Hyperider
non-custodial · you keep your keys

It's a car. You just drive it.

Hyperider turns real perpetual-DEX trading into driving. Steer to go long, brake to go flat — every lane you hold is a tiny, capped, auto-closed real trade, placed for you across seven venues. Under the hood it's a perp DEX. On the surface, it's the simplest drive of your life.

the idea

Driving is the strategy

No charts to read, no order tickets to fill. You drive a car down a road — and the road is a live market. Hold a lane and the game opens a small real position for you; go flat and it closes. The skill of driving well is the trading. Beginners (yes, even kids in practice mode) can play; there's no perp experience required.

safety

You can't blow up

Manual perp trading punishes one bad moment with liquidation. Hyperider removes that: every trade is tiny, capped, and auto-closed at the end of a maneuver. There is no runaway position to liquidate your account. Stop-loss and take-profit are built into how the car drives, not left to nerve.

Not ready to risk anything? Ride without trading. Free practice needs no wallet and places no real orders — learn the road first, go live when it clicks.

custody & trust

You keep your funds. Always.

Hyperider is non-custodial. We never hold your money — and technically we can't. Your balance lives in your own account on each perp DEX. You connect with Privy and approve a trade-only key: it can place small orders on your behalf, and it cannot withdraw, transfer, or move your funds. No seed phrase is shared.

Think of it like handing a valet a key that only starts the car and can never open the trunk. If you ever want out, you stop driving and your funds are already where they always were — with you.

what you need

Your DEX accounts, funded by you

You'll hold a balance on the venues you want to drive: Hyperliquid, Hotstuff, Lighter, Perpl, Extended, and Ondo. You fund those yourself; Hyperider drives on top. Every trade you make there also farms that venue's own points and airdrop — so one ride can farm several programs at once.

fees

As low as we can get them — and getting lower

We don't show you scary top-line fees. We show the floor: as low as $0 per $1M of volume on zero-fee venues like Lighter, and single-digit-to-low dollars per $1M on maker-first venues.

The road is a live chart, and we study the tape — spreads, funding, book depth, maker vs taker — to route every drive down the cheapest path we've found. Those numbers are today's floor; a big part of the work is pushing them lower and fixing the limitations people hit in ordinary perp trading.

rewards

One ride, many airdrops

Each venue rewards volume with its own points / airdrop (Hotstuff, Lighter, Perpl's boosted markets, Extended builder programs, Ondo Points, and more). On top of that, Hyperider has its own leaderboard, referral boosts for friends you bring, and Hyperider points for how you ride. The organic, human kind of volume DEXes actually want to reward.

how you drive

Four ways to ride

🚲 Cruisecheapest

Maker-first, the cheapest path. Hold your lanes and let fills come to you.

🔥 Turbofastest

Cross now, guaranteed fills — the fastest volume per minute for milestone runs.

🛋 PassengerAFK

Hands-free. The car stays neutral and a grid farms volume while you work.

🚚 Convoylive

Ride together: everyone earns +10% points per live convoy-mate, up to +50%. Create or join in the rider hub.

the lab

The roads are live charts. We study them.

Hyperider isn't only a game — it's a research layer. The terrain you drive is built from real market data: the hills, hazards, and green lanes map to what's actually happening in the book. We study that tape to surface signals and to route trades down the lowest-cost, best-expectancy path, so all you have to do is drive right.

We publish what we learn as we go — the physics of the drive, the economics of the trade — without giving away the modalities that make it work. Evolving in the open, one study at a time. Read the field notes →

origins → where it's headed

Born from a $4,000 lesson

Hyperider started after losing $4,000 overnight in a perp position with nothing to show for it — no volume, no points, no upside, just the liquidation. The idea: what if the risky part were capped and abstracted into play, and the leftover — real organic volume — went toward the airdrops DEXes reward?

Today: seven venues live, free practice, passenger mode, a leaderboard, referrals. Ahead: convoy mode, deeper signals, more venues, and a widening research library — building toward the standard for how normal people touch perps safely.

questions, answered
Is it safe? Can I get liquidated?+

Every ride's trades are tiny, capped, and auto-closed, so you can't be liquidated out of your account the way manual perp trading can wipe you. And you can ride in free practice mode with no wallet at all — learn the road before a single real trade.

Do you take custody of my money?+

No. Hyperider is non-custodial. Your funds stay in your own accounts on each perp DEX. You connect with Privy and approve a trade-only key that can place small orders but can never withdraw or move funds. We never hold your assets, and we can't.

What is Privy and what am I signing?+

Privy is the sign-in layer. You connect your existing wallet and approve a one-time, trade-only signature per venue — no seed phrase is ever shared, and the key cannot withdraw. It's the same 'agent key' pattern serious perp terminals use.

Can I try it without trading real money?+

Yes — tap 'watch a lap' for free practice: no wallet, no risk, no real trades. Go live only when you're ready.

Do I need accounts on the perp DEXes?+

Yes. You fund and hold your balance yourself on each venue (Hyperliquid, Hotstuff, Lighter, Perpl, Extended, Ondo). Hyperider drives on top of your accounts. Every trade also farms that venue's own points/airdrop.

How much are the fees?+

As low as $0 per $1M of volume on zero-fee venues like Lighter, and single-digit-to-low dollars per $1M on maker-first venues. We study live conditions and route each drive down the cheapest path we've found — and keep pushing lower.
