Staking

Staking in Spacebar represents more than just passive yield generation. It's a mechanism for aligning long-term interests between the platform and its most committed supporters. By delegating HYPE tokens to Spacebar's official validator, HypurrCorea, users simultaneously support the network's security infrastructure while earning rewards and gaining additional benefits within the Outer Space ecosystem.

Why Stake with HypurrCorea

HypurrCorea functions as Spacebar's official validator on Hyperliquid, creating a direct relationship between validator delegation and ecosystem participation. When you stake HYPE with HypurrCorea, you're unlocking additional opportunities that aren't available to general Hyperliquid stakers.

The choice to operate an official validator rather than simply recommending existing validators reflects Spacebar's commitment to infrastructure and long-term sustainability. By running HypurrCorea, the team maintains direct control over validator performance, ensures reliable uptime, and creates a clear channel for distributing ecosystem benefits to aligned supporters. This validator also serves as a coordination point for governance participation, allowing stakers to meet threshold requirements for tie-breaker votes and other community decisions.

The Lottery

Beyond standard validator rewards, HypurrCorea stakers participate in a weekly lottery system that distributes additional $HYPE. This lottery operates on a proportional basis, increasing the chance of your odds of winning with your stake amount by accumulating more tickets, but does not guarantee a win.

The lottery system serves a couple of strategic purposes. First, it creates regular engagement touchpoints with stakers, giving them opportunities to earn beyond baseline validator returns. Second, it distributes $HYPE to long-term supporters rather than pure mercenary farmers, ensuring that ecosystem tokens flow to aligned participants.
