# HYPED FAQ **Q: How does Hyperdrive make money from HYPED?** A: Hyperdrive does not intend to monetize the HYPED LST. It was created as a public good for the Hyperliquid community to access $HYPE liquid staking in the safest and most cost-efficient way possible. \ \ **Q: How is Hyperdrive the safest?** A: HYPED operates 100% on-chain by using Precompiles and CoreWriter to read and execute transactions. All processes are done on-chain. Certain LSTs are custodial or use off-chain processes to update contract balances, which are risk vectors.\ \ **Q: Why is there a redemption cost?**\ \ A: Redemption costs are in place to fund on-chain gas costs and prevent DDOS attacks.\ \ **Q: What is the redemption cost?**\ \ A: 0.01% or 1 HYPE for the entire batch of withdrawals, whichever is lower.\ \ **Q: How long are withdrawals?**\ \ A: Withdrawals are batched every 36 hours and have a 7 day unstaking time. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
