Updates 📰

• Hyperliquid is introducing Staking Tiers, where users staking HYPE will receive reduced trading fees. The new fee system, launching on or after April 30, will feature separate schedules for perps and spot, with spot volume counting double toward fee tiers.

  • Even without staking, fees will remain lower than most CEXs. The update is expected to increase protocol revenue while adding more utility for HYPE.

  • Funds will be managed by Gauntlet within pre-set parameters while governance retains control.

• The Uniswap community has approved funding for Unichain and Uniswap v4 liquidity incentives, allocating 7.59M UNI to an Aera vault under governance oversight.
