Having just completed a reverse engineering effort on Pump.fun contracts, ai16z co-founder and Eliza Labs founder Shaw Walters has now set his sights on Hyperliquid.

He recently launched the hyperliquid-source project on GitHub, aiming to build a fully open-source Hyperliquid node that can be compiled from source and connected to the network. It already has 44 contributors. The repository also stresses that this is independent research, not an official source code release, and that there is currently no node that can be run.

The backstory is not without complications: Shaw previously said he had nearly finished reverse-engineering Pump.fun's contracts, but Pump.fun's parent company, Bracket Company, later sent him a cease-and-desist letter demanding that he stop the related activities and not publish the code. The repository can no longer be found by searching his GitHub page.

Open-source nodes can help improve protocol transparency, but the boundaries between community research, intellectual property, and network compliance do not simply disappear when code is made public. Whether Hyperliquid responds and whether the project can continue are the key questions going forward.
