everyone buzzing about a proposal that's changing the game in DeFi. He called it a "masterclass of strategic partnerships proposal" and insisted it's mandatory reading for anyone in growth or business development in crypto and DeFi. High praise from a guy who's deeply invested in the future of onchain economies!

The tweet in question quotes a post from Ethena Labs' founder, G | Ethena (@gdog97_), linking to a detailed Mirror article outlining the USDH proposal. For those new to this, Ethena is a powerhouse in synthetic dollar protocols, and Hyperliquid is a high-performance blockchain focused on decentralized perpetuals trading. Their collaboration? It's aiming to launch USDH as a Hyperliquid-first stablecoin, backed entirely by USDtb—a compliant stablecoin issued in partnership with Anchorage Digital Bank and indirectly supported by BlackRock's BUIDL fund.

Let's break it down simply: USDH starts with 100% backing from USDtb to ensure top-tier security and regulatory compliance right out of the gate. Ethena's committing at least 95% of the net revenue from USDH reserves back to the Hyperliquid community—think buying up HYPE tokens (Hyperliquid's native token) and boosting their Assistance Fund. If you're a HYPE staker delegating to supportive validators, you might even see direct distributions. That's not just talk; it's a concrete way to align incentives and grow the ecosystem together.

What makes this proposal stand out, as Arthur_0x points out, is the strategic depth. Ethena's covering migration costs if the community wants to switch quote pairs from USDC to USDH, and they've got a guardian network of elected Hyperliquid validators (potentially including LayerZero) to oversee security. No single point of failure here—it's all about distributed trust. Plus, they're dangling big incentives: up to $150 million in cash and tokens for front-ends integrating Ethena products, with half the fees funneled back to Hyperliquid.

The partnerships are star-studded too. Anchorage Digital Bank brings OCC-chartered credibility, BlackRock adds institutional weight through Robert Mitchnick's endorsement, and players like Securitize (tokenizing RWAs), Unit (asset tokenization), Based (front-end), and Liminal (delta-neutral strategies) are all in. They're even planning hUSDe, a Hyperliquid-native synthetic dollar collateralized by onchain assets, to supercharge liquidity and stability.

Arthur_0x isn't alone in the hype—replies to his tweet echo the sentiment, with folks calling it next-level and a must-read. One user even spotted potential trades involving $ENA (Ethena's token) and $ZDLT, while others debate if it's a smart play for HYPE over ENA. Whether you're a DeFi practitioner or just dipping your toes into meme tokens and onchain finance (hey, HYPE has that viral energy), this proposal shows how thoughtful collaborations can drive real value.

If you're in crypto business dev, head over to the full Mirror proposal and Arthur's original tweet. It's a blueprint for how DeFi can scale securely and community-first. What's your take—game-changer or just another pitch?
