[Hyperliquid Founder Responds to ADL Mechanism Controversy, Claims to Have Generated Hundreds of Millions in Profits for Users] Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan responded to external criticism regarding the platform prioritizing protocol revenue, emphasizing that the platform focuses more on traders' interests. Yan stated that during the market's sharp fluctuations on October 10, Hyperliquid's Auto-Deleveraging (ADL) mechanism closed profitable short positions at favorable prices, generating hundreds of millions of dollars in profits for users. Although more positions could have been liquidated through backstop liquidation, potentially bringing additional profits to the protocol, this would have resulted in high-risk exposure. Yan stressed that the ADL mechanism achieves a "win-win" by transferring potential profits and losses to users while reducing the platform's risk exposure. Additionally, Hyperliquid is exploring ways to optimize the ADL mechanism to enhance user experience and system robustness.
