Hyperliquid's points-based allocation (not strict tiers) achieved strong mid-tier coverage in its 2024 genesis airdrop, rewarding genuine mid-level traders fairly, unlike whale-dominated drops (e.g., Blast/Jito).
This promotes investment fairness by broadening distribution, curbing sybil attacks, and fostering community loyalty.
Returns: 94,000 users averaged 2,915 HYPE ($20K-$45K at varying prices); mid-tier users (e.g., lower percentiles) received hundreds-thousands in value, with high ROI from low trading fees and HYPE's 10x+ post-launch gains.
Lesson for similar projects: Prioritize activity-weighted, anti-sybil designs to cover mid-tiers meaningfully, enhancing equity, reducing sell pressure, and supporting long-term token performance.
