Corrections log

Material corrections we have made since the site relaunched on September 19, 2026: what our pages said, what is right now, the official source, and the pages we fixed. Pages we rewrote or merged wholesale in our September 2026 content overhaul are not itemised one by one.

17 entries (14 corrections, 3 updates) · last entry

What goes in this log

  • Material means a fee, limit, rule, date or recommendation that a reader could act on. Typo, link and wording fixes are not listed.
  • Correction our pages were wrong: a misread source, an outdated source, an unsourced claim or an arithmetic error.
  • Update something changed at the source and our pages followed: an exchange changed a rule, or we changed the terms of one of our own referral codes. We say how long our pages lagged.
  • The "what is right now" text is rendered from our facts registry, so it always shows the figure our pages use today, with the date each record was last checked against its source.
  • Entries are not rewritten later. If a fix turns out to be wrong, it gets a new entry.

The log, newest first

  1. Update

    Hyperliquid USDC withdrawal fee

    What our pages said
    Our pages said a USDC withdrawal costs a flat $1 (minimum 2 USDC). That was the fee of Hyperliquid's legacy Arbitrum bridge. Hyperliquid moved withdrawals to Circle's CCTP between our readings of September 27 (bridge) and October 4 (CCTP); our pages caught up on October 6.
    What is right now
    Withdrawals now go through CCTP: 0.2 USDC plus a tiny HyperEVM gas fee in HYPE, minimum 0.4 USDC, arriving within 5 minutes. The $1 fee applies only to the legacy bridge.
    How we checked
    We read Hyperliquid's public routing endpoint 180 times on October 6 (176 returned CCTP) and the app's Withdraw dialog. Every build now reads the route again and warns us if it changes.

    Hyperliquid USDC deposit cost

    What our pages said
    Our fee pages said depositing USDC to Hyperliquid costs only the source chain’s gas.
    What is right now
    A CCTP deposit from Arbitrum also carries Circle's forwarding fee of 0.2 USDC, deducted from the amount.

    Lighter Standard account: maker latency

    What our pages said
    Our pages said Standard accounts delay maker orders by 200 ms (taker 300 ms), and some said Lighter’s two documentation sites disagreed. Lighter’s fee page showed 200 ms until at least September 26 and 0 ms by October 4; our registry and pages followed on October 6.
    What is right now
    Both Lighter documentation sites now list Standard maker latency at 0 ms: taker orders and cancels wait 300 ms; maker orders are not delayed.

    About 27 pages, most in both EN and JA (some also in KO), were reworded.

    Hyperliquid referral discount on app orders (builder codes)

    What our pages said
    Many pages said orders placed through apps that attach a builder code (Based, Liquid, fomo, Phantom and others) lose the Hyperliquid referral discount, and that the referrer earns nothing on them ("builder codes override referral codes").
    What is right now
    The sentence came from a proposal that Hyperliquid marks as not implemented on mainnet, and Hyperliquid's published fee formula applies the referral discount with no builder-code condition. On mainnet, the referral discount also applies to orders placed through apps with a builder code: the 4% comes off Hyperliquid's part of the fee, and the referrer still receives 10% of that part.
    How we checked
    We checked public Hyperliquid data for two days of app fills (September 29 and 30, 2026): the 30 most active accounts of each of four app builders, 120 in total, with each account’s referral status read on October 1. The 83 accounts with an active referral discount paid a median 0.96 × their fee rate on app orders; the 37 without one paid 1.00 ×. A scripted re-run on October 6 (accounts ranked by traded notional, status read that day) split them 73 / 47, with the same 0.96 × and 1.00 × result; the split moves as accounts pass the discount’s $25M volume cap. We publish aggregate results only, never individual accounts.

    fomo and the HOLYGRAIL referral code

    What our pages said
    Several pages said the HOLYGRAIL code follows your Hyperliquid account into fomo, as it does into Based and Liquid ("join first, then connect fomo").
    What is right now
    fomo has no wallet connection (Apple, Google or email only) and creates its own wallet and Hyperliquid account for you, so a Hyperliquid code such as HOLYGRAIL cannot apply there; fomo's own referral code is the one that counts. The code does follow your Hyperliquid account into apps you connect with the same wallet, such as Based and Liquid.

    edgeX funding-rate cap

    What our pages said
    Two guides gave edgeX's BTC/ETH funding cap as ±0.1875% per payment, read from edgeX's legacy V1 API, which lists only 11 of its contracts as tradable.
    What is right now
    edgeX's current V2 API caps BTC and ETH funding at ±0.2% per payment, paid every 4 hours.

