Deploy Finance, a self-custodial alternative to Hypertrade and ReLiquid

Disclosure: Deploy Finance publishes this page and offers a competing product that appears in it.

Not financial advice. Crypto, DeFi and perpetual-futures strategies can lose money, including your whole deposit. Yields are variable, and past or backtested results do not predict future returns. Read the risk disclosure.

Hypertrade, ReLiquid, and Deploy Finance all trade Hyperliquid perpetuals from your own wallet through an agent key that cannot withdraw. On custody, they are almost identical. What separates them is how much of each trade decision stays with you.

ReLiquid keeps all of it: five AI desks debate a trade, and nothing executes until you sign. Hypertrade keeps the strategy choice with you: you pick one of its published strategies, and it executes. Deploy Finance keeps neither: you choose an agent and an allocation, and the agent runs its mandate end to end.

What are Hypertrade and ReLiquid?

Hypertrade

Hypertrade is a trading terminal on Hyperliquid that combines automated strategies, market intelligence, and execution. It publishes four strategies: Atlas Long and Atlas Short for directional campaigns, Ignition for momentum, and Funding Flip for funding-regime setups. Each comes with inspectable rules for scaling, risk, and exits, including trailing stops. You connect a wallet, grant the agent wallet trade-only permission, and choose which strategy runs. Your owner wallet keeps withdrawal control.

Hypertrade states there is no monthly membership and asks users to review its trading fees before connecting.

ReLiquid

ReLiquid is built for discretionary traders who want structured second opinions. You ask a question, and five desks respond: market reads the tape, strategy frames the play, contrarian argues against it, execution stages the ticket, and risk holds a veto. You bring your own model and API key, which ReLiquid's servers never see.

The defining rule is that ReLiquid never auto-trades. You approve and sign every action. The agent key is restricted at the protocol level and cannot withdraw, and private keys are created and stored in your browser. It charges a flat 2.5 bp builder fee on executed volume with no subscription, and it describes the workspace as a preview, with fuller agentic features still to come.

Deploy Finance: the decision delegated

Deploy Finance runs two live agents, both funded and settled in USDC.

  • Income: Funding Rates holds roughly 75% of capital as the spot asset and uses 25% to back a 3x perpetual short of matching notional on Hyperliquid, collecting funding and rebalancing automatically.
  • Superstar takes long or short positions on perpetual markets under a strategy Deploy defines and manages.

You sign in with email or Google, which creates a self-custodial wallet on Privy's embedded-wallet infrastructure. You fund it with USDC, choose an agent and allocation, and approve a session key. From there the agent decides entries, exits, hedges, and sizing. You do not pick a strategy each week or sign each order.

Hypertrade's Funding Flip and Deploy's Income agent both work with funding, but differently: Funding Flip trades setups around funding regimes, while Income holds a hedged position to collect funding. Hypertrade's Atlas strategies and Superstar are both directional, and the difference there is who chose to run them.

When should you choose Deploy Finance, Hypertrade, or ReLiquid?

Choose Deploy Finance when:

  • You want the strategy decided and run for you, not picked or signed by you.
  • You want a market-neutral funding position held continuously, not a funding-regime trade.
  • You want to start from an email or Google sign-in.
  • You want agents that are live rather than in preview.

Choose Hypertrade when:

  • You want to switch between several published directional and momentum strategies yourself.
  • You want to backtest or demo a strategy before running it live.

Choose ReLiquid when:

  • You want to make every trading decision and sign every order.
  • You want AI analysis from your own model, including a contrarian view and a risk veto, before you act.

How much you delegate: ReLiquid keeps every decision with you, Hypertrade keeps the strategy choice with you, and Deploy Finance delegates the mandate. No integration between the products is implied.
