How bot permissions work on Hyperliquid
Hyperliquid supports agent wallets: a signed approval that authorizes a specific key to trade on your behalf. The approval is scoped to trading actions, so withdrawal and transfer remain exclusively signable by your own wallet.
That single design choice removes the largest historical failure mode of crypto trading bots — the operator holding customer funds. If a bot asks you to deposit, the risk you are taking is counterparty risk, not strategy risk.
- Agent approval = trade permission, not custody.
- Withdrawals stay signable only by your wallet.
- Approvals can be revoked on-chain at any time.
