# Builder fees

Hyperliquid refers to integrator-collected trading fees as **builder fees**. In this model, goodcryptoX acts as a builder—charging a trading fee on top of Hyperliquid's base fees in exchange for access to advanced orders and trading bots.

On centralized exchanges, goodcryptoX does **not** charge trading fees, but access to premium trading tools and increased bot limits requires a paid [subscription](/ecosystem/subscription-plans.md). In contrast, on Spot DEXs and Hyperliquid, **all features are available without a subscription**, and a [trading fee](/ecosystem/dex-swap-fee.md) is applied per order.

Hyperliquid sits between CEXs and DEXs in its architecture and UX - and our integration follows a similar model. You trade inside the CEX interface, using the same CEX-level toolset (advanced orders, full-featured bots like [Grid](/perp-dexs/bots/grid-bot.md) and [Infinity Trailing](/dex-trading-spot/upcoming-functionality/infinity-bot.md)), but without needing a subscription. Instead, we apply a builder fee to each trade, which helps power the [GOOD token](/good-token/summary.md) economy.

#### How builder fees work

To enable builder fees, Hyperliquid requires you to explicitly authorize goodcryptoX to charge them - by signing a transaction with your wallet. This approval is required to connect your Hyperliquid account to our app. If you connect your account [with MetaMask](/perp-dexs/hyperliquid/how-to-connect.md#connect-with-metamask-automatically) - it is done automatically. If you set up your connection [manually](/perp-dexs/hyperliquid/how-to-connect.md#manual-setup), you will need to [approve](/perp-dexs/hyperliquid/how-to-connect.md#approve-builder-fee) our builder fee via a third-party interface.

You approve the **maximum fee**, but the **actual fee charged** depends on the [DEX fee discount](/ecosystem/dex-swap-fee.md) you qualify for. These discounts are the same across all DEX integrations and stack together:

* Higher [trading volume](/ecosystem/loyalty-program.md) on goodcryptoX = higher discount (up to 50%)
* [Holding](/good-token/holding-benefits.md) more GOOD tokens = higher discount (up to 50%)
* Active [subscription](/ecosystem/subscription-plans.md) = additional discount (up to 30%)
* Holding the [Ultimate NFT](/ecosystem/nfts.md) = a 50% discount.

#### Fee rates

* **Futures trading** on Hyperliquid: base builder fee is **0.1%**
* **Spot trading** on Hyperliquid: base builder fee is **1%**, but it is only charged on **sell orders**. No fee is charged on buy orders.

{% hint style="info" %}
While the signed approval shows a max fee of **1%**, this only applies to spot trades. Futures are capped at **0.1%** on-chain by Hyperliquid’s design
{% endhint %}

You can always check your current fee tier and discount in the app by clicking the robot icon in the top right corner.

#### How builder fees power the GOOD token economy

Builder fees don’t just fund trading infrastructure and new features development - they also directly support [GOOD token](/good-token/summary.md) holders and long-term growth.

* **50%** of all builder fees collected from Hyperliquid trading are distributed to GOOD holders via the [Revenue sharing](/ecosystem/revenue-sharing.md) program
* **10%** of all fees go to daily GOOD [burns](/good-token/burn.md), reducing total supply over time
* **25%** of fees from referred users are paid out to their referrers through our [referral program](/ecosystem/referral-program.md)

This ensures that every trade on Hyperliquid not only unlocks powerful tools for the traders, but also strengthens the value and sustainability of the GOOD [token economy](/good-token/tokenomics.md).

By using builder fees this way, we align trader incentives, token utility, and platform growth into a single system.
