Summary

This guide explains how to access Hyperliquid through an email login or a connected wallet, enable trading, and fund an account. It describes depositing USDC or supported assets from several networks, notes that some deposits require a source-chain gas token, and outlines withdrawal steps. Supported assets and routes vary by network, and users may need to convert a deposited asset into the quote currency used for a market.

For perpetual contracts, the guide distinguishes using USDC collateral to take a long or short position from buying the token directly in spot markets. It presents a basic order flow: select a token, choose direction, set position size, and submit the order. Position size is described in relation to leverage and collateral, but the page offers no strategy, risk model, fee comparison, or performance evidence. It is operational documentation, so network availability and platform procedures may change over time.

Key ideas

  • Hyperliquid access can use an email login or a connected EVM-compatible wallet.
  • Trading requires depositing supported collateral or another supported asset through an available network.
  • Some deposit routes require native gas tokens, while the guide describes trading itself as gas-free.
  • Perpetual positions use collateral to take long or short exposure without directly buying the token.
  • The guide explains basic funding and order placement but does not assess strategy performance or trading risk.
