Every builder on Hyperliquid is a developer team. Wickery is the package for creators who aren't.
$0 reversed, frozen, or renegotiated — ever. Not a policy promise: the architecture makes clawbacks impossible. That's ground solid enough to build a business on.

When you partner with Wickery, you become a Hyperliquid builder in your own right.
The audience-centric paradigm
You
You've got the audience.
The relationship, the reach, the trust. Already yours.
Wickery
You hire Wickery for the frontend and the routine.
The operational load: the terminal, new features, maintenance, hosting, the support desk, the app-store paperwork.
Hyperliquid
Wickery plugs into Hyperliquid for the order book and fund security.
A $7B/day order book; the protocol is the counterparty. The frontend never touches money.
Below are the problems this arrangement removes, for you and for your audience:
The referral deal problem
…immediately cut in half…
EVERY time my estimated commission value hits 00.0036 [BTC], it's immediately cut in half back down to 00.0017 [BTC]. Support ticket about the issue was closed without a response.
…stolen from me by the exchange.
When I started making $100,000 per day that's what triggered risk control. MEXC took some losses trading against me and decided they needed some of that profit back. I've personally had $40,000 stolen from me by the exchange.
…slapped with a '180-day Risk Control' freeze.
I am an official MEXC Affiliate Partner and Crypto Influencer… after I closed the trade with a large profit, my account was immediately slapped with a '180-day Risk Control' freeze.
…my funds… remain fully inaccessible.
@MEXC_Official froze my account due to a vague 'risk control' protocol, without prior notice, explanation, or any opportunity to cooperate… my funds — totaling $2,082,614 USDT — remain fully inaccessible.
Today all of a sudden without any explanation they have 'temporarily frozen' my assets for 'suspicious activity'.
Small rewards of 2$ or 5$ arrived without any issue… the moment larger rewards appeared – thousands of dollars from campaigns I fully qualified for – you immediately cancelled everything with the excuse 'security breach / risk control triggered'. No specific explanation, no evidence, no details provided.
On May 6, my account… was permanently banned and withdrawals were blocked without any warning. Around $15,000 was frozen overnight… the restriction reason was just shown as '-'. No explanation at all.
Halved, frozen, clawed back — every receipt above is the same story: a creator signed a referral arrangement, and the counterparty controls the terms.
Your audience is finite. Months 1–6 you onboard it. Months 7–12 the quarterly review downgrades your tier — a community that's already in can't produce enough new traders. Months 12–18 your best referrals hit VIP-3 and silently convert to $0.
You built the bridge. Your audience crossed it. The arrangement kept the audience and stopped paying the bridge-builder.

They were all describing the same thing — a trading interface whose revenue grows when the audience loses. That's the interface the exchange put in front of your audience, using your credibility as the delivery mechanism.
Here's how the loss-aligned interface is doing its job:
An audience that survives pays you for years. An audience that gets liquidated in 90 days pays you once.7

The full gambling parlor dossier — 97% Lose Money. The Interface Is Why. → (opens in new tab)
The interface, fixed
The terminal that ships at yourname.wickery.xyz (or your custom domain) is built on 5 years of iteration across $6.4B in volume, against the documented mechanisms by which standard interfaces convert trader cognitive bias into their losses:
Set your maximum loss in two clicks before you enter, or on a live position. No complex order forms. Risk management built into the workflow.
Every other interface blends your entries into one averaged position. "Averaging down" becomes the one-tap way to shrink the percentage loss on screen while the real risk grows: the interface exploiting your own psychology.
Define your risk appetite once: the share of your account you're prepared to lose on any single trade. The terminal sizes every position to match it. Not a calculation you redo per trade: an umbrella setting that holds your boundary for you in the heat of the moment.
A filled order is a neutral event. The 5.17% volume bump confetti produces15 is the difference between a trader who survives to month 12 and one who doesn't. Here, no noise, no dark patterns. Just the chart and your positions.
Total current risk as a single visible number: the maximum loss across every open position if every stop and liquidation fires from this moment forward. Nobody shows it.
Set daily and weekly loss limits. The app enforces discipline so emotions don't have to.
When your audience survives, your fees compound. The architecture chose your audience's side because your incentive function is the same as theirs.

Why Wickery became possible
Until 2024, running your own exchange or trading app cost $1M+ and 12–18 months. Hyperliquid collapsed both to a 100 USDC permissionless stake and a wallet.
