Why can't I withdraw from Hyperliquid?
Withdrawals start from the Withdraw button in the app; the L1 validators sign the request and send it to the bridge contract, and funds arrive in your own wallet. Use Withdraw, not Send, to move funds off Hyperliquid: Send only moves tokens to another Hyperliquid account. Hyperliquid documents 2 reasons a withdrawal can be delayed or held, listed below.
Checked 2026-10-17 · 3 sources- Fee: $1 fee for withdrawing, per the API docs at the time of writing; depending on chain and method there may also be small gas fees.
- Timing: Approximately 5 minutes to finalize; longer if the networks are congested.
- Sending funds to an exchange address with Send instead of Withdraw means only that exchange address can access them; Hyperliquid warns against this.
- BTC, ETH and SOL withdrawals are run by the independent Unit team; failed ones are handled through Unit's support group.
- Anyone offering to "recover" funds for a fee, or asking for your login or seed phrase, is running a scam.
