Hyperliquid charges 0.024% maker and 0.045% taker — competitive with major CEXs, cheaper than most perp DEXs. Here is the full fee structure.
Hyperliquid's fee structure is one of its key competitive advantages. At 0.024% maker and 0.045% taker for standard users, it is cheaper than most perpetuals DEXs and competitive with Tier-2 centralized exchanges. High-volume traders receive additional fee discounts. The maker fee can become negative (a rebate) for the highest volume tiers, meaning market makers actually earn fees rather than paying them. This incentivizes deep liquidity provision and is a primary reason Hyperliquid has attracted professional market makers.
70%+ of all decentralized perpetuals volume runs through Hyperliquid — here is why.
No KYC, no custodian. Connect a wallet and trade perpetuals on-chain in minutes.
Maker orders add liquidity (limit orders not immediately filled). Taker orders remove liquidity (market orders, or limit orders that fill immediately). Maker fees are lower.
In the Hyperliquid interface, navigate to fees to see your current tier based on 30-day volume. Higher volume unlocks lower fees.
Placing limit orders at or below current price (for buys) pays the 0.024% maker fee rather than 0.045% taker. This saves 0.021% per trade — meaningful at scale.
For perpetuals, funding rates add to or subtract from your position cost depending on direction. Check funding before entering multi-day positions.
At $100K monthly volume: Hyperliquid total fees ~$45-85 depending on maker/taker mix. Compare to your current CEX at equivalent volume.

"At my volume, the maker fee advantage on Hyperliquid vs the exchange I previously used represents thousands of dollars per month in savings. Combined with self-custody and comparable execution quality, the economics are compelling."
"Using limit orders exclusively to capture maker fees. At 0.024% vs 0.045%, I\'m saving 47% on fees just by being patient with entries. The fee structure rewards disciplined trading."
"For my lower volume, the fees are not dramatically different from other platforms. The self-custody advantage is the primary reason I use Hyperliquid, not the fee savings. Both are genuine benefits though."
