How to connect Trust Wallet to Hyperliquid

Trust connects through WalletConnect

The connect dialog names six options: email login, MetaMask, Brave Wallet, WalletConnect, OKX Wallet and Coinbase Wallet. Trust Wallet is not one of them, and people read that as “not supported”.

It is supported. WalletConnect is the option to press. It is an open pairing protocol rather than a wallet, and it is how Trust connects to most sites, not just this one.

There are two ways to use it, and the mobile one is easier.

On mobile, the simpler route

1. Open Trust Wallet and find the browser

   Trust ships a browser. Using it means the site and the wallet are the same app, so there is no QR code and no session to lose.

   You should see an address bar inside the app

2. Go to the app through a referral link

   The 4% discount only attaches to a wallet that has never traded, so this comes before anything else. It cannot be added afterwards.

   You should see an invitation panel naming the code, before you connect

3. Press Connect, then WalletConnect

   Inside the in-app browser this resolves to Trust itself rather than showing a QR code.

   You should see Trust asking to connect to app.hyperliquid.xyz

4. Accept the terms, then sign them

   The Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and cookie policy acceptance is a signed message, not just a tap. It costs no gas.

   You should see two ticked checkboxes, then a signature request of type Hyperliquid:AcceptTerms

5. Press Establish Connection and sign the agent approval

   Type ApproveAgent, gas-free. It authorises order placement through an agent key and cannot move funds out.

   You should see the order ticket becoming active

On desktop, with the phone as the signer

1. Open the app on the desktop through a referral link

   Same rule about the code, same reason.

   You should see the invitation panel, before connecting

2. Click Connect, then WalletConnect

   This is the generic pairing option, and it is the correct one for Trust.

   You should see a QR code on the desktop screen

3. Scan it from inside Trust Wallet

   Trust has a scanner in the app. After scanning, the desktop drives the interface and the phone signs.

   You should see the desktop showing your address in the top-right corner

4. Approve each prompt on the phone

   Every signature request now appears on the phone rather than the desktop. There are two of them before you can trade, and neither costs gas.

   You should see the terms signature, then the agent approval, both on the handset

What you actually signed

Two prompts, and neither is a transfer.

Hyperliquid:AcceptTerms records that you accepted the Terms of Use and the cookie policy. It is a signature rather than a click because the acceptance is recorded on-chain rather than in a cookie.

ApproveAgent authorises an agent key to place orders on your behalf, so that trading afterwards needs no signature per order. It cannot withdraw. Withdrawals need a separate signature from the wallet itself, which is the property that makes the whole model safe to leave connected.

The account guide shows both prompts as screenshots.

What it costs once you are trading

Your wallet does not enter into it. At the entry tier a taker order costs 0.045% of notional, or 0.0432% with a code applied before the first trade.

Troubleshooting

The QR code will not scan. Refresh the desktop page to generate a fresh one. WalletConnect codes expire quickly by design.

Connected, then dropped a few minutes later. The session ended, usually because the app went to the background. Reconnect and carry on; nothing about your account depends on the session.

Signature prompts never arrive on the phone. Trust is not actually running in the background. Open it, then trigger the action again from the desktop.

Everything works, but the balance is zero. You are connected to the right wallet and it holds no USDC on Hyperliquid yet. The deposit guide covers the routes.

Where to go next

If you would rather trade on a desktop with a browser extension, the wallet comparison covers all six options. Phantom connects the same way, through WalletConnect, if you already use it for Solana.

Trading from a phone specifically? What exists on mobile, and what does not.
