We’re rolling out Gunbot support for Hyperliquid, covering both spot and perpetual swap (derivatives) trading. This is a practical step for us and for the many traders in our community who are looking to automate strategies on decentralized platforms, without giving up control of their funds or switching tools.
This is a new integration. Some things may not work perfectly yet. We're actively tracking issues and improving stability as we go.
Why Hyperliquid?
When we evaluate new integrations, we look for technical reliability, a good trading experience, and real utility for Gunbot users. Hyperliquid checked those boxes. It’s a decentralized exchange with fast execution, low fees, and enough liquidity to make automation viable for both spot and perps markets.
This isn’t about chasing trends. We’re integrating Hyperliquid because it works well with the way Gunbot operates, and it opens up more flexibility for traders who want to explore DeFi markets without compromising on the speed or efficiency they’re used to.
What You Can Do with Gunbot on Hyperliquid
Gunbot’s integration with Hyperliquid covers both market types: spot and perpetual swaps. That means you can automate trades across a wider range of strategies, all while keeping your assets in your own wallet.
Spot Trading
You can use Gunbot to automate spot trading directly on Hyperliquid. Whether you're running grid bots, dollar-cost averaging (DCA), or basic market making, it works just like it does on centralized exchanges, except now, you're doing it directly from your wallet, in a fully decentralized environment.
Perpetual Swap (Derivatives) Trading
We’ve also added full support for Hyperliquid’s perps markets. If you use leverage, hedge positions, or run volatility-based strategies, you can now automate all of that on-chain. This includes long/short setups, trailing stop strategies, or more advanced logic using Gunbot’s customizable strategy engine.
These tools can help traders manage risk and maintain consistency, especially in markets where conditions change quickly and manual trading becomes a bottleneck.
How to Set It Up
Setting up Gunbot for Hyperliquid is straightforward. There’s no deposit step, Gunbot interacts with Hyperliquid directly. This means your funds never leave your control, which is one of the core advantages of DeFi trading.
As always, Gunbot runs locally or on your own server, just like it does for any other exchange. Your data stays with you, and the bot trades according to your strategy parameters.
Why It Matters
We’re seeing more and more traders move at least part of their activity into DeFi, looking for transparency, better security models, or just different market opportunities. By adding support for Hyperliquid, we’re making sure Gunbot users have the option to automate trades in this environment without switching tools or giving up functionality.
This isn’t a replacement for centralized exchanges, but an expansion. Gunbot continues to support a broad range of CEXs, and now also offers native support for trading on Hyperliquid.
If you’ve been thinking about experimenting with decentralized trading but didn’t want to manage everything manually, this makes it easier to start. You can apply the same strategies you already use, test new ones, or adapt to different market conditions, all without giving up control of your assets.
