Approving and revoking an agent, safely

Before you sign: four checks

Every one of these is a thirty-second check that removes a category of risk. None of them are specific to HyperMirror; they are the baseline for any signature request.

• Confirm the domain in the address bar is the site you intended to use, not a lookalike reached from a link or an ad.
• Read the typed message in your wallet. An agent approval is human-readable and should describe authorising an agent — not a transfer, and not a token allowance.
• Confirm the connected wallet is the one that owns the Hyperliquid account you want mirrored.
• Deposit on Hyperliquid yourself first. There is never a platform address to send funds to.

The approval sequence

Two signatures are requested and they do different things. Neither of them moves money.

• Sign the agent approval — this grants trade-only permission on your account.
• Sign the builder-fee approval — this sets the maximum fee rate that can be charged on mirrored volume.
• Verify afterwards that the agent appears as authorised on your Hyperliquid account.

Pausing versus revoking

Pausing autopilot from the dashboard stops the system from acting while leaving the approval in place. It is the reversible choice and the right one for a temporary stop.

Revoking removes the permission itself and does not depend on the platform being cooperative or even online. Resuming afterwards requires a fresh approval.

Revoking cleanly

Revocation is a de-authorisation from your own wallet. The important detail is sequencing: closing a position is itself a trading action, so once the agent is gone, nothing can close anything on your behalf.

• Decide first whether you want open positions closed or kept.
• If you want them flat, stop autopilot with flattening before revoking, or close them yourself afterwards.
• Revoke the agent from the approving wallet; mirroring stops immediately.
• Optionally revoke the builder-fee approval as well — with no mirrored volume, no fee accrues either way.

Common mistakes

Two failure patterns account for most avoidable pain. The first is revoking with leveraged positions open and then not managing them: an unmanaged position can still be liquidated. The second is expecting revocation to be a withdrawal — there is nothing to withdraw from HyperMirror, because nothing was ever held.

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.