The math of what you'd earn
Drag the sliders — your community's trailing 14-day volume, and the builder fee you set. The math updates as you drag; the wallet enforces whatever tier the volume lands in.
| Your community's monthly volume | Your monthly take1 | vs. CEX referral29 |
|---|---|---|
| $500K | ~$225 | ~$75 |
| $2M | ~$900 | ~$300 |
| $5M | ~$2,250 | ~$750 |
| $10M | ~$3,750 | ~$1,500 |
| $25M | ~$9,375 | ~$3,750 |
1 Computed at the tier that actually applies at that volume — splits read your share / Wickery's commission: 90/10 through $5M/month; 75/25 at $10M and $25M, where trailing 14-day volume crosses the $3M threshold (~$6.5M/month steady-state). At a flat 90/10 the $10M row would read ~$4,500 — we show the number the wallet would enforce, not the bigger one.

How it works
Required by Hyperliquid protocol, not by Wickery. It goes to your wallet: your own Hyperliquid perps account. We do not collect it. We cannot access it.
This removes the "what's the catch" question.
yourname.wickery.xyz live in under 20 minutes. Custom domain via CNAME the same day if you want it. Native apps when you want them. No engineering required from your side.
This removes the "I'd need to hire developers" question.
Every trade routed through the frontend generates an on-chain builder fee to a wallet only you can withdraw from. The first fee accrues on the first trade; after 30 days you have an on-chain receipt to compare against your referral dashboard.
This removes the "I can't verify the income" question.
Under 20 minutes. No code. Nothing to migrate.
If the three-step plan answered every operational question, the FAQ answers the twenty things you'd ask a partner before signing.
Before you sign
Yes. Your audience is the asset regardless of which platform you've been promoting on. If you've been calling HYPE, posting TA on HL-listed assets, or running a charting channel, your audience is generating fees on Hyperliquid right now — and the most you can capture with an HL referral link is 10% of them, only until each referred user's first $1B in volume.18 Builder codes route 100% of the builder fee, uncapped, to a wallet only your signature can open — that's what Wickery activates for you. The architecture doesn't care whether your audience came from X, Telegram, YouTube, or a Discord. It cares whether the fee record is yours. The H1 names "the exchange" because the violation is the same whether the counterparty is Binance, MEXC, the Hyperliquid foundation, or whoever sold you a referral link.
No. There is no audience-size threshold, no volume quota, and no quarterly review that can downgrade you — the split is the split (see Q12). The only commitment is the refundable 100 USDC protocol stake (see Q9).
The economics are why. Serving your branded frontend costs Wickery roughly $10 a month in infrastructure, and a typical active retail trader generates $15K–$50K a month in notional volume — a handful of active traders covers the cost of serving you. Past that, the same 90/10 split — you keep 90% — works at every scale, from a small Telegram group to a media brand with 500,000 followers.
We can profitably serve a 100-member Telegram group. No enterprise white-label in history has been able to say that.
Far more than crypto. Hyperliquid runs the full crypto perp universe — BTC, ETH, SOL, and the long tail — and since October 2025, builder-deployed markets have been adding the rest of the trading screen: US equities like NVDA, TSLA, AAPL and MSFT, stock indices, gold, silver, oil, FX. The listing process is permissionless, so the list keeps growing.32
The milestone that shows where this is heading: in March 2026, S&P Dow Jones Indices licensed the S&P 500® to a Hyperliquid builder — the first officially licensed S&P 500 perpetual anywhere. It trades on Hyperliquid, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.33
And these are not ghost listings. During the January 2026 silver squeeze, Hyperliquid's silver market cleared over $1.25 billion in 24 hours — the third most active market on the exchange, behind only bitcoin and ether.34Within four months of launch, Hyperliquid's gold and silver perps were already clearing roughly 1% of COMEX volume35 — and unlike COMEX, they never close for the weekend.
Your builder fee attaches to order flow routed through your frontend, whatever the market. When your audience trades silver at 3 a.m. on a Sunday, the economics work exactly like a BTC trade on a Tuesday.
Right question, and any team that dismisses it is suspicious. Start with what's checkable without talking to us: the proof bar at the top of the page — the $64M builder-fee total on Flowscan and Hyperliquid's $11B+ open interest, plus a live Wickery fee transaction, all on-chain.
