A simple way to register on Hyperliquid

By GT Protocol Team · Updated June 10, 2026

To authorize yourself on Hyperliquid, you need to connect your Web3 wallet.

For the easiest setup, we recommend using the MetaMask browser extension. Alternatively, MetaMask must be installed on your phone.

1) Open Hyperliquid using a referral link and receive a discount on commissions.

Click Enable Trading. MetaMask will prompt you to sign a gasless transaction to authorize trading on Hyperliquid.

5) Creating an API

Before you can generate an API Private Key, you must fund your Hyperliquid account.

Important:

  • Hyperliquid requires a minimum deposit of 5 USDC on the Arbitrum network before you can generate a Private Key.
  • You may also need a small amount of ETH on Arbitrum for gas fees.

If you don’t yet have USDC on Arbitrum, you can swap tokens directly inside your wallet (for example using the MetaMask built-in Swap feature) and convert your assets to USDC on the Arbitrum network, then deposit them to Hyperliquid.

After making a deposit, you can view your HyperLiquid balance in the Portfolio tab.

In this tab, you can also manage transfers between your spot and futures accounts.

Please keep in mind that it is not necessary to use Metamask specifically.

You can use any wallet you are familiar with that is compatible with Hyperliquid.

The next step is creating Private Keys and linking your account to the GT App.

(Optional) Adding the Hyperliquid EVM network to MetaMask

1. A simple way to register on Hyperliquid

This step is optional and needed only if you want to interact directly with the Hyperliquid EVM network (for example, for on-chain features, HYPE token, etc.), not just trade via the web interface.

Open MetaMask network settings and click on the network dropdown at the top of MetaMask. Click Add network → Add a network manually.

Fill in the Hyperliquid EVM network details.

Network name: Hyperliquid EVM

RPC URL: https://rpc.hyperliquid.xyz/evm

Chain ID: 999

Currency symbol: HYPE

Block explorer (optional): https://hyperevmscan.io

Save and switch to the network

MetaMask will offer to switch to the new network - you can confirm if you plan to use Hyperliquid EVM right away.
