Hyperliquid L1 (HyperEVM). Established the first NFT market on the chain and seeded the broader Hypurr ecosystem.
Hypurr Ecosystem
The Hypurr ecosystem is the native NFT and community layer on the Hyperliquid L1 (HyperEVM). It encompasses NFT collections, community tokens, and on-chain identity built directly on Hyperliquid's own chain.
The first NFT collection minted natively on the Hyperliquid L1. Distributed by the Hyper Foundation to early community members. These NFTs established on-chain identity within the Hyperliquid ecosystem and serve as a marker of early participation.
Hyperliquid's unofficial community mascot token — a cat-themed memecoin that was the first spot asset traded on the platform. Half of supply was airdropped to points holders; the other half seeds HLP liquidity.
Hyperliquid's EVM-compatible execution layer. Enables permissionless deployment of smart contracts, NFT marketplaces, and DeFi applications on the same chain that powers the perps order book.
Multiple third-party NFT projects and tokens have launched on HyperEVM since the Hypurr collections. The ecosystem includes marketplaces, lending protocols, and community-built tools.
