How custody works
Your funds never leave your Hyperliquid account.
We never hold your money — that is what non-custodial means. Custody is about who can take it out of your account: you can, and we cannot. Here's exactly what that means, and what the bot literally cannot do.
What you approve
Connecting takes two signatures in your wallet. You give our bot a limited key — Hyperliquid calls this an agent wallet. The bot uses this key to place orders, cancel orders and set leverage for the traders you choose. Both signatures are messages you sign in your wallet, so there is no network fee to pay (no gas) and no funds are moved. Hyperliquid records the approval. Your wallet shows you each message before you sign it. See the connect flow →
What the bot literally cannot do
- ✕Withdraw your funds.Enforced by Hyperliquid agent permissions — not a Hypertide promise.
- ✕Send your funds to another address.Enforced by Hyperliquid's agent permissions — not by us.
- ✕Take the money that backs your trades out of your account.That money — your collateral — stays in your own Hyperliquid account the whole time. Hyperliquid gives the agent no way to withdraw it or send it to another address.
- ✕Touch your main wallet key.It never leaves your wallet and is never sent to us.
- ✕Keep trading after you switch its key off (revoke it).One signature in your wallet and the agent is gone.
- ✕Charge more than 0.1%.Hyperliquid lets an app earn a fee on the orders it sends. Hyperliquid caps that builder fee at 0.1% on perpetual futures, so we cannot charge more. See fees →
Your keys
Your main wallet key never leaves your wallet. It is never sent to Hypertide. The limited agent key does sit on our servers, and it is stored scrambled, never in plain text — AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption, a fresh random IV for every key, so each key is scrambled with its own one-time random number.
Pull out any second
Your money sits in your own Hyperliquid account. You can withdraw it on Hyperliquid whenever you want. You can also switch the bot's key off yourself at any time, which is called revoking it. You do that by registering a fresh agent of the same name. Hyperliquid replaces the old one, and the bot's access is gone.
No token, no airdrop — ever
We will never issue a token or run an airdrop. We make money only on the builder fee — Hyperliquid's own way of paying an app for the orders it sends. It is 0.10% of every order that fills, opening and closing, so about $2 per $1,000 for a round trip, and it drops to 0.05% once you have routed $10,000 of opening trades through Hypertide in the last 30 days.

What we don't claim
No third-party security audit yet. The code is closed-source today.
Our trust case rests on what you can verify yourself. Hyperliquid's own rules decide what the agent may do, not us. You can switch the agent off with one signature in your wallet whenever you like. Neither of those asks you to take a claim on faith.
