Hyperliquid fees and builder fees

Understand Hyperliquid trading fees, Proliquid builder fees, VIP discounts, and how trading costs are calculated before placing orders.

Total trading cost is the Hyperliquid trading fee plus the Proliquid builder fee when the order action supports builder fees.

total trading cost = Hyperliquid trading fee + Proliquid builder fee

Hyperliquid trading fees are exchange-level fees. Proliquid builder fees are app-level fees approved during wallet connection and discounted by your Proliquid VIP tier.

Fees at a glance

Total fee	Sum of the Hyperliquid fee and Proliquid builder fee when both apply.

Proliquid VIP builder fee tiers

Proliquid VIP tiers are based on linked-wallet eligible volume. Eligible volume combines Proliquid 30-day builder-fill volume with recent Hyperliquid volume while deduping overlapping Proliquid 14-day volume.

VIP tier	Linked-wallet eligible volume	Discount	Builder fee
VIP0	$0	0%	0.0200%
VIP1	$3,000,000	15%	0.0170%
VIP2	$10,000,000	35%	0.0130%
VIP3	$30,000,000	55%	0.0090%
VIP4	$100,000,000	75%	0.0050%

VIP fee math

Proliquid starts from a 0.0200% builder fee and applies the VIP discount:

executed builder fee = 0.0200% * (1 - discount / 100)

For each linked wallet, eligible volume is calculated as:

eligible volume = Proliquid 30d + max(Hyperliquid 14d volume - Proliquid 14d, 0)

Hyperliquid 14-day volume uses the userCross and userAdd values from Hyperliquid fee data. Because Hyperliquid volume includes trades routed through Proliquid, only the Hyperliquid 14-day volume above Proliquid 14-day volume is added on top of Proliquid 30-day volume. Per-wallet eligible volume is then summed across linked wallets. Progress to the next tier is calculated between the current tier threshold and the next tier threshold. If you are already VIP4, progress is complete and remaining volume is $0.

VIP examples

Eligible volume	Tier	Builder fee	Next-tier status
$6,500,000	VIP1	0.0170%	50% from VIP1 to VIP2, $3,500,000 remaining
$50,000,000	VIP3	0.0090%	$50,000,000 remaining to VIP4
$120,000,000	VIP4	0.0050%	Max tier reached

Trade cost example

For a $10,000 perp taker trade at the official Hyperliquid base taker rate of 0.045%, the Hyperliquid trading fee is $4.50.

VIP tier	Hyperliquid fee	Builder fee rate	Builder fee	Combined example
VIP0	$4.50	0.0200%	$2.00	$6.50
VIP4	$4.50	0.0050%	$0.50	$5.00

This example uses the base Hyperliquid perps taker rate for illustration. Your actual Hyperliquid fee can be lower or different depending on your exchange fee tier, maker/taker behavior, staking, referrals, and market rules.

Hyperliquid trading fees

Hyperliquid publishes the official fee schedule. Base examples include:

Market	Base taker	Base maker
Perps	0.045%	0.015%
Spot	0.070%	0.040%

Official Hyperliquid fees can change with rolling 14-day weighted volume, maker/taker behavior, HYPE staking tier, maker rebates, referrals, HIP-3 settings, growth mode, and special spot quote rules. Use Hyperliquid fees as the source of truth for the full matrix.

Builder-fee approval

During wallet connection, Proliquid asks you to approve the maximum builder-fee rate. Your VIP tier can reduce the executed builder fee below that approved maximum on supported order actions.

Hyperliquid builder-code permissions can be managed from Hyperliquid. Use the official Hyperliquid builder codes documentation for exchange-level behavior and revocation details.

For how builder-fee approval fits into the wallet connection flow, see Security and wallet safety.

Review fees before trading large size. Small percentage differences can become meaningful when notional size or trading frequency increases.
