FAQ
Common questions about HyperLink: confidentiality, deposits and withdrawals, fees, trading, and API integration.
How does HyperLink relate to Hyperliquid?
HyperLink is a confidential trading layer built on top of Hyperliquid. The enclave routes your orders into Hyperliquid's order book, so you get Hyperliquid's liquidity and execution while your balances, positions, and open orders stay confidential. HyperLink mirrors Hyperliquid's API and EIP-712 signing, so existing Hyperliquid tooling works against it.
What stays confidential, and what is public?
Balances and PnL
Deposit amounts
Open positions
Withdrawal amounts
Open orders, order and fill history
Only deposits and withdrawals are visible on-chain. See Security.
Can the HyperLink team see my trades?
No. The enclave is hardware-isolated; no one outside it can read your balances, positions, or orders, or extract keys. You can read your own state only with your own signature.
How do I know it runs the right code, and that my funds are backed?
The enclave publishes a measurement of the running code, and HyperLink commits reserve data on-chain. See Security.
Can I withdraw if HyperLink goes offline?
Yes. You can withdraw on-chain to your wallet if HyperLink goes offline. Funds are never trapped. See Deposits & Withdrawals.
What are the minimums and fees?
There is no deposit fee. Deposits and withdrawals are gasless. See Fees for current minimums and withdrawal fees.
Can I deposit any token?
No. Only allowlisted tokens can be deposited. The app shows the current set in the deposit dialog.
What does it cost, and how much leverage can I use?
HyperLink pools volume and staking benefits so users can access the lowest Hyperliquid trading fee rates available to the protocol. See Fees. Maximum leverage is per-asset and currently lower than Hyperliquid's max margin tier for the same asset. See Trading for how HyperLink differs from Hyperliquid.
What happens to Hyperliquid points or airdrops when I trade through HyperLink?
Any retroactive points or airdrops received by the protocol will be distributed pro rata based on user trading volume. HyperLink will clearly announce each distribution.
How is auto-deleveraging (ADL) handled?
ADL follows Hyperliquid's priority: positions are deleveraged by profitability, highest unrealized ROE first. Your exposure matches trading Hyperliquid directly.
Can I trade both spot and perps?
Yes. Spot and DEX balances are separate; transfer between them using the sendAsset action.
Is there a HyperLink SDK?
Use the HyperLink Python SDK for Python integrations. For other languages, use a Hyperliquid SDK pointed at the HyperLink base URL. See SDKs.
How do I create an API key?
An API key is an approved agent wallet. Create one in the web app (Settings → API → Generate) or with the approveAgent action. Agents can trade and query but cannot withdraw. See Authentication & Keys.
