Hyperliquid Bridge Fees

The native Arbitrum to Hyperliquid bridge has no transfer fees and is best for USDC transfers, with only minimal Arbitrum gas fees (typically under $1). However, it only supports transfers from Arbitrum.

For other networks, such as Ethereum, Base, Solana, and BNB Chain, Synapse charges a 0.05% bridging fee.

Gas fees also apply and vary by network. Ethereum transfers generally cost $5–$10, while Base, Solana, and BNB Chain transfers usually stay under $1.

Alternative Hyperliquid Bridges

For users exploring options beyond Synapse, here are reliable alternatives for transferring assets to Hyperliquid:

1. Hy Bridge: A community-developed protocol with $5 million in transaction volume, Hy Bridge supports transfers from ETH to Hyperliquid. Overall it is smaller and less secure than Synapse, but it has teased some airdrop incentives for early users. 
2. Native Hyperliquid Bridge: The most secure option for bridging USDC directly from Arbitrum to Hyperliquid with no transfer fees. However, users on other networks may need to first bridge assets to Arbitrum, which could add additional costs.

These options provide flexibility for users prioritizing security, incentives, or network compatibility when bridging to Hyperliquid.
