Svmuu News Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan recently gave an exclusive feature interview to Colossos magazine. During the interview, Jeff and another co-founder of the company, iliensinc, discussed issues related to personal safety.
iliensinc revealed that Jeff is the only person on the team who does not use a pseudonym. Hyperliquid's office was initially located in a shared workspace in the financial district, but as Jeff's reputation grew, external attention towards them increased. It started with just some stares, with people trying to recognize Jeff's face; then strangers began approaching him to start conversations; later, someone followed him into the elevator of his apartment building. Consequently, Hyperliquid moved to a quieter location, a building where no one would think to look for them.
Jeff himself also moved to a more secure residence, hired bodyguards, and now travels with two private security personnel. iliensinc also repeatedly trains team members on how to respond if strangers ask where they work.
