Growth Mode

This section reflects Hyperliquid protocol rules. Parameters may change with network upgrades and validator decisions.

Growth mode is designed to bootstrap novel HIP‑3 markets by dramatically reducing fees.

What growth mode does

• ≥90% reduction in all‑in fees

• rebates and volume contributions are also ≥90% lower

• applies on top of other multipliers (aligned collateral, staking discounts)

Conditions to enable growth mode

1. Deployer fee scale must be set between 0 and 1 (amount deployer keeps as a % of fees before other discounts).

2. Markets must be disjoint from existing validator‑operated perps to prevent parasitic volume.

Examples that are typically not eligible:

• crypto perps against any collateral

• perps on crypto indexes/ETFs/baskets

• perps on combinations including crypto assets

• wrappers primarily holding crypto assets

• duplicates of existing validator markets (e.g., gold if already tracked elsewhere)

Growth mode has a 30‑day cooldown per asset.

Fee ranges

Under growth mode, baseline taker fees can be roughly 5–10× lower than validator‑operated perps, depending on collateral alignment and volume tiers.

Ultimately, eligibility disputes may be resolved by onchain validator vote.
