The rate
One number, one rail, and a signature that sets the same number as its ceiling.
The 0.05% is Ernest's, charged at Act and nowhere else, and it sits on top of Hyperliquid's own taker and maker fees, which the exchange charges on every order whoever placed it. The ceiling, the signature and the approval limit are the protocol's rather than ours, and are readable in Hyperliquid's own documentation.
