Golden Finance reports that the Hyper Foundation has stated on social media that it proposes to conduct a validator vote to officially acknowledge that the aid fund HYPE has been destroyed and these tokens are permanently removed from circulation and total supply. For background information, the aid fund automatically converts transaction fees into HYPE during the L1 execution process. Similar to a zero address, the system address of the aid fund has never possessed the private key to control its funds. Unless a hard fork occurs, the funds are mathematically irretrievable. A "yes" vote indicates that validators agree to destroy the aid fund HYPE tokens. Since these tokens exist in a system address without a private key, no on-chain operation is necessary. This vote constitutes a binding social consensus that will never authorize any protocol upgrades to access this address.
