FAQ
Most questions, answered. Email [email protected] for anything else.
What is HyperTap?
A native iOS and Android app for Hyperliquid, the on-chain perpetual futures exchange. We don't custody funds. Your wallet signs one approval that creates a trading-only agent key; HyperTap places, cancels, and modifies orders behind biometrics.
Is HyperTap an official Hyperliquid product?
No. HyperTap is an independent client built on Hyperliquid's public agent-wallet API. Hyperliquid does not endorse, control, or operate it.
How does it work without my private key?
On first launch you approve a trading-only agent key with your master wallet. WalletConnect users keep that key on-device in the secure enclave behind Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode. Email or social-login users get the same permissions via a KMS-encrypted server-held key — still withdraw-blocked at the protocol level.
Can HyperTap drain my funds?
No. The agent key cannot withdraw, transfer, or approve other agents — enforced by Hyperliquid, not by app policy. Worst case a compromised HyperTap can place unauthorized trades that you can close. Withdrawals always require your master wallet's signature.
How does the biometric session lock work?
Every order routes through the on-device agent key behind Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. The session re-locks when the app backgrounds, so a borrowed phone cannot place trades without you. No biometric, no signature.
Which wallets work?
Anything that speaks WalletConnect v2: MetaMask Mobile, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow, Trust, OKX, and more. No wallet? Email and social login work too — in that mode the trading key is held server-side under KMS encryption and still cannot withdraw.
What chains can I deposit from?
USDC on Arbitrum One through Hyperliquid's Bridge2 contract is the native deposit path (5 USDC minimum, enforced at the input). If your USDC sits on another chain, the in-app cross-chain bridge handles Ethereum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, and BSC via LI.FI.
Can I deposit with a card or bank?
No. HyperTap does not operate a fiat on-ramp. There are no card payments, bank transfers, or custodial accounts; deposits arrive as USDC that you bridge to Hyperliquid. We never touch money.
What fees does HyperTap take?
A builder fee of 0.005% per order, collected through Hyperliquid's native builder field — no extra contracts. The exact rate is shown in the order panel before you trade and can never exceed the cap your wallet approved. It stacks on top of Hyperliquid's own trading fees.
Are trailing stops supported?
No. Hyperliquid doesn't ship native trailing stops, so HyperTap doesn't fake them either. We do ship TP/SL brackets that attach to the same order, and a stop-trigger disclosure that explains stops fire on the oracle mark, not the last trade.
Do I need to complete KYC?
No. HyperTap is non-custodial — you trade with your own wallet's signed approvals. There is no account verification step. We do enforce geographic restrictions at the auth and trade endpoints.
What if I'm in the US?
HyperTap is not available in the United States. The App Store and Play Store listings are geo-restricted, and the backend blocks auth and trade-place from US IP addresses. We mirror Hyperliquid's restricted-region list — also unavailable in Ontario, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk.
Why is there a demo mode?
Perps are dangerous. Demo mode lets you trade $10,000 of virtual margin against live Hyperliquid prices before you put real capital at risk — no deposit, no wallet, no email. Switch to live whenever you're ready.
Do you sell my data?
No. We don't track you across apps, don't sell to advertisers, don't share with brokers. Product analytics is opt-in and off by default — fresh installs send nothing. Crash reports go to Sentry without PII.
What happens if HyperTap shuts down tomorrow?
Nothing happens to your money. Funds and positions live on Hyperliquid, not with us. You revoke the agent key from app.hyperliquid.xyz and keep trading anywhere else.
How do I delete my account?
Settings → Account → Delete account. We drop server-side keys, scrub push tokens and sessions, and anonymize your email.
