I don’t think Hyperliquid ever needs to geo distribute its validators. The multisig needs to be addressed, and with the Circle inclusion it’s looking more likely than not that that will be resolved soon. But the colocated validators are literally part of what makes hyperliquid hyperliquid. Liveness is certainly at risk, but as a user, I’d prefer a 5x better UX 99.9% of the time and accept the occasional downtime that might occur as a tradeoff. I’m sure market makers would prefer this as well. You can add more colo’d permissionless validators overtime but to ask HL to become a fully distributed blockchain is to ask it to change what made it so successful in the first place. It’s just a different product.
