HyperLiquid is a decentralized exchange for trading perpetual contracts. It runs on its own HyperEVM blockchain; deposits and withdrawals go through the Arbitrum One network. Email registration is not required — access is through a Web3 wallet.

**What you will need:**

* Smartphone (Android/iOS) or browser extension
* Web3 wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, Trust Wallet, or any other with WalletConnect support)
* \~$30 to get started: $5–10 ETH for gas fees + USDC for trading

This guide uses **MetaMask** as an example. The process for other wallets is similar — only the app interface will differ.

***

### 1. MetaMask Installation and Setup

#### Installing the Application

Download MetaMask from the official store:

* **Android:** [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.metamask)
* **iOS:** [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/metamask-blockchain-wallet/id1438144202)

#### Creating a Wallet

1. Open the MetaMask application
2. Create a wallet following the in-app instructions
3. Set a strong password

We recommend the **Recovery Phrase** (seed phrase) method.

⚠️ Write your seed phrase down on paper and store it in a secure place. Without it, you cannot restore access to your wallet.

#### Configuring Arbitrum One Network

1. Open MetaMask
2. Tap the network menu at the top of the screen
3. Select **Arbitrum One**
4. Enable display of the **USDC** token

#### Saving Your Wallet Address

1. On the MetaMask main screen, tap your wallet address
2. Copy the **Arbitrum** address
3. Save it — you will need it for deposits and connection

#### Funding the Wallet

Transfer to your wallet address:

* **ETH:** \~$10–20 for transaction fees (gas)
* **USDC:** the amount you plan to trade with

⚠️ When transferring, always select the **Arbitrum One** network.

After sending, check that the funds have arrived in the MetaMask application.
