What is Hyperliquid?

Hyperliquid is a decentralized perpetuals and spot exchange built on its own high-performance Layer-1 blockchain. Unlike most DEXs that run on top of general-purpose chains, Hyperliquid's L1 uses the HyperBFT consensus mechanism to process up to 200,000 orders per second with sub-second finality.

Founded by Harvard alumni who previously ran Chameleon Trading, a crypto market-making firm, Hyperliquid was designed from the ground up for algorithmic and high-frequency trading. The exchange launched in 2023 and quickly became one of the leading on-chain perpetuals venues by volume.

The exchange is entirely self-funded, with no venture capital backing, and features a fully on-chain order book—meaning all trades, balances, and liquidations are transparent and verifiable on-chain.

Why Use a Trading Bot on Hyperliquid?

Built for Algorithmic Trading

Hyperliquid processes up to 200,000 orders per second with sub-second confirmation. Its API was designed from day one for automated trading systems.

No KYC, No Custodial Risk

Your funds remain in your wallet. There is no account creation or identity verification. Gainium connects via an agent wallet—your main wallet private key is never exposed.

Industry-Leading Low Fees

At 0.015% maker and 0.045% taker base rates for perpetuals, Hyperliquid is one of the cheapest venues for high-frequency bot trading. Volume discounts can reduce taker fees to 0.024% with zero maker fees. Lower fees mean more profit per trade cycle.

Full Order Type Support

Limit, market, stop market, stop limit, take profit, reduce-only, post-only, scale orders, and TWAP—Hyperliquid supports a comprehensive range of order types. For trailing stops, Gainium adds this capability via the API.

Delta-Neutral Strategies

Use Hyperliquid subaccounts to run long and short bots simultaneously on the same pair. Each subaccount has isolated margin, enabling market-neutral and delta-neutral approaches without native hedge mode.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, Hyperliquid does not require KYC (Know Your Customer) verification. As a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on its own Layer-1 blockchain, there is no account registration, no email sign-up, and no identity verification. You simply connect an EVM-compatible wallet such as MetaMask and start trading immediately.

Per Hyperliquid's Terms of Service, the following are restricted: United States (all states and territories), Ontario (Canada), North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Syria, Russia, Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, and other OFAC-sanctioned territories. US persons are prohibited regardless of physical location. The restrictions apply to anyone residing in, located in, incorporated in, or a citizen of these jurisdictions. Hyperliquid is accessible in 180+ countries. Always review the current Terms of Service at app.hyperliquid.xyz/terms for the up-to-date list of restricted jurisdictions before trading.

Yes, Hyperliquid supports spot trading in addition to perpetual futures, launched in April 2024. Over 100 spot assets are available, powered by the HIP-1 native token framework which allows projects to launch tokens directly on the Hyperliquid L1 via Dutch auction. The spot market uses the same fully on-chain order book as perpetuals with real price-time priority matching. Spot trading fees are 0.07% for takers and 0.04% for makers at the base tier. Quote assets include USDC, USDH, and USDT depending on the pair.

Hyperliquid uses a volume-tiered maker/taker fee schedule with 7 VIP tiers based on trailing 14-day volume. Base rates (VIP 0, under $5M volume): perpetuals maker 0.015%, taker 0.045%; spot maker 0.040%, taker 0.070%. At VIP 4 ($500M+ volume), maker fee drops to 0% on perps. At VIP 6 ($7B+ volume), perp taker drops to 0.024%. HYPE staking provides additional discounts of 5%–40% depending on stake size. Spot volume counts double toward tier calculations. A 4% lifetime referral discount is available — you can claim it by signing up at app.hyperliquid.xyz/join/GAINIUM. Builder fees (charged by third-party integrations) can add up to 0.1% on perps and up to 1.0% on spot on top of these base fees.

A builder fee is an optional extra fee charged by third-party platforms, trading bots, wallets, or API integrations that build on top of Hyperliquid. The maximum builder fee is 0.1% (10 basis points) on perpetuals and 1.0% (100 basis points) on spot. Builder fees go directly to the third-party developer, not to Hyperliquid. Users must explicitly approve a maximum builder fee per builder address and can revoke permission at any time. When using Gainium to trade on Hyperliquid, you can choose between Free User mode (builder fees apply, no credit consumption) or Paid User mode (no builder fees, credits consumed).

No, Hyperliquid does not natively support trailing stop orders or trailing stop loss on its exchange. The platform supports stop market, stop limit, take profit market, take profit limit, scale orders, and TWAP orders, but not a built-in trailing stop that follows price automatically. Gainium fills this gap: the Gainium smart trading terminal implements trailing stop logic on top of Hyperliquid's API, so you can set a trailing stop on any Hyperliquid position through Gainium without writing any code.

Hyperliquid does not have a native hedge mode toggle like Binance or Bybit. The exchange uses one-way position mode by default—opening an opposing position reduces or closes the existing one. However, you can effectively achieve hedge mode using subaccounts: open a long on subaccount 1 and a short on subaccount 2. Each subaccount has independent margin and positions. Hyperliquid supports up to 10 subaccounts per master wallet, giving you up to 10 isolated positions on the same asset. Additionally, Hyperliquid's Portfolio Margin feature (in pre-alpha) recognizes hedging effects between positions and can free up collateral for improved capital efficiency. A spot-long + perps-short delta-neutral approach is also a popular hedging pattern on the platform.

