Hyperliquid Resumes Trading After Server Overload Disruption
Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange, faced a temporary trading halt on July 30, 2025, due to server overload. The outage sparked initial fears of a security breach, but the team swiftly clarified the issue as technical rather than malicious.
Traders encountered frozen positions and order execution failures for several hours, triggering speculation across social platforms. The incident highlights scaling challenges for decentralized infrastructure amid growing demand.
Unlike recent hacks at WazirX and CoinDCX, Hyperliquid confirmed no funds were compromised. The platform restored full functionality within hours of the disruption, demonstrating responsive crisis management despite decentralized architecture constraints.
