How agent wallets work
1
Connect or create a wallet
In the Terminal Wallet setup, connect an existing wallet or create a new non-custodial wallet secured by Turnkey. See Onboarding and Deposits.
2
Approve the agent
Hyperdash generates a fresh keypair in your browser, and your wallet signs an approval registering it as your trading agent. The agent key is valid for 180 days and is encrypted in your browser before it is stored.
3
Approve the builder
A second signature enables trading on Hyperdash. From then on, every order you place, including automated order types, is signed by the agent key.
Security FAQ
What can an agent wallet do, and what can it not do?
What can an agent wallet do, and what can it not do?
The agent key signs trading actions only: placing, modifying, and cancelling orders. Withdrawals and asset transfers are signed by your own wallet, never by the agent.
Who holds my keys?
Who holds my keys?
Your wallet’s private key never leaves your wallet; you approve the agent and sign withdrawals yourself. Wallets created through Hyperdash are non-custodial and secured by Turnkey. The agent key is generated in your browser and encrypted there before storage, which is what powers features like Copytrading.
How do I refresh or revoke an agent?
How do I refresh or revoke an agent?
Open the Agent Manager and use Refresh Agent Key: a brand-new key replaces the old one. You must have the original wallet connected; the app blocks refreshes from a different address. Re-running wallet setup also deregisters previous Hyperdash agents before approving a new one.
What happens when my agent expires?
What happens when my agent expires?
Agent keys are valid for 180 days. An expired key can no longer sign orders, so refresh it from the Agent Manager to keep trading.

Google, Apple, email magic link, or wallet sign-in. Wallet sign-in only asks you to sign a message: it is free and sends no transaction.
How do I set up two-factor protection?
How do I set up two-factor protection?
In Settings under Security, enable either a passkey (biometrics or a security key) or an authenticator app. Authenticator setup shows a QR code or setup key, verifies a 6-digit code, then issues one-time backup codes you can download. Passkeys must be removed before enabling an authenticator app.
When am I asked for two-factor verification?
When am I asked for two-factor verification?
After sign-in, with an option to trust the device for 30 days, and again before withdrawing funds. If you lose your 2FA device, a backup recovery code works once each.
Save your backup recovery codes when you enable an authenticator app. If you lose your 2FA device and have no codes, you can permanently lose access to your account.