To connect your wallet to Hyperliquid, visit app.hyperliquid.xyz and click "Connect." Hyperliquid supports MetaMask, WalletConnect, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, OKX Wallet, Phantom, and other EVM-compatible wallets. Select your wallet, approve the connection, then click "Enable Trading" to sign a gasless EIP-712 typed signature. You can also log in with an email address—a new blockchain address is automatically created for you. No KYC or account creation is required. Tip: signing up via the link above gives you a 4% lifetime fee discount.

Open MetaMask, ensure you are on Ethereum mainnet or Arbitrum, then visit app.hyperliquid.xyz. Click "Connect," select MetaMask from the list, and approve the connection request in the MetaMask popup. Then click "Enable Trading" and sign the gasless transaction. Your wallet is now connected and you can deposit USDC to start trading. To add the HyperEVM network to MetaMask manually, use Chain ID 999 with the currency symbol HYPE.

Hyperliquid uses USDC as its primary collateral, with a minimum deposit of 5 USDC. To deposit, click "Deposit" on app.hyperliquid.xyz and bridge USDC from Arbitrum (recommended for lowest fees). First-time users must approve USDC spending. Deposits typically arrive in under a minute. Hyperliquid also accepts BTC on Bitcoin, ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, and other assets that can be sold for USDC on the platform. USDT is supported as a quote asset on some trading pairs, and you can receive USDT directly when bridging via Across Protocol.

To bridge funds to Hyperliquid, use the built-in bridge at app.hyperliquid.xyz. Click "Deposit," select the source chain (Arbitrum is recommended for lowest fees and fastest confirmation), enter the amount of USDC you want to bridge, and confirm the transaction in your wallet. Funds typically arrive in under a minute. You can also use third-party bridges like deBridge (which can auto-convert ETH and other assets to USDC) or Across Protocol (which supports USDC, USDH, and USDT). You will need some ETH in your wallet for Arbitrum gas fees.

Hyperliquid supports up to 10 sub-accounts per main wallet address. Each subaccount gets its own Ethereum address and has independent margin and positions. Sub-accounts allow you to isolate strategies, manage separate risk profiles, or run multiple bots independently without creating entirely new wallets. You can transfer USDC and spot tokens between master and subaccounts. All subaccounts share fee tiers with the master account. For automated trading, it is recommended to use separate API wallets for different subaccounts to avoid nonce collisions.

An agent wallet (also called an API wallet) is a delegated signing key that can sign and submit orders on behalf of your main trading account. You generate an agent wallet in Hyperliquid under More > API, provide a name, click "Generate," then "Authorize API Wallet." Agent wallets can be set with an expiration (up to 180 days) and can trade but cannot withdraw funds. This allows trading bots and automated systems—like Gainium—to execute orders without exposing your main wallet's private key. It is recommended to generate a new agent wallet for each integration and use separate API wallets for different subaccounts to avoid nonce collisions.

Hyperliquid provides a REST API (Info endpoint with 50+ query methods, and Exchange endpoint for trading operations) and a WebSocket API for real-time order book, trade feed, liquidation, and funding rate updates. The API also includes JSON-RPC for historical block queries. Official SDKs are available for Python and TypeScript/JavaScript on GitHub. Hyperliquid uses a unique nonce system optimized for high-frequency trading rather than Ethereum's sequential nonce. Rate limits start at 10,000 requests per address and scale with cumulative trading volume.

Yes. Hyperliquid is designed with API traders in mind—it processes up to 200,000 orders per second with sub-second confirmation via its HyperBFT consensus, and charges zero gas fees for orders on its native L1. Gainium integrates directly with Hyperliquid so you can run DCA bots, grid bots, combo bots, and smart trades without writing any code. Your funds remain non-custodial in your own wallet. Connect via the agent wallet setup in your Gainium account to get started.

Hyperliquid itself does not have a built-in DCA bot feature. However, Gainium provides a fully-featured DCA bot that integrates with Hyperliquid via API. You can configure entry conditions, safety orders with custom spacing, take profit targets, trailing stop loss, and repeat-on-TP settings, then let the bot run automatically 24/7 on Hyperliquid perpetuals and spot markets. The DCA bot automatically places additional buy orders at lower prices if the market dips, averaging down your entry price and taking profit on pullbacks.

The official Hyperliquid trading app is available at app.hyperliquid.xyz. This is the native interface for spot and perpetuals trading, portfolio management, bridging, and API key setup.

Hyperliquid uses embedded TradingView charts that rely on WebSocket connections for real-time data. If your chart is not loading, try these fixes in order: (1) Clear your browser cache and cookies—this is the most common fix. (2) Try incognito/private mode—if charts work there, a browser extension is likely interfering. (3) Disable ad blockers and privacy extensions. (4) Switch browsers—Chrome is generally most reliable for TradingView. (5) Disable hardware acceleration in browser settings. (6) If using MetaMask, enable it in incognito mode via Chrome Settings > Extensions > MetaMask > "Allow in incognito." (7) Close other tabs with TradingView to reduce memory usage.
