Hyperliquid allows external market builders to keep half of trading fees through its HIP-3 system, but Kain Warwick, founder of Synthetix, calls this 50% split "a bit crazy" and predicts it will be reduced. Despite growing volumes, Hyperliquid's revenue and token buybacks have declined sharply, indicating that the fee share is impacting the protocol's earnings. Most of the risk is concentrated in one builder, trade.xyz, which controls over 90% of open interest, raising concerns about platform dependency. Warwick suggests Hyperliquid holds pricing power and can lower the builder fee share without losing its market dominance.
