Fees
Trading on Hypersight involves two layers of fees: Hyperliquid’s protocol fees (which you’d pay trading on Hyperliquid anywhere) and a small Hypersight fee on top.
Hyperliquid protocol fees
Hyperliquid charges a taker/maker fee on fills. Standard base rates are:
| Market | Taker | Maker |
|---|---|---|
| Perps | 0.045% | 0.015% |
| Spot | 0.070% | 0.040% |
Your effective rate can be lower — Hyperliquid applies discounts for:
- VIP / volume tiers — higher 14-day volume lowers your rate.
- Staking — staking HYPE earns a fee discount.
- Referrals — trading under a referral code gives a standing discount (see Referrals).
Hypersight always shows your real, post-discount rate in the order panel.
Maker vs taker. Adding liquidity (a resting limit order, especially post-only / ALO) pays the lower maker fee. Taking liquidity (a market order, or a limit that crosses the book) pays the taker fee.
Hypersight fee
Hypersight charges a builder fee of 0.025% on perp, spot, and prediction market orders. This is the only fee Hypersight earns on trading, and it’s collected through Hyperliquid’s native builder code mechanism — fully on-chain, transparent, and visible to you when you approve your trading agent.
The builder fee is approved once, up to a capped maximum, when you set up your trading agent. You can revoke that approval at any time from your wallet or Settings.
Swap & bridge fees
For Swap and Bridge, routing is provided by LI.FI, which includes a small integrator fee (around 0.15%) on top of the underlying DEX/bridge costs. The quote you see before confirming already includes all fees and shows the exact amount you’ll receive.
Deposits & withdrawals
Hypersight doesn’t add a fee to deposit or withdraw. You only pay the underlying network gas and any bridge cost, which is shown in the route quote before you confirm.
Prediction markets
Prediction markets settle in USDC on Hyperliquid and follow the same fee structure as spot: the Hyperliquid protocol fee plus the 0.025% Hypersight builder fee. There’s no extra, market-specific surcharge.