Our own record — $6.4B+ volume, 2.5M+ trades, 5 years across the 2022 crash and the FTX collapse — is handled the way you handle your own P&L: not posted publicly, shown in full to serious partners. A recorded founder walkthrough inside the self-serve dashboard, and live on the video briefing, where the founding team also shares full names and LinkedIn profiles and runs the product.
Two reasons it isn't on this page: publishing the prior platform's name would tie its existing users to a venture they didn't opt into, and a record scraped by everyone who scrolls past is worth less to you than one shown receipts-open to operators who show up. If what we show you doesn't match this page, we fund your 100 USDC stake — in writing, in the agreement. The full team page publishes at traction-gated milestones — the same operational decision.
This is the right fear and the page doesn't dodge it. Your audience's outcomes were never aligned with the exchange's incentives — that's why every standard interface defaults to cross-margin, 100× leverage, confetti on execution, and zero aggregate-risk display. Once you own the relationship, your audience's survival becomes your revenue function.
The terminal defaults to isolated margin and per-entry stops because that's what an operator who actually owns the relationship would build. The prior-platform cohort ran at 28% profitable-trader rate against the 13.5% perps baseline — same audience type, different architecture. Migration is a downside-reducing move, not a downside-increasing one.
And if after 30 days your community's outcomes on the Wickery terminal are worse than their outcomes on the exchange they came from, we'll publish your community's 30-day outcome data next to our prior-platform cohort data — both sets, side by side.
Your builder wallet is a Hyperliquid protocol primitive, not a Wickery smart contract. It continues to exist, continues to route fees, and continues to be under your signature control after Wickery stops existing. If our frontend goes dark, your fee stream still routes to a wallet only you can withdraw from. You can point any other Hyperliquid builder, or build your own, at the same wallet. The architecture is designed so your fee record outlives the company you're partnering with.
Your builder fees route to a joint wallet enforced by Hyperliquid's native protocol-level multi-sig — not a smart contract we wrote. Your signature is required for every withdrawal, including ours.
That closes both failure modes a partner should ask about: Wickery cannot drain your fees, and neither party can rewrite the split — the wallet is the billing system, and there is no other one. Both sides verify the same record on Hyperscan, in real time.
Not by taking custody: a Hyperliquid frontend never holds funds. Deposits go to Hyperliquid's bridge contract, balances and positions live at the protocol, and every action is signed by the trader's own wallet. There is no pooled account an operator can walk away with.
The practical attack surface of a hostile frontend is address substitution — showing a wrong deposit address, or a tampered destination on a withdrawal. Both are independently checkable, because none of the real addresses are secrets: Hyperliquid's bridge contract is documented and publicly labeled on Arbiscan, so a deposit address can be compared before sending; and a withdrawal's destination is your own wallet address, shown in your own wallet at signing and verifiable on Hyperscan after. Your audience never has to trust a screenshot — the chain is the record either side can check.
Before we started Wickery, we traded on Bitget and Bybit ourselves. Not to promote them. Just to trade. The advertised taker rate was 0.06%.2122 The rate we were actually paying was 0.10% — the same undisclosed markup on both exchanges, charged to every trader at VIP 0 and VIP 1.
At 0.05% (5 bps in protocol terms), total taker cost on Hyperliquid is ~0.095%. The actual rates Binance, Bybit, and Bitget charge VIP 0–1 traders are 0.036% maker / 0.10% taker. Verified firsthand by the founders trading on both. For taker-dominant communities (most operator audiences executing signals), Wickery is cheaper. Your audience was already paying the markup. Now they're paying a comparable rate to trade on a terminal that defaults to stop-losses and isolated margin instead of confetti and 100× leverage.
You don't have to switch. The Wickery URL runs alongside your existing Binance link with zero technical conflict. Your audience can use either one. Post the Wickery URL in your channel, leave the Binance link in your bio, and compare the on-chain record to your referral dashboard after 30 days. If Wickery underperforms, you delete a pinned link and nothing else changes. This is a parallel experiment, not a platform migration.
Wickery inherits Hyperliquid's geo-fence — US, Ontario (Canada), and sanctioned territories (Russia, North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Syria, Myanmar) are blocked at the frontend IP layer. 180+ jurisdictions are accessible, including the EU under MiCA's exclusion for fully decentralized protocols. The non-custodial framing is the same one Phantom, MetaMask, Pantera-backed Based ($11.5M Series A), and Paradigm-backed LiquidTrading ($7.6M seed) operate under. Every partner receives a written legal memo from outside counsel during onboarding. None of this is legal advice for your specific jurisdiction; your counsel should review.
