Trading on Hyperliquid, with results you can verify
We trade perpetual futures on Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange. Every trade and position on the account is public, so you can check any number yourself.
What is Hyperliquid
Hyperliquid is a decentralized exchange for perpetual futures, running on its own layer-1 blockchain. The order book, matching and settlement all happen on-chain rather than on a company's servers.
CEX-level speed
Blocks finalize in under a second and orders fill almost instantly. It's a full order book, not an AMM liquidity pool.
No gas for trading
Placing and cancelling orders costs no gas. You only pay the exchange's maker/taker fees.
No sign-up, no KYC
You trade straight from your own wallet, with no registration or identity checks. All you need is a wallet and USDC.
Full transparency
Positions, trades, liquidations and vaults of any address are publicly viewable.
How security works
Your funds don't sit on a company's balance sheet, and withdrawals require your wallet's signature. That doesn't remove every risk: smart-contract bugs, the Arbitrum bridge and the validator set all remain points of failure.
Non-custodial
Funds are tied to your address. Only your wallet's signature can withdraw them.
API wallets without withdrawal rights
Trading is done through a separate dedicated API wallet that can open and close positions but can't withdraw funds.
Consensus and public ledger
The network runs on validators using its own HyperBFT consensus, and every operation is recorded on a public ledger.
Public vaults
If capital is placed in a vault, the manager can trade it but can't withdraw depositors' funds. All positions are visible to everyone.
Our trading
We trade from our own account, and it's open for anyone to check. Below are the main results since May 2023.

How to join us: 6 steps
Create a new wallet (Arbitrum network)
MetaMask will do. It's best to set up a separate wallet just for this. Keep the seed phrase offline and never share it with anyone; we don't need it.
Open the official Hyperliquid exchange
Open app.hyperliquid.xyz and connect your wallet.
Fund your wallet, then your Hyperliquid account
First send funds to your wallet, then from the wallet to your Hyperliquid account (the Deposit button). On Arbitrum you'll need USDC (native, not USDC.e) for trading and ETH for gas; about $5 is enough. The minimum deposit is 5 USDC, and anything below that won't be credited and may be lost.
How to get ETH (and USDC) on Arbitrum
A. Swap in MetaMask
If your wallet already holds tokens on Arbitrum, open Swap and exchange a small part of them for ETH.
B. Bridge in MetaMask
If your funds are on another network (Ethereum, Base, Optimism, etc.), use Bridge in MetaMask: pick the source network and Arbitrum. Fees are higher from Ethereum and usually lower from L2s.
C. Withdraw from a CEX
On Binance, Bybit, OKX and similar exchanges, choose the Arbitrum One network when withdrawing ETH (or USDC) and paste your wallet address. Send a small test transfer first: funds sent to the wrong network or address usually can't be recovered.
We prepare your dedicated API wallet
An API wallet is a separate agent with limited rights: it can place and cancel orders on your account, but can't withdraw funds. The manager creates and stores it, unique to each client. You don't need to create, export or send anything: once the operator binds it, your agent's public address appears in step 6, where you confirm access with one signature.
Important!Your funds stay in your own wallet and your own Hyperliquid account throughout. Your dedicated API wallet can only trade; it can't be used to withdraw funds.
Keys are never shared: we will never ask for your seed phrase, your main wallet's private key or any private key, whether via the website, email or social media.Questions?
Ask any questions about joining via Telegram or email. These channels are for questions only: never send keys or seed phrases.

Approve the terminal fees
For trading to run through the terminals, approve their fee (builder fee) once with your main wallet. It's a signature, not a transaction, so no gas is needed.

The signature only sets a ceiling on the terminal's fee. The fee is a surcharge on top of the exchange's own fees: it is charged only on orders routed through that terminal and never exceeds the stated rate. You can revoke an approval at any time: an approved terminal shows a “Revoke” button.

Confirm trading access for your API wallet
The operator issues each client a personal API wallet (agent). You only see its public address and grant it trading rights on your Main Wallet with one signature. The agent private key stays with the operator and is never passed through this website.
StatusWaiting for API wallet assignmentMain Wallet—API wallet (agent)—Important: the API wallet can open and close positions on your account (it cannot withdraw funds). Leveraged trading carries risk of loss. This is a separate permission — not the builder-fee approvals from step 5. You can revoke it any time: app.hyperliquid.xyz → More → API → remove the agent.
How to disconnect your wallet from trading
You can do this yourself in a couple of minutes. At the protocol level, Hyperliquid doesn't let an API key withdraw funds: it can only place and cancel orders. Your main wallet and your assets stay under your control.
If you have no open positions
- Connect your main wallet at app.hyperliquid.xyz/API.
- Find the right API wallet in the list of authorized ones and revoke its access (the Revoke or Remove button). You don't need to contact anyone.
- Confirm the action with your main wallet's signature and check that the API wallet has disappeared from the list.
- If you want to clear everything, also revoke the terminal fee approvals in the form at step 5 (signed with your main wallet, 0% rate).
- If you use subaccounts, check those as well.
- If you like, withdraw your funds to your own wallet and keep trading on your own.
If you have open positions or orders
Revoking the API wallet doesn't close positions or orders by itself. Here's the order of actions:
- Revoke the API wallet first so it can't open new positions or change leverage. This is the most urgent step.
- Cancel all open orders (limit, stop, TP/SL) from your main wallet. Otherwise they can still trigger after the revoke.
- Decide what to do with the positions: close them fully, close part, or keep them with your own stops. Watch the liquidation price, and if it's close, you can add margin.
- You can withdraw once the positions are closed: free balance can be withdrawn right away, while margin backing positions is released after they close.
- Review your trade history for the period when the API wallet was running the account.
Good to know
The trader can't withdraw your funds. The API wallet only lets them place and cancel orders; withdrawals require the signature of your main wallet.
The revoke takes effect immediately. After it, the API wallet stops working on your account and can't sign new actions.
Revoking and withdrawing are done only with your main wallet. The API wallet's key can't do either.
Terminal fees are revoked separately. Revoking the API wallet doesn't cancel them: the approval stays valid until you sign its revocation (a 0% rate) with your main wallet.
Check your list of API wallets from time to time and remove the ones you don't need.
Button names in the interface may change, so go by the API section on the exchange itself.
