Hyperliquid has expanded access to its low-latency data infrastructure, making it easier and more affordable for trading firms and developers to connect to the network.
Under the new model, qualified third-party infrastructure providers can access the Hyper Foundation’s low-latency node through a standardized pricing system. The current reference cost is listed at under $1,000 per month, covering computing resources and outbound network traffic.
Previously, direct access to the Foundation’s node was limited to participants who staked 10,000 HYPE tokens and achieved Tier 1 maker rebate status, a requirement that many smaller firms could not meet.
To qualify as a provider, companies must have at least one year of operating history, serve a minimum of 100 customers, support five or more networks or protocols, and maintain 99.9% uptime. Providers must also avoid discriminatory pricing and offer equal access to all customers.
Hyperliquid said providers will not be allowed to give faster or exclusive connections to selected market makers. The rules are intended to create a fair environment and reduce information advantages between different users of the platform.
The change focuses on access to the Foundation’s non-validating node, which delivers fast blockchain data without participating in network consensus. Users can still run their own independent non-validating nodes, as this has always been permissionless.
The move follows earlier updates to Hyperliquid’s public data feeds and is aimed at helping smaller trading teams access high-quality market data without meeting the platform’s previous staking and trading volume requirements.
As Hyperliquid continues to dominate a large share of the on-chain perpetual futures market, demand for faster and more reliable trading data has grown. The new provider program is expected to increase competition among infrastructure companies while improving access for developers, traders, and smaller market-making firms.
Hyperliquid has not yet announced a list of approved providers or a timeline for wider deployment. However, the new framework lowers the barrier to accessing low-latency data and could make the platform more accessible to a broader range of market participants.
