Manual Connection

To add a Hyperliquid account manually on Velo, navigate to the API page on Hyperliquid. You will create an API wallet on Hyperliquid which will then be used to trade on Velo.

An API wallet will never have access to the main wallet funds and will only have access to trading actions on Hyperliquid.

1

Create an API wallet on Hyperliquid

  • Enter a name for the API wallet (e.g. velo.xyz)

  • Generate a new wallet

  • Press the button "Authorize API Wallet" which will open up a popup

2

In the authorization popup

  • Enter any preferred expiration date on the API wallet (max 180 days)

  • Save the API wallet private key

  • Authorize the API wallet (this should prompt e.g. MetaMask for a signature to approve the API wallet)

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

Then:

  • Accept the terms

  • Press "Connect"
