Getting started
From signing in to Pin placing its first trade for you, in five steps.
Five steps
Sign in
Use Google, email, a passkey or a crypto wallet. Perpin sets up a wallet for you, shown in the app as Cash.
Add money
Send USDC on the Arbitrum network to your Cash address. The app shows the address and a QR code. The minimum is 5 USDC.
Move it to Trading
One tap moves the USDC from Cash to your Hyperliquid account, shown in the app as Trading. Perpin pays the network fee for this move.
Choose a risk level
The risk level sets the size of each trade as a share of your balance. You can change it later.
Start
Press Start copying and accept. Your own wallet signs two approvals: one lets Pin's trading agent open and close trades on your account, never withdraw; the other sets the most Perpin may charge per order.
Risk. Send only USDC, and only on the Arbitrum network. Other assets or other networks sent to that address are lost.
Note. Paying by card or bank transfer is shown in the app as coming soon. It is not available yet.
The three risk levels
| Level | Size of each trade, as a share of your balance |
|---|---|
| Conservative | 0.5% |
| Balanced | 1% |
| Aggressive | 2% |
New accounts start on Balanced. The size of a trade always comes from your own balance and your level, never from the size of the desk's trade.
Why money comes before starting
Hyperliquid refuses the two approvals from an account that has never held money. So the app asks you to add money and move it to Trading first, and offers Start only after that.
After you start
Nothing happens until the desk publishes an idea that fits your account, so the first trade can take a while. When Pin acts, the app shows your open positions and a short plain-English note about what it did.
You do not need to keep the app open. Pin's trading agent runs on Perpin's servers and places the trades on Hyperliquid directly.
If you already have a Hyperliquid account
You can connect the wallet you already trade with. It becomes your Trading account, and the two approvals are signed with that wallet.
Stopping
Stop copying closes every open position at the market price, cancels your open orders and stops Pin. Nothing new is placed until you start again.
You can also close a single trade yourself. Pin does not reopen it, and you stay in line for later ideas.
