Add the API wallet to Velo

After the API wallet has been authorized, you'll need two values to enter into Velo:

  • The master account address (NOTE: not the API wallet address — this is the master account address found at the top-right of the Hyperliquid UI) CleanShot 2025-07-23 at 19 41 43@2x

  • The API wallet private key that was previously saved
