Custody and signing

The wallet is embedded, not custodial

Signing up creates an embedded wallet rather than an account on our books. You do not have to install a separate wallet app or manage a seed phrase to start, and the keys are not ours to spend. There is nothing to withdraw from Hypertradeworx, because Hypertradeworx never holds the balance.

What signs an order

Each order is authorised as its own signature over that specific action. Trading does not hand over a standing permission to move funds, and there is no mode in which the app trades an account without an authorisation for that trade.

Funding and exit

You can fund by card through the in-app onramp or by transferring from another chain, and cash out through the offramp. Both move value into and out of a wallet you control rather than into a platform account.

What this does not protect you from

Self-custody removes platform risk, not venue risk or market risk. A position opened on a venue is exposed to that venue and to liquidation, and losing access to your own device and recovery method is a real failure mode with any self-custodial wallet. Self-custody moves the trust, it does not delete it.

Questions

Does Hypertradeworx hold my funds?

No. The embedded wallet is self-custodial and there is no platform balance. Funds sit at addresses you control and orders are signed per action.

Do I need MetaMask or another wallet app?

No. A wallet is created for you on sign-up. You can still fund it from an external wallet or another chain if you prefer.

Can the platform trade my account without me?

No. Every order requires an authorisation for that order, including orders drafted by the AI agent, which prepares and stops.

What happens to my positions if the app goes away?

Positions live on the venue and collateral sits at addresses you control, so they are not contingent on our interface continuing to exist.
