HyperCopy
Both products aim at the same outcome — someone else's Hyperliquid decisions expressed in your account — and they sit on the same venue, so the same public fill history is available to both. The difference is where the judgement lives. A follow-a-trader tool leaves selection, sizing and replacement with you. HyperMirror turns those three things into a scored, maintained process.
In short
HyperCopy is best understood as a select-and-follow copy tool: you decide which Hyperliquid trader to mirror, and your outcome is mostly a function of that choice and of how long you stay with it. HyperMirror removes the choice deliberately — a composite score selects up to 10 leaders into a sticky basket, capital is weighted by score, each leader trades inside its own sub-account, and leaders that trip an emergency rule or accumulate enough soft-issue strikes are replaced.
| Dimension | HyperMirror | HyperCopy |
|---|---|---|
| Primary venue | Hyperliquid only | Hyperliquid |
| Custody model | Non-custodial; funds stay in your own Hyperliquid account | Depends on the mechanism used — confirm whether funds stay in your own account or are deposited to the operator |
| Permission model | Trade-only agent approval plus a separate builder-fee approval | Confirm whether it requests a trade-only agent approval or something broader |
| Can the operator withdraw your funds? | No — withdrawals and transfers stay wallet-only | Unknown from public material — verify before approving |
| What you copy | A curated basket of up to 10 scored elite Hyperliquid traders | A trader you select yourself |
| Portfolio construction | Score-weighted allocation; 1 leader in Starter mode, up to 10 in Full mode | Manual: you choose the leader and the size |
| Position isolation / netting | One isolated sub-account per leader; no netting between leaders | Typically one account, so positions net together |
| Leader replacement policy | Sticky basket: immediate removal on an emergency, otherwise 3 strike-days of documented soft issues | Not documented as a fixed rule set — rotation is left to the user or to the provider's discretion |
| Fee model | 0.1% builder fee on mirrored notional volume; no profit share | Check the provider's current pricing; do not assume a fee model |
| Transparency | On-chain: every fill sits under your own address | On-chain fills where the design is non-custodial |
| Ops burden | Hosted autopilot; nothing to run or host yourself | You monitor and decide when to switch leaders |
| Best for | Someone who wants diversified Hyperliquid exposure without giving up custody | Someone following one specific trader by choice |
HyperMirror fits when you want a maintained, diversified basket with per-leader isolation, running without your attention.
HyperCopy may fit better when you have specific conviction in one trader and want to follow exactly that account.
On Hyperliquid, custody is a design choice rather than a constraint, because the chain offers a permission that is narrower than ownership. HyperMirror uses exactly that: a trade-only agent approval that can submit orders and nothing else, plus a separate builder-fee approval that grants no trading rights at all. Withdrawals, transfers and ownership changes stay signable only by your own wallet.
The honest position on any newer tool is that you should read its own documentation rather than infer custody from its branding. Two checks settle it quickly: does the flow ever ask you to send funds to an address you do not control, and does the permission you sign name a trade-only agent or something wider?
Where a provider's public documentation does not state custody, permission scope or fee mechanics unambiguously, treat it as unknown rather than favourable, and verify it in that provider's own docs before approving anything.
HyperMirror charges 0.1% of mirrored notional volume through Hyperliquid's native builder-fee mechanism, capped by a rate you sign yourself. There is no subscription and no profit share. The alignment is imperfect in a way worth stating: a volume-based fee rewards activity, so a leader who trades more generates more fee at the same profitability.
We do not publish other providers' pricing as fact, because it changes and we cannot verify it for you. What is worth comparing is the mechanism, not the headline number: a profit share costs nothing in drawdowns but creates an incentive toward variance; a subscription is paid whether you trade or not; a spread markup is the hardest of the three to audit because it is embedded in your fill price rather than itemised.
With a select-and-follow tool, the mechanism is straightforward and the difficulty is human: you must pick a leader from public history, size the exposure, and then decide — usually three months later, during a drawdown — whether the edge has decayed or is simply out of phase. That decision is where most copy-trading outcomes are actually determined.
