What is whale.ag
whale.ag is a non-custodial super-app for Hyperliquid, the on-chain perpetuals exchange — one place to trade perps from your own wallet, copy the best traders, and earn from the volume you and your network drive. It never takes custody of your funds and never holds your keys: the wallet you connect is your Hyperliquid account, so when you deposit, the money lands in that account, and every order, agent, and withdrawal is signed by you. whale.ag is a sharper way to use Hyperliquid, not an intermediary that stands between you and your money.
Non-custodial by design
Custody is the foundation everything else is built on, so it is worth stating plainly. Your funds sit in your own Hyperliquid account the entire time; whale.ag cannot move them, only you can, and your private keys are never seen or stored — orders are signed in your browser. Copy-trading agents are the one thing you fund on purpose: you send capital into an agent you control, it trades on your behalf, and you can pull all of it back at any time with a single signature. Even then, no one else can withdraw it. If whale.ag disappeared tomorrow, your account and your funds would still be exactly where they are, on Hyperliquid, in your name. The full model lives in Security & Custody.
Trade
At the core is a from-scratch Hyperliquid perpetuals terminal for people who trade seriously: live charts, a real order book, market and limit orders on cross or isolated margin, adjustable leverage, and take-profit and stop-loss levels you drag directly on the chart. Because your wallet is the account, you keep your own exchange rate limits and trade as yourself rather than through a shared pool. Approving once lets you place orders without a wallet prompt on every trade — see The Trading Terminal and No-Popup Trading.
Copy
If you would rather back proven traders than pick every entry yourself, find a trader you believe in and deploy an agent that mirrors their moves, proportionally sized to your capital rather than theirs. You set the sizing multiplier, a portfolio stop-loss, and which coins to follow, and you can pause, top up, take profit, or wind the agent down whenever you want. You can also copy the Alpha50 hive, a consensus strategy distilled from 50 of the sharpest wallets on Hyperliquid, which is both votable and copyable. See Copy Trading and Alpha50.
Earn
Sharing whale.ag earns you a cut of the builder fee from everyone you bring in, at a rate that climbs as your network’s volume grows and unlocks through the Battle Pass. Every trade you make also earns season points toward tiers and fee discounts, so activity compounds into standing whether you trade, refer, or both. See Referrals & Battle Pass.
Who it’s for
whale.ag is built for traders who want a fast, complete Hyperliquid terminal without giving up custody; for copiers who would rather back proven traders than time every entry themselves; and for KOLs, communities, and affiliates bringing their audience on-chain and earning from the volume they drive.
What sets it apart
The terminal is wired to a wider system rather than sitting on its own. Live trader rankings, crowd positioning, and conviction-weighted smart-money flow surface next to the order ticket so you trade with context, and the same intelligence feeds the Alpha50 consensus signal. Getting funds in and out stays low-friction: you can bring USDC from almost any chain, or a card, straight into your Hyperliquid account in one step (see Deposits), and pull funds out natively with a single signature, a flat fee, and no gas (see Withdrawals). The whole app is available in 21 languages, including right-to-left, in the language you think in.
