Execution
Agents execute on decentralized perpetual markets. Hyperliquid is the primary exchange for Income: Funding Rates and Superstar, chosen for non-custodial settlement and sub-second finality.
Chains
| Chain | Role |
|---|---|
| Hyperliquid | Primary decentralizer exchange for both agents |
| Arbitrum | The chain where you deposit USDC from an external wallet to arrive on Deploy Finance |
More chains may be added as new strategies launch.
Assets
USDC is the funding and settlement currency for both agents, and the only stablecoin used in Income: Funding Rates and Superstar.
Large-cap assets (BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE) anchor funding capture, selected for deep liquidity and sustained periods of positive funding. Superstar trades directionally across a wider set: spot, perpetuals, and HIP-3 markets, plus outcome markets when there is a clear winner.
Cross-chain deposits
When you deposit from a chain other than the one a strategy runs on, Deploy Finance bridges your assets to the target chain. In practice that usually means USDC arriving on Arbitrum and bridging to Hyperliquid.
Whitelisted protocols
Agent wallets whitelist the protocols an agent may touch: Hyperliquid.
An agent cannot send assets to another wallet and cannot interact with a protocol outside that list.
Additional non-DEX protocols may be enabled later, with an announcement beforehand.
Timing
After depositing your stablecoins, an agent may take a few hours before deploying capital to the strategy. This allows for the agent to enter only during the best market conditions where liquidity is deep and slippage is avoided.
