Trading agents
A trading agent is a delegated key that signs your orders so you don’t have to confirm every action in your wallet. It’s what makes trading on Hypersight feel instant.
An agent can trade — never withdraw. A trading agent can place and cancel orders and adjust leverage. It cannot move funds out of your account. Your wallet stays in sole control of withdrawals.
Setting one up
The first time you place an order, Hypersight prompts you to approve an agent. You sign once with your wallet; this also approves the Hypersight builder fee up to a capped maximum (see Fees). After that, trading is pop-up-free.
Trading without an agent (no-agent mode)
Prefer to keep your wallet in the loop for every action? Turn on no-agent mode in Settings. Instead of delegating a key, your wallet signs each trading action directly — place order, cancel, adjust leverage — and no delegated key is ever created or stored, on any device.
It’s the most conservative setup: the trade-off is a wallet confirmation per action instead of pop-up-free trading. No-agent mode also works with wallets that manage their own network (it signs in place rather than forcing a chain switch).
No-agent mode covers your Hyperliquid trading (perps, spot, outcomes). It’s a per-account choice you can switch on or off at any time — turning it off walks you back through the one-time agent setup.
Multi-sig accounts
Hyperliquid lets you convert an account into a multi-sig account — one that requires signatures from several authorized signers (say, 2-of-3) before any action goes through. It’s a security setup for treasuries, teams, or anyone who wants no single key to be able to act alone.
Hypersight supports trading from a multi-sig account, with two requirements:
- You’re in no-agent mode. A delegated agent key can’t stand in for your signers — every action has to be authorized by the account’s real signers.
- Your wallet supports multi-sig authorization for Hyperliquid. A plain single-signature wallet can’t act on a multi-sig account, because Hyperliquid rejects anything that isn’t signed by the full required set.
When both are true, Hypersight detects that your connected account is multi-sig — straight from Hyperliquid, nothing to configure — and hands each action to your wallet, which gathers the required signatures and submits it. You approve in your wallet as usual; everything else (order routing, fees, your portfolio view) works exactly the same.
Most accounts are single-signature and need none of this. Multi-sig is an advanced, opt-in security feature you set up on your Hyperliquid account, not in Hypersight. If your wallet doesn’t support multi-sig authorization, Hypersight will tell you rather than fail silently.
Managing agents
Go to Settings → Trading agents. Hypersight shows every agent registered to your account, labeled by the device/browser that created it (e.g. “Chrome · Windows”), with its expiry countdown.
For each agent you can:
- Clear local — remove the agent key from this browser only. Other devices keep working.
- Revoke — tell Hyperliquid to refuse that agent everywhere, on all devices (a two-step confirmation).
Hypersight also flags orphaned keys — an agent key still in your browser that Hyperliquid no longer recognises — so you can clean it up.
Agents and account modes
Approving an agent is independent of your account mode (standard, unified, or portfolio margin). You can change account modes without re-approving your agent.