Four position-layer architectural differences, not cosmetic ones: (1) total current risk surfaced as a single visible dollar number — no other retail perpetuals terminal does this; (2) isolated entries, not just isolated margin — every entry is its own object with its own stop, no "average down" button; (3) stop-loss as a first-class order-entry action, two clicks before the position opens; (4) conservative per-entry defaults — isolated margin default, position-sizing guidance rendered at order entry.
The volume-aligned defaults the rest of the industry inherits — confetti animations on execution, top-movers leaderboards, push notifications hyping volatility — are absent. They're cosmetic compared to the four above. Full primitive-by-primitive breakdown with the academic citations → (opens in new tab)
yourname.wickery.xyz deploys in under 20 minutes — fully branded, working on any device with a browser. A custom domain via CNAME goes live the same day.
Native iOS and Android builds are available for partners who establish their own LLC for App Store submission — a store requirement, not ours (see Q16 for the full path and timeline).
Your Wickery frontend already runs on every phone. yourname.wickery.xyz is a full progressive web app — your audience opens it in any browser, adds it to their home screen, and it behaves like an installed app. No download, no store approval, nothing to ship.
If you want a listing in the App Store or Google Play under your own brand, Wickery provides the native build. The stores require that the entity submitting a trading application is yours: you establish an LLC (or equivalent) with your own developer account and submit under it — the same path every Hyperliquid builder with a native app (Phantom, Based, pvp.trade) has walked. That requirement comes from the app stores, not from Wickery.
Wickery supports the submission process end-to-end; typical time from decision to listing is 4–8 weeks. The product is identical either way — the store listing is a distribution channel, not a different tier.
Wickery carries the operational load: serving and maintaining the frontend, developing the terminal, staffing your audience's support, walking app-store submissions through review, and the onboarding legal memo. None of it lands on your calendar.
Your side is the part only you can do: put the URL where your audience already is, and sign the withdrawals — the wallet stays yours, so even Wickery's share leaves it with your signature on the transaction. No servers to keep alive, no help desk to staff, no releases to ship. You own a business; you don't operate an exchange.
A Hyperliquid protocol requirement to activate the builder role. You deposit 100 USDC from your own wallet into your own Hyperliquid perps account. It sits there. You can withdraw it at any time. Wickery does not collect it, does not see it, and cannot access it. The protocol uses it to filter for builders with genuine commitment. It is not a fee.
On Hyperliquid, the ownership ceiling is 10% — and capped. An HL referral link pays 10% of a referred user's fees, only on their first $1B in volume;18 without one, your share is zero. Builder codes are the ownership primitive on the same protocol: 100% of the fee, no cap, on-chain.
The fee record is private. No public ledger you can audit. No transaction hash to point at. Just a dashboard whose numbers can change between the screenshot and the payout. A builder fee is the opposite object: a public, permanent transaction you can point at on Hyperscan.
Most referral agreements contain language reserving the right to terminate for "reputational risk" or "brand conflict" — undefined in advance, applied at the counterparty's discretion, with the accrued commission as the lever. The Wickery split has no clause like that to invoke: the split is enforced at the wallet, and neither party can rewrite it unilaterally.
Wickery does — support is included in the standard arrangement, not an add-on. The first line is Wickery's RAG-powered AI agent. RAG — retrieval-augmented generation — means the agent doesn't answer from a language model's general memory: it retrieves the answer from Wickery's own documentation and the terminal's current state before responding, so answers are specific to this product and stay current as the product changes. Anything the agent can't resolve is picked up by Wickery's in-house support team. Your audience reaches support directly inside the terminal via in-app chat, or via Telegram. You bring the audience; you don't staff the help desk.
Every referral deal points one direction: you work for the exchange, and it decides what your work is worth.
Wickery points the other way: the revenue, the record, and the relationship are yours, permanently, while the infrastructure runs without you.
Every referral deal points one direction: you work for the exchange, and the exchange decides what your work was worth. Wickery points the other way. Every fee lands in a wallet only your signature can open. Wickery's own share leaves that wallet the same way yours does, with your signature on the withdrawal. You don't work for the exchange anymore. The infrastructure works for you.
This is what audience monetization looks like when the audience-builder owns the business: the revenue, the record, and the relationship are yours, permanently, while the infrastructure, the terminal, and the support run without you. Every earlier model made you choose: own nothing and stay light, or build everything and carry it. The architecture deleted that choice.