HyperMirror runs that loop procedurally. Public fill history is scored on realized PnL consistency, win rate, profit factor, position discipline and account survivability, with floors that must be cleared before a trader is eligible at all. Capital is then allocated in proportion to score rather than split equally, and each leader is given its own sub-account. Isolation is the part that is easy to underrate: Hyperliquid nets positions within an account, so copying two leaders into one account lets one leader's long cancel another's short — you end up flat while carrying the cost of both sides and lose per-leader attribution entirely.
Every copy system eventually meets a leader whose edge stops working. Following a single chosen trader concentrates that event: their drawdown is your drawdown, at full size, with nothing else in the book to offset it, and the exit decision lands on you at the least comfortable moment.
HyperMirror handles decay as a rule rather than a judgement call. Thin activity, excess drawdown or weak ROI accrue at most one strike per day, and three strike-days trigger replacement with their sub-account positions closed. Emergencies — such as account value collapsing — trigger replacement immediately without waiting for a scheduled review. The system also deliberately resists over-rotation, because a higher score alone never forces a swap and churning leaders after one bad week generates cost and tracking error without adding information.
None of this removes market risk. A basket softens idiosyncratic leader failure; it does not protect you from a move that hits every leader at once.
Choose HyperMirror if: you want diversified Hyperliquid exposure you do not have to operate, you want per-leader isolation rather than one netting account, and you prefer a fee that only applies to volume actually mirrored.
Choose HyperCopy if: you have researched one trader and want precisely that exposure, you would rather make the switch decisions yourself, and you are comfortable that your result is tied to a single decision-maker.
Where HyperMirror is limited: Hyperliquid only, so no multi-venue coverage; one leader until the $100k volume unlock; isolated sub-accounts fragment margin, which is less capital-efficient than netting; and you cannot hand-pick leaders — the score does.
Where HyperCopy is limited: your outcome depends on your own selection and your own timing of the exit; a single netting account muddies attribution if you follow more than one trader; and custody, permission scope and fees have to be verified in the provider's own documentation rather than assumed.
HyperMirror's side of every row above follows one published rule set. The Elite basket is sticky: a leader stays mirrored until a rule removes them, and a higher-scoring wallet elsewhere never forces a swap. Emergencies — account value below roughly $1,000, or no fill for 96 hours or more combined with zero trades in 7 days — remove a leader immediately. Everything softer accrues at most one strike per wallet per UTC calendar day, with three strike-days triggering replacement and a clean day resetting the counter; drawdown for that test is measured on jump-adjusted equity so deposits and withdrawals are not read as trading losses, and ROI is measured from PnL. The full table is on How it works and in the documentation.
Structure changes which risks you carry, not whether you carry risk. Nothing on this page is a return estimate, a recommendation, or a claim about another provider's results — check any provider's own documentation before deciding.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Perpetual futures are leveraged instruments and carry a substantial risk of loss, including the loss of your entire position.
Methodology
Scoring and replacement are documented in full on How it works and in the Docs (Policy v3). In short: the Elite basket is sticky, emergencies remove a leader immediately, and soft issues accrue at most one strike per UTC day with three strike-days triggering replacement. Read how it works or the documentation for the full table.
Questions
That depends on the mechanism it uses, and we will not state it as fact on this page. Check whether the flow asks you to deposit anywhere you do not control and whether the permission you sign is a trade-only agent approval. HyperMirror is non-custodial: funds stay in your own Hyperliquid account and the agent approval cannot withdraw.
Because selection is the part that most often goes wrong. Scoring applies the same floors and the same weighting rule every cycle, and it will demote a leader you would have kept.
Yes — Starter mode mirrors a single scored leader, with the same isolation and risk controls, until mirrored volume reaches $100,000 and Full mode unlocks up to 10 leaders.
No. We describe fee mechanisms rather than quoting anyone else's prices, which change. Use the provider's own documentation for current pricing.
No. Fill prices, account size and funding accrual all differ, so results diverge in both directions. That divergence is structural rather than a defect.