    Aster referral code DTLpLc: what invitees get

    What our pages said
    Our Aster pages said invitees of our code receive 0% and that no discount is promised. That was true of the code’s default split until September 29.
    What is right now
    On September 29 we set the DTLpLc split so that 5% of the fees an invitee pays comes back to them as a rebate (Aster lets the referrer split the default commission). Aster pages now render this figure from the registry; if we change the split, it is logged here.

    Japan: start date of 20% separate taxation of crypto (Japanese pages)

    What our pages said
    Several Japanese pages presented January 1, 2028 as the start date of the new 20% separate taxation (one cited it as "scheduled for 2028-01-01").
    What is right now
    The amending act sets the start "from January 1 of the year after the amended Financial Instruments and Exchange Act takes effect", and that act will be in force on a date set by cabinet order within one year of promulgation (not yet set). 2028 is only the outcome if it takes effect in 2027. The rate is 20% (income tax 15% + resident tax 5%) plus the reconstruction surtax.

    Aster deposit networks

    What our pages said
    Our Aster review said wallet accounts can deposit on four networks (BNB Chain, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana).
    What is right now
    Aster's deposit API lists six: BNB Chain, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana, Robinhood and Arc. Robinhood Chain and Arc each accept one stablecoin.

    Our Lighter referral disclosure

    What our pages said
    Our disclosures said Lighter pays referrers only on Premium-account fees, so a Standard account "earns us nothing".
    What is right now
    Lighter says referrers earn on the gross fees their referees pay, including fees for advanced order types on Standard accounts. Plain market and limit orders on a Standard account pay no fee and so earn us nothing.

    Kraken in our Hyperliquid restricted-countries guide

    What our pages said
    We wrote that Kraken’s own page says its offshore crypto-derivatives product is "Not available in the US".
    What is right now
    That footer line belongs to Kraken's xStocks Perps paragraph, not to its crypto derivatives in general. The page says US traders looking for regulated futures can use Kraken Derivatives US (a CFTC-registered futures commission merchant (NFA ID 0309379) offering CME-cleared micro contracts).

    trade.xyz stock perps: "capped at 5x"

    What our pages said
    Our trade.xyz guide said the "capped at 5x" claim other guides repeat "was true in the early days". We had no source for that.
    What is right now
    We removed the line. No official source shows an earlier 5x cap on listed xyz stocks: on September 27, 2026 the live Hyperliquid API showed one 5x market (a pre-IPO perp), and trade.xyz’s changelog for June 12 raised TSLA, META, MSFT, GOOGL and AMZN from 10x to 20x.

    Aster: paying fees in ASTER

    What our pages said
    Pages applied Aster’s 5% pay-in-ASTER discount to perpetual fees (for example "0.038% taker paid in ASTER"), and our DEX fee calculator had a "Pay Aster fees in ASTER" option.
    What is right now
    The 5% discount is documented for spot trading fees only, not for perpetuals. Perp cost maths, tables and the calculator no longer apply it, and our Aster vs Hyperliquid comparison was rewritten because its verdict depended on it.

    Hyperliquid fees on the exchange cards and fee pages (relaunch)

    What our pages said
    Before the relaunch, our exchange cards showed Hyperliquid at "0.028% taker / 0% maker (rebates)" and "$5.9B daily volume", and a fee page said withdrawals cost only gas (about $0.10–0.60).
    What is right now
    0.028% is the tier-4 taker rate (above $500M of 14-day volume); the base tier is 0.045% taker / 0.015% maker. Daily volume is now read from Hyperliquid's API at build time and dated. Withdrawals carry a fixed fee (see October 6).
