We started with a private trading gateway for algorithmic traders because that is where the need is clearest. Serious teams want Hyperliquid's liquidity, speed, API, and lowest protocol-available fees without broadcasting wallet-linked strategy, inventory, and execution flow. Prime brokers give clients economies of scale by pooling activity to win lower fees than any single account could. HyperLink brings that to Hyperliquid, aggregating volume and HYPE staking across users to reach the lowest fee rates available to the protocol. The broader goal is a Hyperliquid-native VIP trading experience: familiar API access, self-custodied exits, and infrastructure built by traders, for traders. For users, HyperLink makes Hyperliquid feel like a professional venue. For the ecosystem, it helps bring more serious flow on-chain without leaving Hyperliquid's markets. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
