Account Types

An explanation of different accounts that are part of your Hyperliquid balance.

Account Types

After your wallet is connected, the app will display multiple account balances within your wallet. These represent how funds are allocated for different purposes on Hyperliquid:

  • Perps: This is the margin account for trading Hyperliquid-native crypto perpetuals.

  • Equities [XYZ]: This is the margin account for trading XYZ equity perps. It is a separate account from your Hyperliquid perps account and does not share balances.

  • Spot: This is the default account for spot crypto assets. Assets here cannot be used as collateral for either perps account.

You can instantly transfer funds between these accounts within the app at no cost. For example, if you deposit USDC and it appears in Spot, you can transfer some to your Crypto Perps account using the “Transfer” button.
