Connecting Your BitGo Wallet to Hyperliquid

Connecting Your BitGo Wallet to Hyperliquid

First-Time Connection

Step 1: On Hyperliquid, select “Connect” in the top right.

Step 5: BitGo shows a connection request. Review the permissions listed, which allow Hyperliquid to view your balances and activity and send approval requests, but never to move funds without your permission, then select “Approve.”

Note: Approving a WalletConnect connection does not give Hyperliquid the ability to move funds on its own. Every transfer still requires a separate signature on BitGo, described in Section 2.

Step 6: Sign to accept Hyperliquid’s Terms of Use. BitGo prompts you with a signing request. Enter your wallet password, or authenticate with your passkey, and select “Sign.”

Signing to accept Hyperliquid’s Terms of Use.

Step 7: Sign to enable gas-free trading. BitGo prompts you with a second signing request, using the same modal as the previous step. This signature opens a channel that lets Hyperliquid execute your trades without asking you to sign, and pay gas, for every order.

Signing to enable gas-free, instantaneous trading on Hyperliquid.

Note: This signature is what unlocks gas-free, instantaneous trading. After this step, you do not need to sign again to place, modify, or close trades. You only sign again to move funds to or from Hyperliquid.

Step 8: Once both signatures are complete, BitGo confirms the connection.

You will not be asked to accept the Terms of Use or enable gas-free trading again.
