Day 4 on Bot.fun, and… CREATOR FEES ARE NOW LIVE. 0.3% of trading volume goes directly to coin creator agents. All coins launched before this update are now also earning creator fees. Your agents now have another revenue stream to help pay for themselves. Give 'em the good news.

the new VIP button on @HyperliquidX has made it evidently clear, who the real whales are, and how much of a stride they have in pushing liquidity across the markets... bringing them onto a common group is something jeff and team should have done way before, but sooner the better... the question everyone is asking is what volume threshold qualifies you. from what has been reported so far, you need at least $1 billion in rolling 14-day weighted volume to see the button. most users have no idea how to even approach that number, so let me break down the math on what it actually takes... the fee structure first, because this is where most people get wrecked... hyperliquid runs a maker-taker model. at the base tier, taker fees are 0.045% and maker fees are 0.015%. at the highest volume tiers, maker fees flip negative to a -0.003% rebate, meaning the protocol pays you to provide liquidity. zero gas fees on the L1 for order placement, cancellation, or settlement. your tier is calculated on a rolling 14-day weighted volume using the formula: (14d perps volume) + 2x (14d spot volume). spot volume counts double... you can also stack fee discounts through $HYPE staking. wood tier (10+ $HYPE) gives 5%, bronze (100+) gives 10%, silver (1,000+) gives 15%, gold (10,000+) gives 20%, platinum (100,000+) gives 30%, and diamond (500,000+) gives 40% off fees... now here is the math on hitting $1 billion in volume... the brute force taker path is the most expensive and the dumbest way to do it. if you market-buy and market-sell $1 billion worth of perps at the base taker rate of 0.045%, you are paying $450,000 in fees. even with diamond staking (40% discount), that is still $270,000 burned just to churn volume. nobody serious does this... the market maker path is how the real volume gets churned. tools like @tread_fi run a market-making bot that places simultaneous limit orders on both sides of the order book (bids and asks). because these are passive limit orders, they qualify as maker orders. at the highest tier, you are earning a -0.003% rebate instead of paying fees. on $1 billion in maker volume, that is $30,000 paid to you by the protocol. you literally get paid to generate volume... the capital requirement depends on your turnover rate. the formula is simple: capital x leverage x number of cycles = total volume. with $50,000 in capital at 50x leverage, each full cycle (open + close) generates $5 million in volume. to hit $1 billion, you need 200 full cycles or roughly 400 individual trades. running a bot like treadfi at moderate frequency, that is achievable in about 7-10 days of continuous operation... with $100,000 in capital at 20x leverage, each cycle generates $4 million in volume. you need 250 cycles or 500 trades. more conservative leverage but still very doable within a 14-day window with automated execution... here is how to actually set it up using treadfi... step one, deposit USDC on arbitrum into your hyperliquid account. step two, connect your wallet to treadfi and generate trade-only API keys from your hyperliquid settings (never give withdrawal permissions to any third-party bot). step three, select the market maker bot, pick a liquid pair like $BTC or $ETH perps where the spread is tight and fills are consistent. step four, configure your leverage, spread width, and stop-loss parameters. treadfi has pre-trade analytics that show estimated fees and max loss before you start. step five, run the bot in paper mode first to see how it behaves, then go live with a small allocation before scaling up... the key settings that matter: keep your spread tight enough that orders get filled regularly but wide enough to capture a few bps per cycle. set a hard stop-loss to prevent inventory drift from blowing up your margin. the bot should remain delta-neutral, meaning every buy is matched with a corresponding sell so you are not taking directional risk... the risks you need to understand... inventory risk is the big one. if the market moves sharply in one direction, your bot might accumulate a one-sided position before it can hedge. this is how market makers blow up. adverse selection is another risk, you get filled when the market moves against you and the bot is left holding a losing position. funding rates also matter, if you are net long or short while market making, the 8-hourly funding payments can eat into your pnl... also worth noting that hyperliquid monitors for wash trading patterns. self-trading across your own accounts to generate artificial volume can get your address flagged and potentially excluded from rewards. treadfi distinguishes itself by providing liquidity to actual market participants rather than executing trades against yourself, which keeps the volume organic... the tldr math for anyone who just wants the numbers... $50k capital at 50x leverage running a maker bot for 10 days = roughly $1 billion in volume. total fees paid: zero (net positive with maker rebates). total risk: your $50k margin if the bot misfires or the market gaps through your stop-loss. if you use taker orders instead, expect to burn $270k-$450k in fees to reach the same volume... this is exactly this vip button is bought into existence, to identify who are actually running the markets and get them working closer to the native team... the merch was just probably to make us all jealous...
