Trading Fees

Understand easy.fun trading fees, Hyperliquid base rates, and how Kernel Points reduce your costs.

Trading fees on easy.fun consist of two components

  • Hyperliquid Base Fee (set by the HL protocol)

  • easy.fun Markup (applied on top of HL fees, reduced by Kernel Points Level)

Hyperliquid Base Fee (HL Protocol)

  • Futures: Maker 0.015%, Taker 0.045% (progressively lower at higher HL tiers).

  • Fee Tiering: Based on 14-day rolling volume (Spot volume is weighted ×2).

  • HYPE Staking Discount: Staking HYPE provides 5%–40% fee discount on HL base fees.

easy.fun Markup

  • +1.00% on Spot trades.

  • +0.05% on Futures trades.

  • Markup is progressively reduced as your Kernel Points Level increases.

Effective Trading Fee

Hyperliquid Base Fee (after tier/discounts) + easy.fun Markup (after Kernel Points reduction)As your trading balance grows, you unlock higher HL tiers (lower base fees) and higher Kernel Points Levels (lower markup + better reward multipliers).

Takeaways

  • Futures maker fees can be very competitive when combined with HL staking discounts.

  • Futures taker fees remain relatively low compared to Spot taker trades.

Notes & Disclaimer

  • Maker rebates may apply at high maker-volume shares; these are not included in the above examples.

  • Fees, discounts, and tiering rules are subject to change without prior notice. Always refer to the official Hyperliquid fee schedule for the latest rates.

How Fees Are Calculated

As your Kernel points balance increases, you unlock higher levels that raise the trading-points multiplier and progressively reduce fees.

Points Multiplier shows how much faster you earn Kernel Points at each level — for example, 2.0x means you earn twice as many points per trade.
