RIVER is now trading on Hyperliquid spot.
This is River's first move into the Hyperliquid ecosystem, with more integrations planned.
To mark the listing, River is running a two-phase campaign across 17 days — $3,000 RIVER and 300,000 River Pts in total rewards, split across two independent pools. Both phases run on separate schedules. You can join one or both.
Rewards settle after Apr 19 following final on—chain verification.
What Is Hyperliquid?
Hyperliquid is a decentralized L1 blockchain built around a fully on-chain order book. It matches trades at the speed of a centralized exchange while assets stay non-custodial throughout. Beyond spot and perpetuals, the ecosystem supports borrowing, lending, RWAs, and equities via HIP-3.
- $2.95T in cumulative volume, averaging $8.34B per day
- 1.4M+ users across perpetuals and spot markets
- 70%+ share of the on-chain perpetuals market
- 100+ assets across crypto perpetuals, spot, equities, and RWAs
$RIVER on Hyperliquid Spot means on-chain trading with no bridge dependency and no third-party custody risk.
Phase 1 — Hold & Earn | Apr 3–10
Daily snapshots record your HyperCore spot balance across 8 days. Rewards are based on your average balance across the full period.
- Apr 3-10
Rewards
- $1,500 RIVER — 250 wallets drawn by lottery, weighted by average balance
- 150,000 River Pts — all qualifying holders, proportional to average balance
The eligible balance is your HyperCore spot balance only. Bridging to HyperEVM and stopping there will not be counted.
Phase 2 — Trading Competition | Apr 5–19
Trade RIVER/USDC spot. Both buys and sells count toward gross volume.
Rewards
- $1,500 RIVER — top 20 wallets by gross volume
- 150,000 River Pts — all wallets with $100+ gross volume, proportional. Below $100 receives nothing.
Rules
- Volume = all filled buys + all filled sells (net position irrelevant)
- Top 20 wallets by gross volume share $1,500 RIVER
- Volume per wallet capped at $100,000
How to Bridge RIVER to Hyperliquid Spot ( HyperCore )
Getting RIVER onto Hyperliquid spot requires two steps, not one.
When you bridge from an external chain, RIVER lands on HyperEVM first. From there, you need to manually transfer it to HyperCore — the layer where spot trading and balance snapshots actually run.
Both steps are quick, but skipping the second one means your RIVER never reaches the spot wallet.
Step 1 — Bridge RIVER to HyperEVM
- Navigate to Bridge https://app.river.inc/bridge
- Bridge RIVER to HyperEVM
- Received RIVER on HyperEVM
Step 2 — Transfer from HyperEVM to HyperCore
- Go to Hyperliquid https://app.hyperliquid.xyz/trade
- Find RIVER in your balance
- Transfer from HyperEVM → Spot ( HyperCore )
- Receive RIVER on Hyperliquid Spot
Transfer RIVER to Hyperliquid
Two things to note before you start:
- You need a small amount of HYPE to cover gas on Hyperliquid
- Make sure the final balance lands in your spot wallet, not a perp margin position
