Key ideas

  1. 1Connect from your community’s bot: it sends a fresh approval link that works for 30 minutes.
  2. 2On connect.lancetrade.xyz your wallet first signs a message naming you, then approves two things on Hyperliquid: the trading key and the most the bot fee can be (0.05% on a typical bot).
  3. 3Back in Telegram, the bot connects only the wallet that signed. A key lasts 180 days and renews with one signature.
  4. 4You can remove access in the bot at any time, or on Hyperliquid itself.

What you need

  • A crypto wallet: a browser extension on a computer, or MetaMask’s in-app browser on a phone.
  • USDC in your Hyperliquid account to trade with. You add it on Hyperliquid’s own app.
  • Your community’s bot open in Telegram, signed in with your own account.

Connecting costs nothing and moves no money. It takes about a minute.

Step by step

Connecting, once
  1. 1
    Ask your bot to connect
    It sends a fresh link, just for you, that works for 30 minutes.
  2. 2
    Open it on connect.lancetrade.xyz
    Check the address. The page shows which Telegram account the link is for.
  3. 3
    Sign a message
    Your wallet signs a message naming you. It is free, sends nothing and proves the wallet is yours.
  4. 4
    Approve the trading key
    One approval on Hyperliquid: the key can trade for you and can never withdraw.
  5. 5
    Approve the bot fee
    A second approval sets the most the bot can charge per trade. Your bot shows its exact fee (0.05% on a typical bot) before every trade.
  6. 6
    Back to Telegram
    Tap Back to Telegram, or send the bot the one-time code the page shows. It connects only the wallet that signed.

Staying connected

Hyperliquid accepts a trading key for up to 180 days. Your bot warns you 14, 3 and 1 days before it runs out; renewing takes one signature on the same page.

To stop the bot trading for you, remove access from Wallet and access in the bot. You can also remove the key on Hyperliquid itself, and your positions stay where they are either way.

Common mistakes

  • Approving on a look-alike site. The address must be exactly connect.lancetrade.xyz, and the page shows which Telegram account the link is for.
  • Sharing the one-time code the page shows. It only works from your own Telegram account; never send it to anyone else.
  • Typing your seed phrase anywhere. Lance never asks for it, and nobody from your community will.
  • Letting the key expire unnoticed. The bot warns you 14, 3 and 1 days before; renewing takes one signature.

Previous: What Lance is

Lance Learn is education, not advice. Examples use made-up or rounded numbers and say so; nothing here tells you what to trade.

Trading perpetual futures with leverage is high risk. Prices can move fast and you can lose all the money you put in. Lance is software: it does not give investment advice, manage money or trade on anyone’s behalf. Trades are executed on Hyperliquid, a third-party exchange that is not affiliated with Lance. Lance is not available to persons in the United States, the United Kingdom and sanctioned countries.
