Setup & Funding Your Hyperliquid Account

Before you can begin trading on AlgoTrade, whether manually or through automated strategies, you'll need to set up and fund your account on Hyperliquid the decentralized perpetual exchange that powers our infrastructure.

Follow the steps below to get started:

---

Step 1: Launch the Hyperliquid App

Head over to the official site: https://hyperfoundation.org

Click the “Launch App” button in the top-right corner of the page. This will take you to the main trading interface.

---

Step 2: Connect Your Wallet

Once inside the app, click the “Connect” button (top right). You’ll be prompted to connect a Web3 wallet of the supported options.

Authorize the connection when prompted by your wallet provider.

---

Step 3: Deposit to Your Hyperliquid Account

After connecting your wallet, you’ll see a “Deposit” button appear. Click it to initiate the deposit process.

---

Step 4: Bridge Funds to Arbitrum (If Needed)

If your funds are on another chain, you’ll first need to bridge them over to Arbitrum.

We recommend bridging ETH first, since ETH is required for transaction fees on the Arbitrum network.

You can bridge your funds using any major cross-chain bridge (e.g., Hop Protocol, Stargate, or official exchange bridges like Binance or Coinbase withdrawal options to Arbitrum).

Once bridged, return to the Hyperliquid app and complete your deposit in either USDT or USDC.

---

✅ You’re All Set!

Once your deposit is confirmed, your available balance will appear at the bottom of the Hyperliquid dashboard.

You're now ready to begin trading on AlgoTrade, manually or via fully automated strategies through the AlgoBuilder.
