Hyperliquid Claims 100% Uptime During 37-Minute Outage—But Traders Were Left in the

What Happened?

  • On July 29, an API spike caused a 37-minute outage, stopping users from placing or closing orders, withdrawing funds, and managing leveraged positions—some at up to 40×.
  • Despite visible disruptions, the company’s public status dashboard continued to show perfect uptime for its frontend, API, and L1 services.
  • Users turned to Discord, where complaints poured in while Hyperliquid remained silent in official communications.

Coinccino Commentary

“Claiming 100% uptime during a live outage is more than an optics fail—it’s a trust breakdown. In markets stretched by leverage, real transparency isn’t optional—it’s essential.”


Why It Matters to Investors

Region Why It’s Relevant
U.S. Institutional traders relying on Hyperliquid’s speed and stability faced unexpected risk exposure during live events.
UAE MENA-based hedge funds evaluating DEX reliability for future capital deployment now demand clearer service-level alignment.
India Indian proprietary trading desks eyeing global dex liquidity will scrutinize platform reliability before allocating capital.

 


Broader Implications

Hyperliquid ranks #1 in derivatives volume—it handles $21+B daily volume, $4.7B open interest, and $9.5M+ daily revenue, all while being hailed for “100% uptime.” But this recent discrepancy between claimed uptime and real-world experience may trigger deeper scrutiny of uptime metrics industry-wide.
