DROPS 42: Kinetiq - Building Hyperliquid's biggest protocol and solving the HyperEVM problem Omnia π runs Kinetiq, the largest protocol on Hyperliquid. He's anonymous, been building in crypto for almost a decade, and went from hotel management to a digital asset hedge fund to founding the third largest liquid... staking protocol in crypto. We get into how Kinetiq pulled in $2.5B in five weeks, why he thinks HyperEVM gets a bad rap, and what's coming next with Elysium - Kinetiq's new L2 - that might be the first L2 in crypto that adds value instead of extracting it.
