🚨 HYPERLIQUID JUST TESTED SOMETHING THAT COULD CHANGE WHO GETS TO TRADE. 👀 A new feature called “Stars” has appeared on the Hyperliquid testnet — and it looks like it could give HIP-3 DEX deployers much tighter control over who can trade. From what I can tell, Stars allow deployers to create a HIP-3 DEX with an address allowlist for trading. The current testnet limit appears to be 10,000 approved addresses. But here's the interesting part: Non-approved addresses can still fund accounts and submit reduce-only orders — they just can't open new positions. The feature is already being tested through ktob ("BTC Star DEX"). The transactions show the flow pretty clearly: → Register the DEX → Activate the Star → Approve a trader address → Unhalt the market → Unapproved address tries to trade and fails → Approved address places an order successfully So this isn't just sitting in the codebase. It's actually being tested on-chain. There are plenty of possible use cases here, but I'm going to hold off on speculation for now. For now, the key takeaway is simple: Hyperliquid appears to be experimenting with permissioned access layers for HIP-3 markets. And if Stars make it to mainnet, it'll be interesting to see how deployers use them. Definitely something worth watching. 👀 NFA. DYOR. #DailyOrbit
