Security
Security in self custodied trading is almost entirely about what you sign and where you sign it, since there is no bank to call back a transaction once it's confirmed on chain. A phishing link asking for a wallet signature does more damage than most exchange hacks, because the victim authorizes it themselves. These guides cover the habits that actually prevent a drained wallet and how to evaluate whether Hyperliquid itself is safe to trust with size. What non-custodial means in practice is that responsibility sits with you, so the wallet hygiene you build matters more than any single security feature a platform can offer.
