Follow these steps to connect your Hyperliquid account to Flicker for position tracking and portfolio insights.

How Hyperliquid Connection Works

Unlike centralized exchanges (Binance, Bybit, OKX), Hyperliquid is a decentralized exchange running on its own Layer 1 blockchain. This means:

  • No API keys required — your positions are publicly visible on-chain
  • Read-only by design — Flicker can only view your positions, never execute trades
  • Just your wallet address — that's all we need to sync your data

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Find Your Hyperliquid Wallet Address

Your Hyperliquid wallet address is the same Ethereum-compatible address you use to deposit funds.

If you don't know your address:

  • Go to Hyperliquid
  • Connect your wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.)
  • Click on your profile or wallet icon
  • Copy your wallet address (starts with 0x...)

2. Connect to Flicker

  1. Go to Flicker Portfolio
  2. Find and select Hyperliquid
  3. Paste your wallet address
  4. Click Connect

That's it. Your positions will sync automatically.

What Flicker Can See

Once connected, Flicker reads your public on-chain data:

  • ✅ Open perpetual positions
  • ✅ Position sizes and leverage
  • ✅ Entry prices
  • ✅ Unrealized P&L
  • ✅ Margin and liquidation prices

What Flicker Cannot Do

  • ❌ Execute trades
  • ❌ Modify positions
  • ❌ Access your private keys
  • ❌ Withdraw funds
  • ❌ See your trading history (only open positions)

Security Notes

  • Your wallet address is public information — anyone can view on-chain positions using a block explorer
  • No private keys or signatures required — Flicker never asks for wallet access
  • Read-only by design — decentralized exchanges don't have "API permissions" like CEXs

Troubleshooting

Positions not showing?

  • Make sure you entered the correct wallet address
  • Verify you have open positions on Hyperliquid
  • Wait a few seconds for the sync to complete

Wrong address?

  • Go to Portfolio
  • Disconnect the existing Hyperliquid account
  • Add it again with the correct address
