Your white-label exchange on Hyperliquid

A white-label crypto exchange puts your brand on trading software someone else built. With Floatout, that means a frontend on Hyperliquid's existing markets. Pick a name, make it yours, try it. You can do that before paying anything.

What is a white-label crypto exchange?

A white-label crypto exchange is exchange software built by someone else that you rebrand and operate under your own name. It's a long-standing category: vendors sell a matching engine, a wallet system and an admin panel, and you plug in your branding, your fee structure and your user base.

Custodial exchange products require a custody arrangement and operational controls. Some vendors bundle more infrastructure and services than others. Compare what the vendor actually supplies, what you must operate, and the obligations that apply to your business.

White-label CEX vs white-label DEX on Hyperliquid

Floatout uses existing Hyperliquid accounts and market order books. You do not hold trading deposits or seed a separate book for those markets. Depth, protocol risks, and operator responsibilities still matter.

White-label Hyperliquid or an exchange script?

An exchange script gives you software to run. Before buying one, ask who maintains it, where orders are matched, how deposits are held, and what happens when a service goes down. A familiar-looking interface does not answer those questions.

Floatout gives your community a branded way to use existing Hyperliquid markets. You manage the site and your community. Hyperliquid handles the order books and settlement. You cannot change its trading rules or turn a frontend launch into a new market listing.

Try the working demo before choosing. Check the markets, wallet flow and mobile layout, then compare the cost of activating earnings with the work you would take on running a script.

What you get with a floatout DEX

  • Your brand: name, logo, colors, fonts and a floatout.trade subdomain.
  • A working trading site: perps, existing prediction markets, portfolio and a mobile layout.
  • Operator tools: a console for your site, fees and referrals. Earnings and fee controls depend on activation and plan.

You still bring the community and answer its questions. This does not include a new token listing, your own matching engine or permission to run a regulated business. Custom domains are not part of the public self-serve plans.

How it works in three steps

  1. Preview. Open the builder, enter a name and choose a theme. Switch between perps and predictions. No wallet needed for this part.
  2. Claim and publish. Connect your owner wallet and sign the ownership message. The preview alone does not reserve your name.
  3. Try it with your group. Share the site, test the mobile flow and collect feedback. Activate earnings when the numbers make sense.

Start with the live demo if you just want to look around. Open a market, inspect the order book and try the layout on your phone. Connecting a wallet or placing a trade is not needed to browse.

What it costs

Creating and publishing is free. On the free tier, the operator earns nothing. Paid earnings activation adds a setup payment and an ongoing share of builder fees. The public self-serve plans have no monthly subscription.

Launch: $2,500 one-time. Floatout's platform share is 15% of gross builder fees. For every hypothetical $100 in eligible builder fees, that leaves $85 before affiliate allocations and your other costs. That is a share of fees, not trading volume.

Check the full plan comparison and checkout breakdown, including separate builder seat funding and network costs. Then put your own assumptions into the builder-fee calculator. A busy Discord is not the same thing as trading volume. Start small.

Who this is for

Communities, KOLs, trading groups and existing apps that want to offer perps trading without building an exchange engine. It offers perps and existing prediction markets. It does not deploy arbitrary new questions or list your own token.

If your audience already trades and just wants a home with your name on it, this is a fast fit. If what you actually want is to launch and market a brand-new token, a white-label exchange isn't the right tool, you want a listing venue, not a perps frontend.

If you're weighing this against building from scratch, see how to launch a perp DEX, or read how Hyperliquid builder codes actually pay you. A branded frontend is one option alongside affiliate links and custom builds. See the comparison, the white-label comparison, and try a live demo.

Frequently asked questions

What is a white-label crypto exchange?

Pre-built exchange software that you rebrand and run as your own. Traditionally this is a centralized exchange (CEX) product sold by a software vendor: you license their engine, put your logo on it, and operate it as a custodial business.

How much does it cost to set up a white-label crypto exchange?

Vendor pricing and liquidity arrangements vary. Floatout is free to create. Earnings activation requires a one-time payment and an ongoing platform share. See current pricing on /pricing.

What is the difference between a white-label CEX and a white-label DEX?

A custodial CEX relies on its operator or custody provider to hold balances. Floatout connects users to their own Hyperliquid accounts and existing market books. Vendor services and liquidity arrangements vary.

Do I need a licence to run a white-label exchange?

We can't give legal advice. A floatout DEX is non-custodial and you never hold user funds, but whether you need a licence depends on where you and your traders are. Talk to a lawyer before you launch.

Can I use my own domain?

Your site ships on its own floatout.trade subdomain. Custom domains are not included in the public self-serve plans. Contact Floatout if your launch needs one.

Where does the liquidity come from?

Traders and market makers on Hyperliquid. Your site accesses the same underlying book for the same market. Available depth varies by market and time.
