Hyperliquid Gasless Trading – Deep Comparison, Fees, and 20 Optimized Strategies

· 7 min read

TL;DR Hyperliquid runs its own Layer-1 with two execution domains:

  • HyperCore — native on-chain central limit order book (CLOB), margin, funding, liquidations.
  • HyperEVM — standard EVM runtime (gas metered, paid in HYPE).

Trading on HyperCore is gasless: orders, cancels, TP/SL, TWAP, Scale ladders, etc. are signed actions included in consensus, not EVM transactions.

  • You don’t need HYPE to place/cancel orders.
  • You pay maker/taker fees and funding, not gas.
  • Spam is mitigated with address budgets, rate limits, open-order caps.
  • If you need more throughput: buy request weight at $0.0005 per action.

The design enables CEX-style strategies (dense ladders, queue dancing, rebates, hourly hedging) without the friction of gas.
