Bybit × AI Traders

Bybit is a familiar venue. We chose a different rail.

1,500+ pairs, derivatives-heavy, retail and pro, and a custody model where the exchange holds the keys. AI Traders brings the same toolkit — DCA, grid, copy trading — to Hyperliquid, where the protocol holds them instead.

What AI Traders brings to the bot conversation

DCA bot

Grid bot

Profit from chop. Place buy/sell ladders on any HL perp; live P&L, kill-switch in one click.

Pro terminal

Trailing stops, conditional orders, basket trading. Spot or perpetual, same hotkeys.

Combo bot

Stack DCA + grid + indicator triggers in one config. One bot, one stop button.

Backtest + paper

180 days of real HL data, funding cost included. Then 7 days of paper before live capital.

Trailing stop

Trigger by price, drawdown, or indicator. Pause, edit, restart — no waiting on support.

What is Bybit?

Bybit is a centralized crypto exchange that runs its own matching engine and custodies user assets. It supports spot trading and perpetual futures across 1,500+ pairs, with a derivatives-heavy, retail and pro positioning.

Founded in 2018, Bybit operates under the regulatory regime of each country it serves. KYC requirements: tiered. US residents: no (blocked since 2024).

For automation, traders generate an API key with trade-only or read-only scope and connect it to an external bot. The exchange keeps the funds; the bot signs trade requests on its behalf. Tier benefits via BIT/Mantle ecosystem (~10%).

Why automate at all

Deep liquidity

HL builders bring orderbook-equivalent depth on-chain. Slippage stays predictable even on 5-figure tickets.

Protocol-secured keys

On HL you never enable withdrawal permission. The protocol enforces "trade only" at the contract layer — not as a checkbox in our admin panel.

Transparent fees

Builder code routes 0.05% per fill on-chain. No hidden margin, no rebate scheme — every cent shows up in the explorer.

24/7 markets

Perps run continuously. Bots respect funding cycles for you; sleep is allowed.

Verifiable history

Open-source signal engine, walkforward-tested. Every fill ships with a decision log.

Reliable rails

Backend covered at 125/125 tests. Spike studies on real 60-day HL data show first positive results on BTC.

Bybit vs AI Traders — common questions

Can I connect my Bybit account to AI Traders?+

Not today. AI Traders runs only on Hyperliquid right now. We don't custody, route, or read Bybit API keys. Multi-exchange support is on the Phase 1 backlog; Hyperliquid stays the default rail.

Why Hyperliquid instead of Bybit?+

Hyperliquid's agent-wallet protocol gives a trade-only permission that the contract enforces — withdrawals from your account by anyone other than you are physically impossible. On Bybit, a "trade-only" API key is policy, not protocol. We prefer contracts to promises.

How do Bybit fees compare to Hyperliquid fees?+

Bybit spot starts at 0,10%/0,10% maker/taker at entry tier. Hyperliquid spot is roughly 0.035% taker, 0.015% maker. Bybit perps: 0,02%/0,055%; HL perps: 0.015%/0.035%. AI Traders adds a transparent 0.05% builder-code fee on top.

Does AI Traders require KYC the way Bybit does?+

No, because there is no AI Traders account that custodies you. You connect a wallet, you trade with your own keys. KYC may be required by Hyperliquid for certain jurisdictions or features; you handle that directly with HL.

Can I run a Bybit bot through AI Traders?+

Today, no. AI Traders issues only HL-native orders. If we add other exchanges later, they would always be opt-in and clearly labelled "custodial mode" — because non-custodial via protocol is what Bybit can't replicate.

What about the Bybit native-token fee discount?+

On Hyperliquid there is no equivalent. AI Traders' 0.05% builder fee is uniform — no tier games. Predictability instead of a leaderboard.
