How to Start Trading

Get from zero to your first perpetual trade in minutes.

Prerequisites

• A Byreal account: sign up with Google, Email, Bybit, or connect an existing Solana wallet (see Account Setup)

• Funds in your Byreal Solana wallet: any supported token works (SOL, USDC, USDT, etc.), but USDC is recommended as it avoids swap fees during transfer

1

Navigate to Perp Trading

Go to the Perp tab in the top navigation bar.

2

Transfer Funds to Perp Account

Transfer USDC from your Solana wallet to your Hyperliquid perps account:

• Click the wallet icon in the top-right corner

• Click Transfer

• Enter the amount of USDC to transfer

• Confirm the transfer

The transfer is handled by Relay and typically completes in ~30 seconds. See Transfer & Bridging for details on fees.

3

Enable Trading

After your first transfer, you'll need to enable perp trading:

• Click Enable Trading on the perp interface

• This activates your Hyperliquid trading session via Privy. No wallet signature is required.

• Current price and 24h change

• Funding rate

• Open interest

• Max leverage

Markets include crypto perps (BTC, ETH, SOL...) and RWA assets (xyz:GOLD, xyz:SILVER...). More markets will be added over time.

5

Place Your First Trade

• Choose Long or Short

• Select order type (Market or Limit)

• Enter position size

• Adjust leverage (1x–40x depending on market)
