Agent wallets
DXAP uses Hyperliquid agent wallets for trading authorization. Your balance remains in your Hyperliquid account; DXAP does not hold that balance.
Account versus key
Section titled “Account versus key”| Item | Role |
|---|---|
| Your connected wallet | Signs you in and approves account actions. |
| Hyperliquid account | Holds the balance, positions, and orders being traded. |
| Agent wallet / API wallet | A separate key approved to sign trading actions for the account. |
| DXAP API key | An application credential for scoped DXAP API access; a different kind of key. |
The agent wallet can place and cancel orders. It does not give DXAP withdrawal authority. Trading permission still carries risk: an authorized agent can place trades that lose funds.
Hyperliquid also calls agent wallets API wallets. When checking balances or positions, use the actual account address. The signing key’s address is not the account holding those funds. See Hyperliquid’s API wallet documentation.
Remove authority
Section titled “Remove authority”Revoke the approved key in Hyperliquid API settings. Pausing inside DXAP is a separate control. Neither action closes existing positions or cancels resting orders; see Pause and revoke access.
