Maker Rebates and Fee Tiers
Maker rebates are fee refunds that Hyperliquid pays to traders who add liquidity to the order book using limit orders. Auto analyzes your current fee tier, rebate rate, and volume needed to reach the next tier.
How Do Maker Rebates Work on Hyperliquid?
Hyperliquid pays rebates to makers (liquidity providers) and charges fees to takers (liquidity removers). This means limit orders that rest on the book earn money instead of costing money.
Taker
Removes liquidity (market orders, crossing the spread)
Pays a fee
Maker
Adds liquidity (limit orders that rest on the book)
Receives a rebate
A limit order qualifies as a maker order when it does not fill immediately upon placement. It sits on the order book until another trader fills against it, and the maker earns a rebate on that fill.
How Does Auto Analyze Maker Rebate Opportunities?
Auto reads your Hyperliquid account data and calculates your current rebate earnings, tier status, and optimization path.
"Analyze my maker rebate opportunity on Hyperliquid"
"What's my current fee tier?"
"How can I earn more from maker rebates?"
Auto displays:
Your 14-day rolling trading volume — the metric Hyperliquid uses for tier calculation
Your current fee tier — where you stand in the tier system
Your maker rebate rate — the exact percentage you earn per maker fill
Volume to next tier — how much additional trading volume upgrades your rebate
What Determines Your Rebate Rate?
Your maker rebate rate depends on two factors: your 14-day trading volume and your HYPE staking tier. Higher volume and more staked HYPE produce better rebates. See HYPE Staking for staking tier details.
How to Maximize Maker Rebates
Four practices increase maker rebate earnings on Hyperliquid.
Use limit orders instead of market orders. Market orders are taker orders and incur fees. Limit orders that rest on the book earn rebates.
Set prices that don't fill immediately. Place limit orders slightly away from the current market price so they rest on the book before filling.
Trade consistently to build volume. Fee tiers are based on rolling 14-day volume, so steady activity maintains or improves your tier.
Stake HYPE for better fee tiers. HYPE staking unlocks higher rebate rates at every volume level (see HYPE Staking).
Example Workflow
You: "Analyze my maker rebate opportunity"
Auto: Shows your 14-day volume, current tier, rebate rate, and volume needed for the next tier upgrade
Auto provides analysis only—you adjust your trading style based on the data.
