Where do traders’ funds go?

The website and the account are different

Your branded site is an interface to Hyperliquid. It displays markets and sends trading instructions authorized by the user. It does not create a bank account or exchange balance held by your community business.

The route is: trader’s wallet → trader’s Hyperliquid account → Hyperliquid market. The website helps the user interact with that account. Ask members to check the domain, wallet prompts, network, and deposit destination before approving anything.

Existing Hyperliquid users can connect the same wallet and use their underlying account. Trading-agent and builder-fee approvals may still be needed. A familiar account does not make every website trustworthy.

Where liquidity comes from

Orders meet bids and offers from traders and market makers on Hyperliquid. For the same underlying market, your site accesses the same order book. You do not have to recruit a separate set of buyers and sellers for your branded copy of that market.

Depth is market-specific. A widely traded perpetual and a newly listed event can have very different spreads and available size. Check the current book at the size your members intend to trade. Historical volume is not a promise of execution.

What the community owner controls

You manage your branding, site settings, community activity, and the builder fee within supported limits. You do not decide who wins a prediction or replace its published settlement rules. Users approve a maximum builder fee before orders can charge it.

If your website is unavailable, the account still belongs to the trader. Another compatible Hyperliquid interface may provide access, depending on its market support and Hyperliquid availability. The deposit and withdrawal guide explains the account side.

Separate trading balances from business revenue

After earnings activation, builder fees accrue to your fee contract. Floatout computes allocations and publishes the roots used for claims. The publisher is trusted to allocate those fees correctly. This is separate from the trader’s account balance.

There is no direct sweep function in that fee contract, but an incorrect or malicious root can misallocate fee funds through claims. The administrative upgrade delay does not delay root publication. Read the fee-contract security model.

Non-custodial does not mean risk-free or licensed. Trading losses, protocol failure, compromised websites or wallets, and disputed settlement remain relevant. Software access does not establish permission to operate in every jurisdiction.

An explanation you can share

Our site gives this community a branded way to trade Hyperliquid markets. You use your own Hyperliquid account, not a balance held by our community. Check the trading fees and market rules before trading. Trading and protocol risks remain.

Add your actual fee, support channel, and site URL. Avoid promises that funds are guaranteed or that every market has deep liquidity.
