Editorial Policy

Our Editorial Mission

Orderbook Dispatch publishes independent research, reviews, and practical guides about Hyperliquid and related crypto trading topics. We help readers understand products, risks, costs, trading tools, and access requirements before they make their own decisions.

Orderbook Dispatch is not Hyperliquid. We are not created, operated, owned, endorsed, or controlled by Hyperliquid. References to Hyperliquid, its products, tokens, applications, or services are made for review and informational purposes.

Our goal is accuracy, clarity, and useful context. Crypto products can involve substantial financial risk, smart contract risk, custody risk, market volatility, liquidation risk, and regulatory restrictions. Our content is educational and does not provide investment, legal, tax, or financial advice.

This policy is effective October 12, 2026.

How We Select Topics

We select topics based on reader interest, material product changes, market relevance, and potential user risk. Priority is given to subjects that can affect a trader's funds, ability to access a service, execution quality, fees, custody choices, or exposure to protocol failures.

• Hyperliquid product features, markets, trading mechanics, and account access.
• Perpetual futures, spot markets, order types, leverage, margin, liquidation, and funding rates.
• Protocol updates, governance proposals, token related developments, security events, and public incident reports.
• Trading costs, including maker and taker fees, spreads, funding, withdrawal costs, and network fees where relevant.
• Wallet security, self custody practices, transaction signing, phishing risks, and smart contract permissions.
• Regulatory or geographic access issues when supported by reliable public sources.

We do not publish a topic simply because it is popular on social media. Claims that could affect a reader's financial decisions require evidence and context.

Research & Fact-Checking Standards

Our research begins with primary sources where possible. These include official documentation, published protocol materials, public smart contract code, blockchain data, fee schedules, governance records, audit reports, public status pages, and direct product testing.

For factual claims about Hyperliquid, we seek to confirm details through official sources and observable product behavior. For claims about onchain activity, transaction records, balances, contract interactions, or token transfers, we may consult block explorers and publicly available blockchain data.

We verify time sensitive information before publication when practical. This includes fees, available markets, supported networks, product availability, leverage limits, funding mechanisms, wallet requirements, and announced protocol changes.

We treat third party reporting, social media posts, screenshots, influencer claims, and anonymous statements as leads rather than confirmed facts. We identify uncertainty when primary evidence is unavailable or when information conflicts.

Our reviews may include hands on testing. Testing can include account connection, wallet prompts, deposits and withdrawals where appropriate, order placement, order cancellation, interface responsiveness, market data display, fee visibility, and risk controls. A limited test cannot prove that a service will perform the same way for every user or under all market conditions.

We distinguish clearly between facts, analysis, and opinion. Opinions are based on the evidence available at the time of publication and may change if the underlying facts change.

How we score

Every scored review on Orderbook Dispatch uses the same published weighting system. These are the real weights behind every score on this site. We do not round, reorder, or substitute these criteria.

Criterion	Weight
Execution and Liquidity	28%
Security and Protocol Risk	22%
Fees and Value	18%
Markets and Trading Tools	17%
Access and User Experience	15%
Overall	100%

Execution and Liquidity covers order book depth, spreads, fill quality, market activity, reliability during active periods, and the practical ability to enter or exit positions.

Security and Protocol Risk covers smart contract exposure, custody design, wallet and signing risks, documented audits, public incident history, operational safeguards, transparency, and material protocol dependencies.

Fees and Value covers stated trading fees, funding costs, spreads, network costs, withdrawal costs, fee disclosures, and the value of the product relative to its costs and risks.

Markets and Trading Tools covers the range of available markets, order types, leverage and margin controls, charting, risk tools, API access where relevant, and the usefulness of trading features.

Access and User Experience covers onboarding, wallet connection, clarity of disclosures, interface design, documentation, support resources, geographic restrictions where disclosed, and the ease of completing common actions.

A high score is not a guarantee of safety, profitability, legality, availability, or suitability for any individual. Scores reflect our assessment at the time of review.

How We Make Money

Orderbook Dispatch earns affiliate commission from some outbound links. This never changes a score or a verdict. The reviewed brand has no editorial input.

Affiliate relationships do not determine which conclusions we reach, which risks we identify, or whether we publish criticism. A reader may pay the same price, or a different price, depending on the terms shown by the destination service. Readers should confirm all current terms before taking action.

Author Qualifications

Our authors and editors are selected for relevant knowledge of crypto markets, decentralized finance, trading mechanics, wallet security, blockchain transactions, and protocol documentation. Contributors must be able to read and assess technical and financial source material relevant to their assigned topic.

Authors are expected to understand core concepts such as private key security, self custody, smart contract approvals, leverage, margin, liquidation, perpetual futures, funding rates, liquidity, slippage, and counterparty risk. Technical claims are reviewed with care and are not presented as confirmed without adequate support.

Where an author has relevant holdings, business relationships, trading activity, or other interests connected to a topic, those interests must be disclosed to the editor before publication. Editors may require reassignment, additional review, disclosure, or recusal.

We do not represent authors as licensed financial advisers, lawyers, accountants, security auditors, or regulators unless a contributor has the relevant credential and that credential is specifically disclosed.

Affiliate & Commercial Disclosure

Some links on this website may be affiliate links. If a reader clicks an eligible link and takes a qualifying action, Orderbook Dispatch may receive a commission from a third party.

Affiliate compensation does not buy favorable coverage. It does not affect our scoring weights, individual criterion scores, written verdicts, risk disclosures, or editorial recommendations. We may review a service without an affiliate relationship, and we may publish negative findings about a service that has an affiliate program.

Commercial partners cannot approve, edit, delay, remove, or prewrite our editorial content. Any sponsored content, paid placement, advertisement, or material commercial arrangement will be identified clearly.

Conflict of Interest Policy

Orderbook Dispatch maintains a separation between editorial decisions and commercial relationships. Editorial staff decide what to cover, how to research it, how to score it, and what conclusion to publish.

Writers and editors must disclose relevant financial interests, token holdings, trading positions, employment, consulting work, advisory roles, investments, referral arrangements, and close personal relationships that could reasonably affect coverage.

A contributor with a material conflict may be removed from the assignment. If participation is appropriate, the conflict may be disclosed and the work may receive independent editorial review. We do not permit undisclosed payment in exchange for positive reviews, higher scores, link placement, or removal of criticism.

Crypto markets can move quickly, and a contributor's personal holdings can create incentives that conflict with readers' interests. For that reason, our writers should not use unpublished editorial information for trading decisions.

How We Update Content

We review content when material facts change or when new evidence becomes available. Updates may be triggered by a fee change, product release, market addition, smart contract upgrade, security incident, audit publication, regulatory development, access restriction, governance decision, or correction.

When an update materially changes a review, score, or conclusion, we revise the relevant page as soon as reasonably possible. We may add an update note to explain major changes. Minor edits for grammar, formatting, or clarity may not receive a separate note.

Older articles may contain information that is no longer current. Readers should check official documentation, applicable local rules, and current product disclosures before trading, connecting a wallet, signing a transaction, or transferring funds.

How to Report an Error

We welcome good faith corrections. If you believe a page contains an inaccurate statement, outdated detail, missing context, or unclear disclosure, email [email protected] with the page URL, the specific claim, and supporting evidence where available.

We review correction requests based on the strength of the evidence. If we confirm an error, we will correct it promptly. For more information about our process, see our Corrections Policy.
