Sacha Baron Cohen breaks down the lost art of tragicomedy, and why making an audience laugh first is the most powerful setup for making them cry.
"The audience loved you and are engaged with you more because you've made them laugh, they transition really quickly into getting sad and crying."
"I'd see bits of white coming up, and I go, what are they? They're tissues. It's a genre you don't really see much anymore — funny people who, because you've got the audience by the kishkas, can then turn it around and get them crying."
Sacha Baron Cohen reveals he trained with a top FBI interrogator specifically to get OJ Simpson to confess to murder on hidden camera.
"I trained up with supposedly the greatest FBI interrogator. And eventually he goes, well, who's this for? And I go, it's for O.J. He goes, that's going to be tough. But OK."
"There is a sequence that I'd memorized to try and get O.J. to confess. But it failed."
As HYPE went on a run over the past month we witnessed all sorts of user behaviour on HyperLend. Whales rebalanced, users took profits and some people of course just stacked more HYPE. One day as I was watching all of these movements happen I was looking at our internal HPL Staking dashboard and I realised just how much our users were saving through volatility due to their HPL Stakes. I was trying to put a name to this pattern over the past week in Singapore and as I was chatting to people there I realised that HPL staking aligns very closely with a model we see in the Institutional world.
Introducing- HPL Staking as Rate Insurance
Think about it like this, HPL staking is paid out as a rebate of borrow cost. This means that to benefit from it you have to be an active borrower on HyperLend, paying out Interest on your position consistently over time. As a borrower your key exposure is interest rates, if you borrow stables they set your hurdle rate that you need to beat as you deploy the stables elsewhere, if you're looping they determine how profitable your spot leverage can be. Rates stay low, great, rates go up, less great.
HPL staking is an intentionally simple model. Users make an upfront purchase, just like paying an insurance premium, and from then on they receive rebates. When rates spike HPL rebates spike proportionately, ensuring that when market conditions change, or large users rebalance you as the user will always be paying a significant amount less interest than a user who does not stake HPL. To make things even better, when rates are low HPL continues to pay out a rebate, offsetting costs and pretty comfortably paying for the cost of the position in most well managed uses.
TradFi uses Insurance to offset risk in all sorts of positions, so why wouldn't you use that tool when borrowing against your hard earned positions?

Excited to work with Payward to forge a path for onchain derivatives built on Hyperliquid's infrastructure. Kraken is one of the most trusted and respected exchanges in crypto. They are also true believers in the technology and crypto ethos. We're honored that they are building on Hyperliquid to bring the next evolution of perpetual markets to the United States.
Payward, the parent company of Kraken, announced its intention to be the first CFTC-regulated deployer on HIP-3* markets. Payward will use Hyperliquid as the infrastructure layer to deploy perpetual futures markets for US clients. Subject to regulatory approval, Bitnomial, Payward’s CFTC-regulated DCM and DCO, would act as the HIP-3* deployer: creating, owning, and administering the markets and clearing and settling the contracts. If approved, NinjaTrader Clearing, Payward’s CFTC-registered FCM, would carry client accounts.
HIP-3 will support optional deployer configuration for permissioned markets in a future network upgrade. This set of additional deployer functionality is collectively called HIP-3*. At its core, HIP-3* activation involves an onchain allowlist managed by the deployer or its sub-deployers. The functionality is strictly additive to HIP-3; its use is optional and up to the deployer. Existing markets remain unchanged. The initial release is available on testnet, where specifications are preliminary and subject to change based on feedback.
Hyperliquid is a neutral infrastructure layer with the goal of supporting large parts of the financial system. HIP-3* gives deployers additional functionality to operate deployments consistent with the requirements applicable to them. As with HIP-3, HIP-3* deployers are independent operators who use Hyperliquid as the onchain infrastructure layer for their own markets, while retaining control and responsibility over their deployment.

recap.hl is live!
Watching this back and I’m emotional all over again.
event.hl started as just an idea, and you all turned it into something way bigger than I imagined.
So grateful for this community and for everyone who helped us make it happen 🫶
Hyperliquid.
We promised event.hl would be a movie, so here’s the recap 🎬
So many of you came from all over to Singapore to celebrate the Hyperliquid community together, and we’re still so grateful for every single person who was there.
Huge thank you to our sponsors and frens:
@hyperbeat @hlnames @HyperTracker @ottionhl @VegasDotFun @AlliedToasters @derteil00 @hypurrworld @demi_hl
We’re already thinking about the sequel 👀

Thank you to @TheStalwart and @tracyalloway for having me on! Appreciate the research that went into the thoughtful questions and discussion.
We derived some interesting results live about how mechanisms such as HIP-3* ought to work. This wasn't scripted and reflects close listening and quick learning by the hosts. I was impressed and enjoyed the conversation.
NEW ODD LOTS:
It’s the podcast debut for Jeff Yan
@tracyalloway and I have an ultra-rare interview with the CEO and co-founder of Hyperliquid Labs about his plan to house the world’s entire financial system

Montra is thrilled to announce the community launchpad for the @Enter_Elysium ecosystem.
Following a comprehensive research program on different launchpad models – those broken and those not – we believe we’ve come up with what will become the de facto all-purpose launchpad model for the next generation of cryptoassets ICOing on Elysium and accruing value all the way through the hyperliquid ecosystem.
As we approach Elysium mainnet launch, Montra will reveal its features piecewise, culminating in a litepaper containing all things revealed and the results of our research, presented the day before launch.
Our first announcement is the Montra economic stimulus package, consisting of two parts (details to follow):
1) a fixed $100,000 stimulus dedicated to the most competitive builders ICOing on Montra
2) an engagement-based airdrop to stimulate the montra-elysium ecosystem (let’s break records here)

“A lot of very important markets happen to be perpetuals” … “backbone of price discovery”

1/ We are excited to list PEARL, and are extremely aligned with our friends @prlnet in their mission to make the frontier of inference more useful and efficient.
