Hyperliquid sets the trading fee by your weighted volume over the last 14 days, with spot volume counting double. Perpetuals and spot have separate tiers, and fees are assessed daily at the end of the day (UTC).
| Transaction | Cost at Hyperliquid |
|---|---|
| Perpetuals, entry tier 0 | 0.015% maker, 0.045% taker |
| Perpetuals, tier 1 above USD 5 million | 0.012% maker, 0.040% taker |
| Perpetuals, tier 4 above USD 500 million | 0% maker, 0.028% taker |
| Perpetuals, tier 6 above USD 7 billion | 0% maker, 0.024% taker |
| Spot, entry tier 0 | 0.040% maker, 0.070% taker |
| Maker rebate above 0.5% share of maker volume | credit of 0.001% to 0.003% |
| HYPE staking | 5% discount above 10 HYPE up to 40% above 500,000 HYPE |
| Referral code | 4% discount on the first USD 25 million of volume |
| Orders and trading on the native layer 1 | no gas fee |
| USDC deposit | network fee of the source chain, e.g. Arbitrum |
| First transfer to a new Hyperliquid account | one-off activation fee of 1 USDC |
How to save: Limit orders as a maker cost a third of the taker fee in the entry tier: on a USD 10,000 position that is USD 1.50 instead of USD 4.50. Staking just over 100 HYPE cuts both rates by 10%, and a referral code takes off another 4%. We compare other decentralised derivatives exchanges and their fees in our perp DEX comparison.

AI AnalysisFees & Costs
The entry tier is 0.015% maker and 0.045% taker. Across six further tiers based on 14-day volume, the taker fee falls to 0.024% and the maker fee drops to 0% above USD 500 million; market makers with more than 0.5% of maker volume also receive a rebate. Further discounts come from HYPE staking (5 to 40%) and a referral code (4%). Orders on the native layer 1 cost no gas, so the trading fee reflects the actual cost. As of 22 October 2026.
Opening and closing a position each cost around 0.06%, with ongoing funding costs on top. Network fees on Solana sit well below a cent per transaction and are effectively negligible. A large share of fees flows to providers of pool liquidity. As of August 2026.
Usability & User Experience
The interface follows classic futures terminals and assumes working knowledge of margin, funding and liquidation prices. Access is by wallet connection or email login, with no account opening. As of October 2026.
The interface is among the most approachable in this comparison and navigable for newcomers. A Solana wallet is required; there is no registration step. As of August 2026.
Features & Offering
More than 170 perpetual markets trade against USDC collateral. Besides market and limit orders there are stop, take-profit, scale and trailing-stop orders as well as TWAP execution, which splits larger positions into suborders at least 30 seconds apart. That feature is usually reserved for institutional interfaces. Margin can be run cross (the default) or isolated. As of October 2026.
Perpetual trading runs against the JLP pool, which bundles several underlying assets and stablecoins. The offering concentrates on the major pairs; very high leverage tiers arrived on selected pairs in 2026. The aggregator additionally opens up spot trading across Solana. As of August 2026.

Verdict
In our overall rating Hyperliquid leads with 4.8 against 4.0 for Jupiter.
For most investors Hyperliquid is therefore the better choice.
Hyperliquid is the reference point among perpetual DEXs. Trading runs through an order book held entirely on-chain on a purpose-built layer 1 rather than through an AMM pool, which in practice delivers execution close to a centralised exchange while custody stays with the user.
Entry-tier fees are 0.015% maker and 0.045% taker and fall further across volume tiers; staking HYPE reduces them again. No network fees apply on the native layer 1. Leverage is tiered by market: up to 40x on Bitcoin and considerably lower on smaller markets.
The regulatory picture is straightforward: Hyperliquid holds no EU authorisation, and perpetuals sit outside MiCA in any case. There is no withholding at source, so tax reporting rests entirely with the user. The platform suits experienced traders who weight self-custody and execution quality above regulatory protection.
Jupiter is the central trading venue on Solana and built its perpetuals as part of a wider ecosystem. As with GMX, trades run against a liquidity pool — here the JLP pool, which bundles Solana, Ethereum, Bitcoin and stablecoins and recently stood at around 1.4 billion US dollars.
In practice Solana plays to its strengths: network fees sit at a fraction of a cent and execution is fast. Trading fees run around 0.06% on open and close, plus funding costs on open positions. Very high leverage tiers arrived on selected pairs in 2026.
The constraint is breadth: perpetual trading concentrates on the major pairs around SOL, ETH and BTC, so anyone looking for a wide altcoin perpetual list is in the wrong place. For users already active on Solana, Jupiter is the obvious route. The platform holds no EU authorisation; perpetuals sit outside MiCA in any case, and tax reporting rests entirely with the user.
