> **Video Content:** The video shows a static image of a raccoon standing upright with its paws pressed together in a prayer-like or pleading gesture, set against a rocky gray background. There is no movement or scene progression between the two frames—the raccoon remains in the same pose throughout, giving the appearance of begging or requesting something. No on-screen text, tickers, or numbers are visible in the video itself.

The dragons didn’t wait for permission to conquer. Neither will Hyperliquid.

Every great ecosystem has one community people wish they had joined earlier. The ones that seem small at first often become the ones everyone talks about later. I don’t know how"

If you were active on Hyperliquid, Lighter or other onchain perps, your wallet might be eligible.

150k points in total going to people who never used Variational before.

Will it bring new wallets? definitely."

Each one taught me something, but my experience with StandX has been different.

What caught my attention wasn’t just another perpetual DEX with leverage"

> **Visual Note:** A Discord message from user 'jeff, hi' explaining a new deployer-controlled function (scaleWei) for HIP-1 that would atomically transfer token balances proportionally, usable for token redenomination when the token equals the referenceToken.  

> 
> "BIG update for Hyperliquid.

HIP-1 is becoming programmable at the balance level.

This could enable:
• Dividends
• Stock splits
• Rebasing
• Airdrops

All handled directly on HyperCore — meaning users wouldn't need to manually claim distributions.

The new "scaleWei""

> **Video Content:** The video features a man in a suit standing in a dimly lit room with large windows, who emphatically transitions from a contemplative question to a triumphant declaration. Text on screen follows his escalation: starting with "Lose?", shifting to "I don't lose!", and culminating in a shouted "I WIN!" as his mouth opens wide in excitement. A "DivX Video" watermark is visible in the corner throughout the clip, reinforcing the message of resilience that echoes the post's theme of turning rejection into opportunity.  

> 
> "A rejection leads me to an open door of more time and opportunities. 

Hyperliquid."
