Meet @qwatio — the only trader on Hyperliquid with a story more thrilling than James Wynn. He was liquidated 6 times in just 3 days recently, losing ~$10M. 1/ Let's take a look at his wild journey on Hyperliquid.
3/ He took advantage of Hyperliquid's mechanics to open massive positions with 50x leverage. After pulling out all margin and profits, he let 160,234 $ETH($306.85M) get liquidated, leaving the Hyperliquidity Provider (HLP) to absorb the loss. Hyperliquid then reduced the maximum leverage of $ETH to 25x to prevent this from happening again.
4/ Later, someone followed @qwatio's playbook, manipulating the price of $JELLY(jellyjelly) to make profits, causing losses to the Hyperliquidity Provider (HLP) again.

A massive whale with 124.6M $JELLY($4.85M) is manipulating the price of $JELLY(jellyjelly) to make Hyperliquidity Provider (HLP) face a loss of $12M! He first dumped $JELLY, crashing the price and leaving HLP with a passive short position of 398M $JELLY($15.3M). Then he bought $JELLY back, driving the price up—causing HLP to suffer a loss of nearly $12M.
