Hyperliquid announces new fee structure and staking tiers to go live on May 5

Hyperliquid officials stated in a post that the new fee system and collateral levels will go live around 03:00 on May 5th (UTC). The changes include:

1. Staking HYPE can reduce transaction fees;

2. Perpetual contracts and spot trades will have different fee standards;

3. Spot trading volume will be counted double when calculating fee levels.

The staking and trading account binding feature is now live on the testnet. This allows users to apply a staking discount from one account to another trading account. This feature is expected to go live shortly after the new fee system and collateral levels are implemented.
