Best Hyperliquid trading tools and AI agents, sorted by who makes the call

Hyperliquid has become the venue that trading tools build on first. The reason is a permission model: a Hyperliquid agent wallet can place and manage trades for your account but cannot withdraw from it. Almost every tool on this page uses that model or one like it, so "your funds stay in your wallet" no longer separates one product from another.

What does separate them is who makes the trading decision. Some tools stage a trade and wait for your signature. Some run a strategy you picked or built. Some run a strategy their team defined, and some pool your money with other depositors.

This page sorts seven options by that question, from the most control you keep to the least, using each product's own site and documentation as of September 2026. Several are young; check the current status before you connect a wallet.

Key takeaways​

  • Most tools here trade through keys that cannot withdraw. So compare what each tool decides on your behalf.
  • ReLiquid never trades on its own. You sign every order; its AI desks only argue the case.
  • LiquidEdge and Hypertrade run strategies for you from templates, their own strategies, or your own rules.
  • BasisYield and Deploy Finance run a defined strategy end to end, with different return sources and fee models.
  • Vaults and HLP pool your money. You gain a manager or a market-making book and give up an individual position.

1. ReLiquid: an AI committee that cannot trade without you​

ReLiquid is a research and execution workspace for Hyperliquid. You ask a question in plain language, and five AI desks respond: market, strategy, a contrarian that argues against the idea, execution, and risk, which holds a veto. You connect your own model (Claude, GPT, Gemini, or a local model) with your own API key.

The defining rule is on its homepage: ReLiquid never auto-trades, and a human confirms every order before it is placed. Its agent key is restricted at the protocol level and cannot withdraw, and private keys stay in your browser.

ReLiquid fits a discretionary trader who wants structured second opinions and a record of why each trade was taken. It does not fit someone who wants trading to happen while they sleep, because nothing executes without your signature.

2. LiquidEdge: templates, house strategies, or your own​

LiquidEdge is a non-custodial trading terminal that connects to Hyperliquid and several centralized exchanges. It offers three routes: deploy a verified template, run LiquidEdge's proprietary strategies with your own sizing, or build a strategy from scratch in its Strategy Studio and backtest it with modelled slippage and fees.

It connects through API keys with no withdrawal permission and says it does not require KYC. Pricing runs from a free tier to paid monthly plans. The site currently describes the product as in beta testing, with its app marked as coming soon, so treat it as early software.

LiquidEdge suits a trader who wants to automate a strategy and test it first. The decisions about which strategy, what size, and when to stop remain yours.

3. Hypertrade: automated strategies in one terminal​

Hypertrade is an AI trading terminal built on Hyperliquid that combines market intelligence, automated execution on defined rules, and position management in one place. You connect a wallet, grant trading permission, and choose from its published strategies.

The permission model is spelled out on the homepage: your owner wallet keeps withdrawal control, and the agent wallet can place and manage trades and view balances but cannot withdraw. Hypertrade states there is no monthly membership.

Hypertrade suits a trader who wants a menu of automated strategies to switch between, and who will monitor which one is running.

4. BasisYield: a funding-rate router​

BasisYield runs one job: collect funding on Hyperliquid without taking a price bet. Every six hours it ranks the markets it can hedge, shorts the perpetual, and holds the same dollar amount of the real asset as spot, so the price move cancels and the funding payment remains. It also runs a weekend trade, and a circuit breaker skips weekend trades and halves position sizes when Bitcoin moves 5% or more in a day or when prediction markets signal a geopolitical crisis.

Custody works through a trade-only agent key that the exchange prevents from withdrawing or transferring funds, revocable in one click. Its only revenue is a capped builder fee on each trade: no management fee and no performance fee. The site runs a live dashboard, labels its projected and historical figures separately, and warns that returns are not guaranteed and that Hyperliquid carries platform risk.

BasisYield is the closest product on this list to Deploy Finance's funding agent. The differences are in the section below.

5. Deploy Finance: defined agents, two mandates​

Deploy Finance runs curated autonomous agents on Hyperliquid. You fund a self-custodial wallet with USDC, choose an agent and an allocation, and approve a scoped session key that can trade but cannot transfer or withdraw. The agent then manages entries, exits, and risk without ongoing configuration from you.

  • Income: Funding Rates holds long spot against a short perpetual on the same asset and collects funding.
  • Superstar trades directionally across Hyperliquid spot, perpetuals, and HIP-3 markets, with a loss boundary on each position.

Deploy charges no subscription, no management fee, and no profit share; you pay gas and exchange trade fees, per the fees page.

Against BasisYield, the funding trade is similar and so is the key model. Deploy adds a directional agent; BasisYield publishes a live dashboard and its engine's rules in more detail. Neither is a guaranteed return.

6. Hyperliquid user vaults: pick a leader​

A user vault is one trader's strategy with depositors attached. You deposit, the leader trades, and you share the result after a 10% profit share. The leader must hold at least 5% of the vault, and deposits lock for one day, per Hyperliquid's vault documentation.

Unlike every tool above, a vault takes your deposit. Your outcome is the pooled book, and another depositor's withdrawal can force positions closed. In exchange, you can read the vault's positions and history before you join. The best Hyperliquid vaults page covers how.

7. HLP: the exchange's own market-making vault​

HLP is Hyperliquid's protocol vault. According to its documentation, it market-makes, backstops liquidations, supplies USDC to Earn, and receives a share of trading fees. No leader takes a profit share, and deposits lock for four days from your latest deposit.

HLP is the least hands-on option here and the least individual. You take the other side of every trader on the venue, which pays when they are wrong and costs when they are right. The Deploy Finance vs Hyperliquid HLP page covers that exposure.

How to choose​

  1. Decide how much of the call you want to keep. Every trade signed by you: ReLiquid. A strategy you build or pick: LiquidEdge or Hypertrade. A defined strategy run for you: BasisYield or Deploy. A manager or the protocol: vaults or HLP.
  2. Check the key's permissions yourself. Approve only trade permissions, and confirm withdrawal stays with your owner wallet.
  3. Match the fee to the job. A builder fee per trade, a subscription, and a profit share each cost you differently in quiet and busy markets.
  4. Check the product's age. Some tools here are in beta or recently launched. A short record covers one market regime.
  5. Remember the venue. Every option on this page depends on Hyperliquid. A trade-only key limits what the tool can do; it does nothing about exchange risk.

Verdict​

On Hyperliquid, the key model has converged, so choose by who decides. ReLiquid keeps every decision with you. LiquidEdge and Hypertrade automate a strategy you choose. BasisYield and Deploy Finance run a defined strategy for you, with Deploy offering both a funding agent and a directional one. Vaults and HLP trade your deposit alongside everyone else's.
