by cookedhyperliquid referral code: the 4% discount and how to add it
A Hyperliquid referral code cuts 4% off your fees for your first $25M of volume. Our code is APEBRIEF. Enter it on the referrals page after your first deposit and before your first fill, or come through a join link, which does the same thing.
It's free. For more ways to pay less, like limit orders that fill as maker, see the fees page.
making it stick
Deposit before you enter the code. On an account with nothing deposited, the referrals page's Enter Code window has no code field, only a "Need to Deposit" button.
- Sign up with email ("Log in with Email" heads Hyperliquid's Connect window) or with a wallet, on the account you will actually trade from. Sub-accounts and vaults are excluded from the discount, so the code has to sit on the account that places the orders.
- Deposit. where deposit is on hyperliquid covers the button and what it accepts; which chain to send from is its own page.
- Open Referrals, press Enter Code and type APEBRIEF, before your first fill.
The other route is a join link, like the one below.

For a $10,000 position that is opened and closed with market orders, at the base perp taker rate of 0.045%:
| Cost of the round trip | |
|---|---|
| No code | $9.00 |
| With any referral code | $8.64 |
| What the code saved you | $0.36 |
Thirty-six cents. Use it anyway, because it costs you nothing and it is the only free thing on the screen. But anyone selling you their code as a reason to pick a venue is describing $0.36.
where the discount does not apply
- Sub-accounts and vaults. Hyperliquid treats them as separate accounts, so the code doesn't cover them.
- Apps built on Hyperliquid. They can add a builder fee, up to 0.1% on perps and 1% on spot. If your fee looks high on one of them, check that first.
- Past $25M of your volume. The discount ends there.

Using this code takes 4% off your Hyperliquid fees for your first $25M of volume, which trading without a code does not. We get a commission from Hyperliquid, which helps support our work, at no extra cost to you. We might add tools for people who used our code.
Tapping the button puts APEBRIEF on your clipboard and opens Hyperliquid. Where the signup shows a code field, paste it there.
People also ask
Did the Hyperliquid code attach?
Enter a code on the referrals page or arrive by link, per the docs. What that page shows once a code is set, and whether it applies to an account that already traded, is not something we have seen yet.
the full answerHyperliquid referral code
Entered on the referrals page or by link. 4% off taker fees for your first $25M, per the docs. Not for vaults or sub-accounts. Not an Axiom code.
the full answerHyperliquid taker fee?
Base perp taker 0.045%, maker 0.015%, 14-day tiers. A referral is a fee cut on the first stretch of volume. Not a cut of the notional. This page does not send you to Axiom.
