400,000 third-party app users lost $280 million on Hyperliquid

  • —400,000 third-party app users lost a combined $280 million on Hyperliquid
  • —App fees outweighed actual trading losses, the report said
  • —Phantom, MetaMask and fomo were named as access points
  • —Most users quit trading after taking losses, leaving retention very low
Why it matters: Poor retail retention through third-party front-ends undermines Hyperliquid's ecosystem reputation and the fee model built around it.
