Platform Revenue Overtakes Hyperliquid

The two platforms are measured differently on DefiLlama. Pump’s figure covers bonding curve fees, PumpSwap protocol fees and Terminal fees. Hyperliquid’s figure mainly reflects fees routed to its Assistance Fund for HYPE purchases.

A separate source puts the unlock figure at 7.07 billion PUMP on Aug. 14.
