Hyperliquid activates the automatic k fall mechanism for cross leverage.

Hyperliquid has activated the automatic cross-margin reduction mechanism for the first time (ADL), emphasizing the role of HLP and ADL in market risk management. HLP, or Hyperliquid Liquidity Provider, acts as a “backstop player” when a trader loses all their capital. If no one takes over the position, the HLP pool will use its own capital to maintain market operations, similar to a casino owner covering a poker table.

ADL is a protection mechanism that only activates under extreme market conditions to ensure the liquidity of the platform. This system automatically reduces the leverage positions of other traders to offset losses and prevent the risk of a chain collapse. The activation of ADL indicates that Hyperliquid is well-prepared for market pressure, while HLP and ADL create a safety net that balances user interests and platform security.
