Train to Become an On-Chain Vault Curator on Hyperliquid
Vaults are eating finance. $120B+ in TVL onchain. Three curators control 75% of the market — and the long tail of specialist curators is unbuilt. Algo Traders Club trains developers to fill that gap on Hyperliquid's HyperEVM and HIP-3 markets.
Start free with Hyperator — a ~200-line Python trading bot you can clone, run, and read in a single sitting. Graduate through three tracks: Operator (the Keeper bot), Curator (deploy a real ERC-4626 vault), and Builder (multi-vault portfolios and HIP-3 markets).
The full curator journey — enter at any point
Three Tracks. One Curator's Career Path.
Track A — The Operator (Keeper)
The on-ramp. Ship a production keeper bot.
Build, deploy, and operate a Python trading agent on Hyperliquid. Risk management, Claude Code or Cursor workflows, 24/7 deployment. Graduate with a public GitHub repo and 14 days of live data.
Standard tier · See Track ATrack B — The Curator
Deploy a real ERC-4626 vault on HyperEVM.
Solidity. The four-role architecture (Owner / Curator / Allocator / Sentinel). hyper-evm-lib and CoreWriter. Ship a live vault with at least one external depositor and a 30-day operating history.
Premium tier · See Track BTrack C — The Builder
Multi-vault portfolios. HIP-3 markets. Institutional ops.
The institutional track. Run a portfolio of vaults, deploy your own HIP-3 perp market, take external curator mandates. Cohort-based, capped enrollment.
Start with Hyperator
Clone something tiny that works. Read every line. Then graduate through the three tracks.
Clone it
git clone github.com/algo-traders-club/hyperator, uv sync, then edit .env.
Run it
Execute uv run python hyperator.py. Dry-run by default, on testnet, logging to SQLite.
Read it
The codebase fits on one screen: CCXT calls, a SQLite logger, and a strategy function. No magic.
Become a Curator
From keeper bot to live vault: Foundation plus three tracks that map to a curator career on Hyperliquid.
Track A — Operator / Keeper
- CCXT connectivity and dry-run discipline
- hype CLI and 24/7 DigitalOcean deployment
Track B — Curator / Vault
- ERC-4626 / ERC-7540 vault standards and the four-role architecture
- Foundry testing, hyper-evm-lib, CoreWriter, and Sentinel circuit breakers
- Ship a live vault with external depositors and 30-day operating history as your graduation gate
Track C — Builder / Institutional
- Multi-vault portfolio management
- Deploy your own HIP-3 perp market
- External curator mandates and institutional reporting

From Code to Capital
A simple, powerful workflow for deploying autonomous trading agents on Hyperliquid L1 and operating them with Claude Code and Nexwave.
- 1
Develop Your Strategy
Use the Hyperliquid SDK to define your trading logic:
- Connect directly to Hyperliquid L1 and HIP-3 DEX markets and define trading signals
- Implement market making, arbitrage, and momentum strategies tailored to Hyperliquid
- Instrument your strategy for observability — SQLite locally, Nexwave when you scale
- 2
Deploy Your Agent and Operate It with Claude Code
Securely run and manage your trading agents:
- Deploy to a DigitalOcean droplet (or any VPS) with SSH access and your repo checked out
- Give Claude Code
CLAUDE.md/SKILL.mdcontext, then use it to start, stop, and monitor your agent via hype - Trade perpetual futures on Hyperliquid 24/7 with full autonomy
- 3
Monitor & Scale with Nexwave
Observe and optimize your agents with production-grade data:
- Track trading performance and PnL across agents in Nexwave.so
- Fine-tune strategy parameters using analytics, metrics, and anomaly detection
- Scale position sizes, capital allocation, and the number of agents you operate confidently
Strategy Archetypes for On-Chain Vaults
Funding Rate Harvester
Capture persistent funding on Hyperliquid perps inside a vault wrapper.
Basis Trader
Spot vs perp basis trades with delta-neutral vault accounting.
HIP-3 Funding Play
Permissionless perp markets as a curator edge on Hyperliquid.
Delta-Neutral Basket
Multi-asset market-neutral vault strategies.
Cash-and-Carry Treasuries
Tokenized treasuries with on-chain carry strategies.
Why vaults on Hyperliquid: HyperEVM + HyperCore + HIP-3 give curators native execution, composable vaults, and permissionless market creation — the full stack for on-chain asset management.
Meet Your Coach
Fodé Diop aka Bot Mechanic
I'm not just a teacher; I'm a builder and founder. As the founder of Nexwave.so and Algo Traders Club, I've been developing and deploying autonomous trading agents and on-chain vaults on Hyperliquid, sharing my journey and findings publicly. Operators today run the stack with Claude Code on their own servers — SSH in, give the agent your project context, and operate hype with a real permission model. I've navigated the challenges, celebrated the wins, and codified my learnings into a framework designed to accelerate your path from developer to vault curator. My goal isn't just to teach you to code, but to teach you how to build, operate, and scale real trading systems across the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Let's build together.
