What you get

​

The non-custodial flow

1. Read — markets, positions, and balances tools return data directly.
2. Account — Earn, Credit, and Tokenized Equities act through a per-owner product account: call that product’s *_create_account tool first. It is idempotent and returns transaction: null if the account already exists.
3. Build — action tools return an unsigned transaction {to, data, value, ...}.
4. Sign & broadcast — with your own key, for example with Foundry’s cast:
   cast send <to> <data> --value <value> --rpc-url $RPC_URL --account my-keystore
   

• Global Markets perps (Hyperliquid): build the order with v2_global_markets_perps_market_order (or limit_order, withdraw, …) → sign the returned typed data → submit via v2_global_markets_perps_execute. Fund first with v2_global_markets_perps_deposit; perps need no product account.
• Tokenized Equities: v2_tokenized_equities_order → sign → v2_tokenized_equities_order_submit.
• Gas sponsorship: call an action with gas_sponsorship: true → sign the returned EIP-712 → submit signature and typed data to v2_gas_sponsorship_prepare → a sponsor broadcasts, and the owner pays no gas. See Gas Sponsorship.

Good to know

• Amounts are decimal token units ("1.5" means 1.5 USDC), never wei. "ALL" is not supported — pass an explicit amount.
• Tokens go by symbol (USDC, WETH) or 0x address; pass the address when a symbol isn’t recognized.
• Chains vary by product: Earn and Credit cover Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, HyperEVM, and Tempo; CCTP bridges Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base; Tokenized Equities settle on Ethereum; perps run on Hyperliquid.
• The server is stateless: every request is self-contained — no sessions to manage, and a 5xx is safe to retry once.
• Errors: 4xx bodies are actionable (for example Unknown token symbol) — surface them as-is. A 401 means the X-API-Key header is missing or invalid.
