# How to Connect Hyperliquid to Flicker

Step-by-step guide to connecting your Hyperliquid account to Flicker for position tracking and portfolio insights.

Follow these steps to connect your Hyperliquid account to Flicker for position tracking and portfolio insights.

## How Hyperliquid Connection Works

Unlike centralized exchanges (Binance, Bybit, OKX), Hyperliquid is a **decentralized exchange** running on its own Layer 1 blockchain. This means:

- **No API keys required** — your positions are publicly visible on-chain
- **Read-only by design** — Flicker can only view your positions, never execute trades
- **Just your wallet address** — that's all we need to sync your data

## Step-by-Step Instructions

### 1. Find Your Hyperliquid Wallet Address

Your Hyperliquid wallet address is the same Ethereum-compatible address you use to deposit funds.

**If you don't know your address:**
- Go to [Hyperliquid](https://app.hyperliquid.xyz/)
- Connect your wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.)
- Click on your profile or wallet icon
- Copy your wallet address (starts with `0x...`)

### 2. Connect to Flicker

1. Go to [Flicker Connections](https://flicker.finance/connections/new)
2. Find and select **Hyperliquid**
3. Paste your wallet address
4. Click **Connect**

That's it. Your positions will sync automatically.

## What Flicker Can See

Once connected, Flicker reads your public on-chain data:

- ✅ Open perpetual positions
- ✅ Position sizes and leverage
- ✅ Entry prices
- ✅ Unrealized P&L
- ✅ Margin and liquidation prices

## What Flicker Cannot Do

- ❌ Execute trades
- ❌ Modify positions
- ❌ Access your private keys
- ❌ Withdraw funds
- ❌ See your trading history (only open positions)

## Security Notes

- **Your wallet address is public information** — anyone can view on-chain positions using a block explorer
- **No private keys or signatures required** — Flicker never asks for wallet access
- **Read-only by design** — decentralized exchanges don't have "API permissions" like CEXs

## Troubleshooting

**Positions not showing?**
- Make sure you entered the correct wallet address
- Verify you have open positions on Hyperliquid
- Wait a few seconds for the sync to complete

**Wrong address?**
- Go to [Connections](https://flicker.finance/connections)
- Delete the existing Hyperliquid connection
- Add it again with the correct address
