Hyperliquid
Trade perpetual futures on-chain with centralized-exchange speed — sub-second execution, deep orderbooks, and no gas fees on every trade.
Prerequisites
- OKX OnChain OS installed and OKX Agentic Wallet connected to Arbitrum.
- Have USDC on Arbitrum — this is the collateral asset used for trading on Hyperliquid.
- Your OKX Agentic Wallet handles the USDC deposit from Arbitrum into your Hyperliquid account automatically before your first trade. No manual bridging required.
- You do not need HYPE tokens or any native gas token to trade — all trading is gasless.
When to Use This Skill
- You want to trade perpetual futures with the speed and feel of a centralized exchange, but fully on-chain.
- You want to go long or short on crypto assets with leverage and don't want to pay gas on every order.
- You're looking for markets on newer or smaller tokens that aren't available on other perp platforms.
- You want to deposit into a vault and let a professional trader manage the strategy while you earn returns.
How It Works
You deposit USDC from Arbitrum into your Hyperliquid account. Once funded, you can place orders on any of the 100+ perpetual futures markets. The orderbook is fully on-chain but runs on Hyperliquid's own L1 blockchain, purpose-built for trading speed. Orders fill in under a second.
You pick a market, choose your leverage (up to 50x depending on the asset), and place your order — market, limit, stop-loss, or take-profit. There are no gas fees for placing or canceling orders. You only pay a trading fee when your order fills, and that fee decreases as your 30-day volume increases.
For passive strategies, you can deposit into Vaults run by other traders. Your USDC gets allocated to their trading strategy, and you share in the profits (or losses) proportionally. You can withdraw your funds from a vault at any time.
All positions, orders, and vault balances are visible on-chain through Hyperliquid's explorer, so you always have full transparency into what's happening with your funds.
