Introduction
Quick start
What you need
- An ordinary EVM wallet: a browser wallet, or any wallet that connects through WalletConnect. Smart-contract wallets cannot sign for the exchange, because the contracts verify plain signatures.
- At least 10 USDC in USDC, on Hyperliquid, on HyperEVM or on one of the bridged chains enabled for deposits (routes).
1. Connect
Open the app, press Connect and choose your wallet. Then press Enable trading: your wallet signs one message that registers a session key, a key created in your browser that may open and close positions for your account and nothing else. It stays valid for 30 days unless you revoke it, and after that one signature normal trading needs no more wallet popups.
2. Deposit
Press Deposit and choose where your funds are. The app sends them to your personal deposit address, which is derived from your wallet address and belongs to you alone. A transfer from Hyperliquid is credited within a few blocks; a deposit from another chain also waits for its bridge. At least 10 USDC has to arrive after fees, and the app shows the least each route needs to send. See Deposits and withdrawals.
3. Trade
Pick a market, long or short, the margin (at least $10) and the leverage (up to 1000×), and press Buy or Sell. The position opens at Hyperliquid’s mid in the block where it executes, and the ticket shows its bust price before you place it. Close whenever you like: the close reads the mid again and settles the result against the LP. You pay no gas and see no popup per trade; the relayer pays the gas and the session key signs.
