Hyperliquid: New fee system and staking tiers to be enabled on May 5

TechFlow news, April 29 — According to an official announcement from Hyperliquid, the platform will launch a new fee system and staking tier structure on May 5 at 03:00 UTC. Key changes in the new system include: staking HYPE tokens to reduce trading fees, separate fee schedules for perpetual contracts and spot trading, and double weighting for spot trading volume when calculating fee tiers.

In addition, Hyperliquid stated that the feature linking staking accounts with trading accounts has already gone live on the testnet. This function allows users to apply staking benefits from one account to other trading accounts and is expected to roll out shortly after the new fee system launches.
