The protocol has raised $1.7 million to date, with investors including RockawayX, No Limit Holdings, Nucleus, Duplicate Capital, and Dumpster.

Staking and locking features will launch shortly after the token generation event, with rewards derived from reserve factors and distributed based on participation. The team emphasized that HPL has not yet officially launched and reminded users to only trust information released through official channels.
