Quick personal story — and yes, it involves sweatpants, a late-night panic attack, and a risky (but calculated) move that might pay off big time.
A few weeks ago, I logged into my wallet thinking I’d check on my Cetus liquidity provider position real quick. You know how that went. Cetus, the main decentralized exchange on Sui Network, reported a $220 million hack... I thought I had lost my LP funds in Cetus… About $2000... Not my life savings, but...
That sinking feeling when you see the news about the exploit. Millions gone. My heart dropped. I wasn’t alone — a lot of us got hit hard. It wasn’t just the money; it was the trust. We believed in Cetus as one of the pioneers on Sui. But they messed up. Bad.
Finally, they managed to refill the LPs with the help of Sui Foundation. So I could get my funds back. But the trust was gone, I didn't want to stay there.
So after a long walk (and maybe a little too much coffee), I decided to start fresh somewhere else. That’s when I turned my attention to Hyperion on Aptos.
Why Hyperion?
- Roadmap is legit: They’ve been quietly building with solid dev activity and have some major upgrades planned this year — including a token launch.
- Potential Airdrop?: If you’re swapping or providing liquidity now, there’s strong speculation around a future token airdrop. Sound familiar? Yeah, like most early DEX rewards.
- Clean track record: Unlike what happened with Cetus, Hyperion hasn’t had any major security issues so far. Let's hope it stays that way — and that they actually learn from Cetus’ mistakes.
They’re still early, but that’s exactly why I’m in.
