Getting Started with Hyperliquid

Trading on Hyperliquid through Auto requires USDC and a single chat command. Auto handles chain routing, bridging, and deposits automatically.

Step 1: Check Your USDC Balance

USDC is the base currency for all Hyperliquid trading. Auto supports USDC on any chain — Arbitrum, Base, Ethereum, Solana, Optimism, and Polygon.

"Show my USDC balance on all chains"

Step 2: Deposit USDC to Your Hyperliquid Account

Auto finds your USDC across all chains and routes it to Hyperliquid through the cheapest available path. You specify the amount; Auto handles bridging and deposit mechanics.

"Deposit $100 to Hyperliquid"

What Auto does behind the scenes:

1. Locates your USDC across all connected chains

2. Bridges to Arbitrum if needed (Hyperliquid deposits route through Arbitrum)

3. Deposits into your Hyperliquid trading account

Step 3: Place Your First Trade

Once funded, trade by stating the asset, direction, and size. Auto executes on Hyperliquid immediately.

"Long BTC with $50"

"Short ETH 3x leverage"

"What's the funding rate on SOL?"
