PANews reported on June 8 that James Wynn tweeted that HyperLiquid had never paid any compensation. "We have contacted HyperLiquid twice before, hoping to get some kind of cooperation agreement in return for the attention they brought to them. Although they seemed grateful, they did not offer such an agreement to anyone. Considering that their platform is decentralized and operates differently from ordinary exchanges, this makes sense."

James Wynn claims to have earned about $34,000 through referrals on the HyperLiquid platform. But "given the number of signups and trading volume I brought in, that's terrible. Their referral program sucks. Other platforms have much better referral programs."
