Jeff Yan: Our Vision Is to Power Global Finance with Consumer-Grade Hardware

On October 15, 2026, Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan said on Bloomberg’s Odd Lots podcast that his vision is to power the global financial system with consumer-grade hardware rather than massive data centers. He emphasized that running the network should remain affordable, regardless of how many applications are built on it. Nodes currently require 128GB of RAM, which he considers a reasonable balance between hardware requirements and the network’s needs.
