The key that places your orders cannot move your money
A Hyperliquid agent wallet is a second key your account approves to sign trading actions. The protocol lets it open, close and read positions, and refuses to let it take funds out. StratiDex trades with a key of this kind; withdrawals travel a separate path, through StratiDex servers, and that path is the real trust point.

What an agent wallet is on Hyperliquid
Hyperliquid lets an account approve a second key, called an agent or API wallet. The approval is recorded by the protocol itself. From that moment the key can sign trading actions for your account, and it never holds your collateral.
Your USDC stays under the account that owns it. The agent key is a signer, not an owner: no balance of its own, no claim on yours. StratiDex trades 305 markets on that account as of 7 September 2026 — 177 native Hyperliquid markets and 128 HIP-3 markets deployed by third-party dexes.
- Signs trading actions: opening and closing positions.
- Reads balance, positions, fills and margin.
- Cannot take funds out. Hyperliquid refuses a withdrawal signed by an agent key, and moving money elsewhere is not among its rights.
What the trading key cannot do, and what it still can
The restriction is enforced by Hyperliquid, at the protocol level, for any account on the venue. It does not depend on StratiDex code being correct, on our servers staying up, or on our team being honest. That is what makes it something you can lean on.
The damage from a leaked agent key is therefore bounded, not zero. Someone holding it could trade your account into a loss on purpose, at leverage, for as long as the approval stands. That costs real money, through liquidation. It still cannot send a single dollar to an address they control.
Two threats, two different answers. Bad trades: capped by the margin you put up, and nothing more than that. Funds leaving the account through the trading key: ruled out by the protocol.
Who can do what
Four columns touch your account. Here is the exact split of powers, including the lines that suit us least.
| Action | You (account owner) | Agent key | StratiDex | Hyperliquid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open or close a position | Yes | Yes | Yes, through the agent key | Executes and matches |
| Read balance, positions, fills | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Choose leverage, within the market cap | Yes, in the bot | — | Applies your choice, never above the cap | Sets the cap (40× BTC, 20× NVDA) |
| Trade without a confirmation on each order | You decide | Only under auto-copy | Only through the auto-copy you turned on; every action notified, stoppable in one tap | Not involved |
| Withdraw USDC to Arbitrum | Yes | No, the protocol refuses it | Yes, the request runs on our servers | Settles it, charges $1 |
| Transfer to another Hyperliquid account | Yes | No | Yes, same server path | Free |
| Export the account private key | Yes, at any time | No | Not on your behalf; the wallet is held under a Privy policy | Not involved |
Read the withdrawal and transfer rows first. Everything above them is trading, and the protocol settles it. Those two are custody, and that is where the honest question sits.
Where the trust actually sits at StratiDex
Your account is created inside the Telegram conversation, in your name, on Hyperliquid. The wallet is a Privy wallet, locked by a provider policy: it signs what the policy allows and nothing else. No identity document is requested. Hyperliquid's restricted jurisdictions still apply, and checking that perpetuals are legal where you live is your call.
Withdrawals do not travel through the agent key, because they cannot. They go through StratiDex servers, which trigger the payout from the wallet under that policy. When you withdraw with us, you are trusting our infrastructure and our operators at that moment.
So we will not claim that StratiDex cannot touch your funds. It is written here and on /security, in the same words, because a withdrawal path that runs on our servers is a trust point and stating it plainly is the only version that survives being checked.
Key export, and what it changes
The private key of your account can be exported from the bot at any time. That is the counterweight to the paragraph above, and the reason to do it before you need it.
- Ask for the export in the Telegram conversation.
- Store the key offline. Whoever reads it controls the account, withdrawals included.
- Import it into a wallet that handles a Hyperliquid account.
- Trade or withdraw directly on Hyperliquid, with us or without us.
Export changes the shape of the risk rather than removing it. Before, getting out depends on our servers answering. After, it does not: the account is portable and you move the funds yourself. Export switches nothing off on its own — the agent key keeps trading and the bot still reaches the wallet.
It also hands you the failure mode. A key sitting in a screenshot, a cloud note or a chat backup is a key someone else will eventually read.
What it costs, and what none of this protects you from
Fees are what people check right after security. Here they are in full, as verified on 7 September 2026; the confirmation screen shows the same total before you validate.
| Item | Native market | HIP-3 market at 100 % | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| StratiDex commission | 9 bp | 9 bp | 8.1 bp for life via a referral link, next to 4.5 bp of Hyperliquid taker fee |
| Exchange taker fee | 4.5 bp | 9 bp | 0.15 bp maker on native markets |
| Entry cost, total | 9 bp + 4.5 bp | 9 bp + 9 bp | Spread on top; closing costs the same again, since we are paid per executed order |
| HIP-3 deployer share | — | 100 % on 127 of the 128 markets | One market (para) is at 50 %, so 6.75 bp of venue fee |
| Withdrawal to Arbitrum | $1 | $1 | Charged by Hyperliquid; internal transfers are free |
| Subscription or profit share | None | None | We are paid per executed order, nothing else |
None of the above is protection against the market. StratiDex has no stop-loss, no take-profit and no automatic close. A price alert is a message, not an order.
Leveraged perpetuals liquidate, and a liquidation takes the margin you committed. The confirmation screen prints the exact liquidation price and the cost before you validate — that line matters more than the leverage number. StratiDex starts at 2× by default. Deposits are USDC on Arbitrum One only, credited from 5 USDC, minimum order $11; $20 to $50 is enough to see how the whole thing behaves while the stakes are small.
FAQ
Can a Hyperliquid agent wallet withdraw my funds?
No. Hyperliquid refuses a withdrawal signed by an agent key, for any account on the venue. The key opens, closes and reads, and that is the whole list. A stolen agent key can trade you into a liquidation, which costs real money, but it cannot send your USDC anywhere.
Can StratiDex take my money?
Withdrawals run through StratiDex servers, so the honest answer is that you trust our infrastructure at the moment you withdraw. We publish that on /security rather than claiming otherwise. The counterweight is export: your private key is available at any time, and an exported account works without us. A withdrawal costs $1, charged by Hyperliquid, and nothing to us.
How do I export my private key from StratiDex?
Ask for the export in the Telegram conversation. The account was created in your name on Hyperliquid through a Privy wallet, and the key is exportable at any time. Store it offline, because whoever holds it can withdraw. Export switches nothing off: the agent key keeps trading and the bot still reaches the wallet.
What happens to my positions if StratiDex goes offline?
They stay open on Hyperliquid, with the same liquidation price. An outage does not close a position and does not add margin for you. With an exported key you act on Hyperliquid directly; without one you wait — which is the whole argument for exporting the key before you need it.
Is an agent wallet the same as giving a bot my seed phrase?
No. A seed phrase hands over full control, withdrawals included. An agent key carries trading rights only, and Hyperliquid enforces that difference at the protocol level. A stolen agent key can trade your account until it liquidates, and still cannot withdraw one dollar.
Do I need to send documents to use StratiDex?
No identity document is requested to open the account in the bot. Hyperliquid's restricted jurisdictions still apply, and verifying that derivatives trading is legal where you are is on you. The rest of the setup is short: USDC on Arbitrum One, credited from 5 USDC, minimum order $11.
