Sub-Accounts and Builder Fee

For Subaccounts Hyperliquid doesn't allow Brokers like us to apply the regular monetization structure. Therefore we charge for Subaccounts only via the Terminal a small extra of 2bps per Maker/Taker order. You’ll be prompted with a transaction to sign a builder fee approval. You can easily avoid these fees by simply using another address / main account. Vaults don't pay the builder fee.
