Question 1

How long does a Hyperliquid deposit take?

Accepted Answer

Deposits from Arbitrum to Hyperliquid typically take 1-2 minutes. During periods of network congestion, they can take up to 15 minutes. If your deposit has not arrived after 30 minutes, check the transaction status on arbiscan.io and verify you sent USDC on the Arbitrum network.

Question 2

Why is my USDC deposit not showing on Hyperliquid?

Accepted Answer

The most common causes are: sending on the wrong network (Ethereum mainnet instead of Arbitrum), sending the wrong token (USDT instead of USDC), the bridge still processing during congestion, or a browser cache issue. Check your transaction on arbiscan.io first to confirm it was sent correctly.

Question 3

Can I deposit USDT or ETH to Hyperliquid?

Accepted Answer

No. Hyperliquid only accepts USDC as the deposit currency for perpetual futures trading. If you sent USDT, ETH, or another token, it will not appear in your Hyperliquid balance. You need to swap your tokens to USDC on Arbitrum using a DEX like Uniswap, then deposit the USDC.

Question 4

I sent USDC on Ethereum mainnet instead of Arbitrum. Can I recover it?

Accepted Answer

Your funds are not lost - they are in your wallet on Ethereum mainnet. You will need to bridge them from Ethereum to Arbitrum before depositing to Hyperliquid. Use the official Arbitrum bridge at bridge.arbitrum.io or a third-party bridge like Synapse or Across. See our bridge guide for a full walkthrough.

Question 5

Which wallets work with Hyperliquid?

Accepted Answer

Hyperliquid supports MetaMask, WalletConnect-compatible wallets, Rabby, and most EVM-compatible browser extension wallets. MetaMask is the most widely tested and reliable option. Hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor work when connected through MetaMask as a hardware wallet account.

Question 6

Why does MetaMask not pop up when I try to connect to Hyperliquid?

Accepted Answer

The most common causes are: MetaMask is locked and needs your password, the popup is being blocked by your browser, another wallet extension is intercepting the connection request, or MetaMask is disabled. Check that MetaMask is unlocked, disable other wallet extensions temporarily, and try allowing popups for app.hyperliquid.xyz.

Question 7

Can I use Hyperliquid on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can use the MetaMask mobile browser to access app.hyperliquid.xyz directly. Open the MetaMask app, tap the browser icon, and navigate to app.hyperliquid.xyz. Mobile browser connections through Safari or Chrome require WalletConnect, which can be less reliable than the in-app browser approach.

Question 8

I connected the wrong wallet to Hyperliquid. How do I switch?

Accepted Answer

Disconnect your current wallet from the Hyperliquid interface, then disconnect Hyperliquid from within your wallet's connected sites settings. Clear your browser cache for app.hyperliquid.xyz, refresh the page, and connect with the correct wallet. If the old session persists, try an incognito window.

Question 9

How long does it take to bridge to Hyperliquid?

Accepted Answer

Deposits from Arbitrum to Hyperliquid typically take 1-2 minutes. During periods of network congestion on either Arbitrum or Hyperliquid's L1, this can extend to 5-15 minutes. Transfers rarely take longer than 15 minutes. If your bridge has been pending for over 30 minutes, check the transaction on arbiscan.io and consult Hyperliquid's Discord for any network-wide issues.

Question 10

How long do Hyperliquid withdrawals take?

Accepted Answer

Withdrawals from Hyperliquid back to Arbitrum typically take 2-5 minutes. The withdrawal process involves bridging from Hyperliquid's L1 back to Arbitrum, which can be slightly slower than deposits. During periods of high withdrawal volume, times may extend to 10-15 minutes.
