Spot and perpetual order books. The trading balance is on HyperCore.

Hyperliquid: HyperCore, HyperEVM and apps
Hyperliquid is an independent Layer 1. HyperCore runs spot and perpetual order books, while HyperEVM runs EVM contracts. Both use HyperBFT consensus.

Hyperliquid Mainnet: two execution environments
HyperCore runs native trading; HyperEVM runs smart contracts. They share Hyperliquid consensus, while the balances used by each environment are recorded separately.

First deposit and trade
Reach your first trade and account for its costs
To trade on HyperCore with a connected wallet, prepare native USDC and ETH on Arbitrum, then use Deposit in Hyperliquid. Email login uses a different deposit route. HyperEVM is a separate environment with gas paid in HYPE: a HyperCore balance does not itself pay for HyperEVM transactions.
-
USDC and ETH on Arbitrum
For a connected wallet, the standard Deposit route accepts USDC from Arbitrum. Check native USDC against Circle’s contract list and keep ETH on Arbitrum for the deposit transaction.
-
Deposit into HyperCore
Connect your wallet in the official interface and use Deposit. This route has a minimum deposit of 5 USDC; a smaller transfer is lost. Check the conditions before sending.
-
Position size and tariff
After the deposit arrives, check collateral and position size separately. Allow for opening and closing fees; holding a perpetual position also adds funding.
Two budgets, one route
Calculation snapshot: 08.10.2026 04:10 MSK
Trading interface: Hyperliquid official interface · 0.045% + 0.045%
Withdrawal fees used in the calculation: HTX: 0.0527 USDC; HTX: 0.0002 ETH. Conversion quotes: USDC = 1.0003 USDT; ETH = 2573.735 USDT. Checked 08.10.2026 04:10 MSK. The example assumes 1 USDT = $1; this is a conversion assumption, not a separate USDT/USD quote.
| Starting budget | $100.00 | $1000.00 |
|---|---|---|
| Gas reserve, within the budget | $12.87 | $12.87 |
| Position size | $86.52 | $986.12 |
| Exchange withdrawals | $0.57 | $0.57 |
| Trading fee | $0.08 | $0.89 |
| Accounted costs | $0.65 | $1.45 |
| Amount before other costs | $99.35 | $998.55 |
An illustrative opening and closing of the same position size at 1× leverage and an unchanged price. Exchange withdrawals and the tier 0 base taker tariff for validator-operated perpetuals are included: 0.045% for opening and closing. Volume, staking and referral discounts are not applied; third-party interface fees, spot and HIP-3 markets are outside this tariff. Arbitrum deposit gas, slippage, funding and a later withdrawal from Hyperliquid are excluded; this is not a return calculation.
The reserve amount is an assumption in this example, not a required amount for every trade. It remains part of your balance: only the amount spent becomes a cost. The last row is an upper bound after the accounted fees, before network costs and price changes. It is not a net trading result.

Before transferring
Can I deposit into Hyperliquid from Base?
It depends on your login method. For a connected wallet, standard Deposit accepts USDC over Arbitrum. With email login, the current Across route supports USDC from Arbitrum, Base, Ethereum and Polygon. Use the address and conditions shown by your chosen deposit method.
What happens to a deposit below 5 USDC?
With a connected wallet, a deposit below 5 USDC is lost. With email login, an amount below 5 USDC is not credited to HyperCore and is redirected to the email wallet; an amount below 1 USDC is lost. Check the current minimum in the interface before transferring.
Can a HyperCore balance be used by a HyperEVM app?
Balances do not move automatically. HyperEVM needs HYPE for gas, and the asset must support the chosen transfer route. Circle’s native USDC on HyperEVM and USDC on HyperCore cannot be treated as interchangeable just because their tickers match; transfers between the environments can also cost gas.
Does a gas-free order mean free trading?
Trading fees, possible third-party interface fees and funding are separate costs. With leverage, position size differs from collateral; compare tariffs on the same turnover.

USDC and USDT0 reach different balances
Native USDC on HyperEVM connects to HyperCore through the Hyperliquid app. USDT0 has its own deployments and transfer route. Select the destination environment as well as the token.
Native USDC on HyperEVM

| Asset | Where it is held | How it reaches the other environment |
|---|---|---|
| USDC on HyperCore | Trading balance | Use the USDC deposit or withdrawal flow for HyperEVM in the Hyperliquid app |
| Native USDC on HyperEVM | ERC-20 balance in the wallet | Deposit to HyperCore through the Hyperliquid app |
| USDT0 on HyperEVM | ERC-20 balance in the wallet | Use EVM ↔ Core Transfer for the linked USDT0 token |
Getting in and out
To trade, fund HyperCore through Deposit in the trading interface. One route uses USDC from Arbitrum, with ETH for the deposit gas. USDC transfers through CCTP are also available.

- They have separate balances. Use EVM ↔ Core Transfer to move assets between them; an exchange may support only one. Source ↗

Move HYPE to the environment where it will be spent
HYPE in a HyperCore Spot balance and HYPE in a HyperEVM wallet serve different operations. Use EVM ↔ Core Transfer to move it; the interface shows the source and destination balances.
Spot balance
Buy HYPE through the order book, then transfer it to HyperEVM for app transactions.
Gas balance
Keep HYPE in the HyperEVM wallet to submit transfers and call contracts. A transfer back to Core also consumes HYPE.
Wallets
The trading interface supports EVM wallets and email sign-in. Add HyperEVM to your wallet to use its apps.

Where HyperEVM transaction fees go
HyperEVM burns both the base fee and the priority fee paid in HYPE. Trading fees on HyperCore belong to a separate mechanism; a USDC or USDT0 balance pays for the asset operation while HYPE pays HyperEVM gas.
Costs when entering the ecosystem
A trade
Trading does not charge gas. Trading fees are accounted for separately.
A HyperEVM transaction
Contract calls consume HYPE for gas.
A deposit from Arbitrum
Sending USDC through this route requires ETH on the source network.
