Hyperliquid Claims 100% Uptime During 37-Minute Outage—But Traders Were Left in the
Hyperliquid’s official status page touted 100% platform uptime, even as users experienced a 37-minute frontend outage that disrupted leveraged trading and fueled confusion across global trading desks.

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.
