Sub-accounts

A sub-account is a separate book under your main Hyperliquid account, with its own margin, positions and balances: use it to isolate risk.

Your main account signs everything; a sub-account has no key of its own. Switching to a sub only changes which book your orders execute on. One trading agent covers your main account and all its sub-accounts.

Where to find them

Open Account → Sub-accounts: your main account plus every sub-account, each with its live equity and open positions. Expand a row for the Perps / Spot breakdown, the address, and per-account actions.

Creating a sub-account

Click New sub-account and name it. Hyperliquid gates creation by lifetime trading volume:

• 10 sub-accounts unlock after $100k of volume,
• +1 for every additional $100M, up to a maximum of 50.

If your account isn’t eligible yet, Hyperliquid tells you why.

Renaming

Expand a sub-account and choose Rename. The name is only a label.

Funding a sub-account

Sub-accounts are funded from your main account, not by an external deposit. Expand a sub, choose Transfer, and move USDC (or any spot token) in either direction. Transfers are signed by your main wallet (one signature), never by an agent.

Trading from a sub-account

Switch the active account from the account switcher: the dropdown on the wallet button in the navbar, the header of the in-app wallet, or Trade as on the sub’s row in the panel. A full-width banner stays at the top of the app while you’re acting as a sub.

While a sub-account is active:

• Positions, orders, balances and the value chart are the sub’s.
• Orders execute on the sub, signed by your main account.
• Deposits, withdrawals and sends stay on your main account. Move funds to a sub via Transfer instead.

Reloading the page returns you to your main account, so you never trade a sub unknowingly.

Hiding a sub-account

Click the eye icon on a sub in the panel to hide it: it greys out there and drops out of the account switcher. Unhide it the same way. Hiding only affects this device’s display.
