đź“Š Real-Time Fee Estimation
Hypertrade displays live network fee estimates before you execute. The actual fee is set by the Hyperliquid network based on congestion; we always show you the exact cost before confirming.
⚡ Gas Fee Optimization
Smart routing can use multi-hop or split routes to reduce slippage, even if gas is slightly higher. The router compares gas vs price improvement and only suggests routes that maximize your net return.
Fee Comparison
Hypertrade's zero-fee model and low gas costs provide unmatched value versus DEX aggregators and exchanges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Hypertrade charge any swap fees?
â–Ľ
No. Hypertrade charges zero platform fees on all swaps. You only pay the standard Hyperliquid network gas fee. This typically costs $0.001-$0.05 depending on route complexity and network congestion.
How we make money: API partnerships, optional premium features for institutional users, and strategic partnerships—never a cut of your trading profits.
What are network fees and why do I pay them?
â–Ľ
Network fees (gas) are paid to Hyperliquid validators to process and secure transactions.
Key points: paid to validators (not Hypertrade), dynamic by congestion, typically 99% cheaper than Ethereum, always shown before you confirm.
Why do some swaps cost more in gas fees than others?
â–Ľ
Gas varies by route complexity and congestion:
• Simple swaps: ~$0.001-$0.01
• Multi-hop swaps: ~$0.01-$0.03
• Split orders: ~$0.03-$0.05
• High congestion: may increase temporarily
Our router only suggests complex routes when price improvement outweighs added gas.
How do underlying DEX fees work?
â–Ľ
Each DEX has its own fee (typically 0.01%-0.3%), paid to LPs. Example $10k USDC→ETH:
• DEX fee 0.3%: $30 → LPs
• Network gas: ~$0.01 → validators
• Hypertrade platform fee: $0
Total: ~$30.01, often offset by better routing/slippage savings.
Are there volume discounts or fee tiers?
â–Ľ
No platform fee tiers needed—platform fee is 0%. Network fees are independent of volume.
Underlying DEX fees scale with trade size. Hyperliquid fee tiers apply on HyperCore Spot directly. API partners can earn revenue share (98.5%).
How does the API revenue share work?
â–Ľ
API integrators earn 98.5% of revenue from swaps executed via their integration; Hypertrade keeps 1.5%.
How it works: integrate API, users swap via your key, volume is tracked, payouts in USDC, no minimum volume.
Can fees change in the future?
â–Ľ
Zero platform fees are core to our mission. No plans to introduce swap fees for individual users.
What can change: network gas (by congestion), underlying DEX fees (protocol governance), optional premium features, future partner terms (grandfathered for existing).
