Two readings, side by side
Hyperliquid vs Pacifica
Not a scoring table. Two dated readings of the venues' own restriction pages, the countries where their lists differ, and each programme's declared terms — quoted, never improved.

What each programme declares
Hyperliquid
FUT You get 4% off fees for your first $25M of volume. Hyperliquid's entry tier is 0.045% taker and 0.015% maker, read on their own docs 3 Sep 2026, so on taker volume the discount keeps 0.0018% — about $18 per $1M; on maker volume it is 0.0006%. We receive 10% of the referred fees, out of that fee rather than on top of yours. Restricted Persons are still theirs; payment does not rewrite the list.
Pacifica
kingi You get a 5% point bonus as a referee — points being the thing farmed here. Pacifica's entry tier charges 0.015% maker and 0.040% taker, read on their own docs 3 Sep 2026. We receive 10% of the points generated by referred users. The restricted-country list is still Pacifica's; payment does not rewrite it.
Questions
Which can I use from my country — Hyperliquid or Pacifica?
The venues decide that, at KYC. What we publish is a different thing: whose list names which countries — yours marked when the connection can be placed — and the click is checked at the edge either way.
Do Hyperliquid and Pacifica pay the same referral reward?
Each declares its own programme; both are quoted above verbatim and checked monthly. We add nothing to either.
Why do the two lists differ?
Different legal exposure, different regulators, different lawyers. We do not guess at reasons — we date what each page says and record every later change in the ledger.
