}

​
Withdrawal process

  1. Initiation — Request sent to Hyperliquid
  2. Validation — System validates balance and parameters
  3. Signing — L1 validators sign the withdrawal
  4. Bridge interaction — Withdrawal sent to Arbitrum bridge contract
  5. Completion — USDC arrives in Arbitrum wallet (~5 minutes)

​
Use cases

  • Profit taking — Withdraw trading profits to Arbitrum
  • Bridge to other chains — Move funds to Arbitrum for further bridging
  • Risk management — Reduce exposure by moving funds off-platform
  • Treasury management — Regular withdrawal schedules
Ensure you have enough USDC to cover both the withdrawal amount and the $1 fee. The fee is deducted from your Hyperliquid balance, not from the withdrawal amount.
Withdrawals are irreversible once initiated. Always verify the destination address on Arbitrum. The address must be a valid Arbitrum address that can receive USDC.
