Hyperliquid · API wallet connection
Connect Hyperliquid.
Keep your funds
in your own account.
Antei connects to your Hyperliquid account through an API wallet, a Hyperliquid key that can place orders but can never withdraw. You create it on Hyperliquid, give Antei its private key and your main wallet's public address, and approve Antei's builder fee once with your main wallet. Your funds never leave your Hyperliquid account, and you can revoke the API wallet at any time.
01 · How it works
How Hyperliquid works on Antei
Create your account
Sign up at antei.ai and open Hyperliquid under Connect in your dashboard.
Create an API wallet
On app.hyperliquid.xyz/API, generate an API wallet and authorize it from your main wallet. It can trade for you but cannot move funds out.
Add it to Antei
Enter your main wallet's public address and the API wallet's private key, never your main wallet's key. Antei encrypts the key and verifies it with Hyperliquid.
Approve the builder fee once
Before your first live trade, sign a one-time builder fee approval with your main wallet, in a browser wallet or by signing manually.
Check balance and expiry
See your balance, verify the connection, and get a warning before the API wallet expires so you can replace it in time.
02 · Capabilities
What you can do with Hyperliquid
Balance check
See the account balance your strategies trade with, straight from Hyperliquid.
Replace or disconnect
Rotate to a new API wallet or disconnect Hyperliquid in one step.
Expiry warnings
Antei warns you before an API wallet expires, so a strategy does not stop by surprise.
Set up from your AI assistant
Connect Hyperliquid from Claude Code, Codex or claude.ai: the assistant saves your API wallet over MCP, and main wallet keys are refused.
One account for every strategy
Pine Script, Python and Node.js deployments all trade through the Hyperliquid account you connected.
03 · Safety
Trading access, never custody
- An API wallet can place and cancel orders but cannot withdraw or transfer funds.
- Antei never asks for your main wallet's private key or seed phrase. Never share them with anyone.
- API wallet keys are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, and strategy code never sees them.
- Revoke the API wallet on Hyperliquid or disconnect it in Antei whenever you want.
04 · FAQ
Hyperliquid questions, answered
Is it safe to connect Hyperliquid to a trading bot?
It is when the bot uses an API wallet, which can trade but cannot withdraw. Antei works only that way: you approve an API wallet on Hyperliquid, your funds stay in your own account, and you can revoke the wallet at any time.
What is a Hyperliquid API wallet?
An API wallet, also called an agent wallet, is a separate key that your main Hyperliquid wallet authorizes to trade on its behalf. It can place and cancel orders but cannot withdraw funds, which makes it the safe way to connect trading software.
Where do my funds stay when Antei trades?
In your own Hyperliquid account. Antei never takes custody: it places orders through the API wallet you approved, and your balance, margin, profits and losses stay in your account.
What is the builder fee approval?
A one-time signature from your main wallet that lets Antei add its builder fee to the orders it places for you. You approve it once before your first live trade, in a browser wallet or by signing manually.
Can I connect Hyperliquid from Claude or Codex?
Yes. Connect Antei's MCP server, then give your assistant your main wallet's public address and the API wallet's private key. Antei saves the key encrypted, checks it with Hyperliquid and refuses main wallet keys.
