Use Signal

Get started

Open signal.family. You can browse everything without signing in. To trade or launch you need a wallet with some HYPE, the coin that pays for transactions on HyperEVM (chain ID 999).

Sign in

Press Sign in. There are two ways in:

  • Email, Google or X. Signal makes a wallet for you when you sign in, through Privy. It is yours alone: Signal does not hold its key.
  • A wallet you already have (MetaMask, Rabby, Phantom and others): "Continue with a wallet", or "Use a wallet instead".

Signal never asks for a private key or a recovery phrase, and has no import box. If you already have a wallet, sign in with it, or send its coins to your Signal address.

Put money in

Open the account menu and press Add money. Pick where the money comes from and the sheet shows the one address to send to:

  • HyperEVM: send HYPE or USDC. Ready to trade the moment it lands.
  • Hyperliquid: the same address. "Transfer to EVM" on Hyperliquid moves HYPE straight to it.
  • Another network (Base, Arbitrum, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Robinhood Chain, Solana): the money stays yours on that network and can pay for a coin on Signal in one tap.

From an exchange, withdraw HYPE on HyperEVM if the exchange offers it. If it does not, withdraw USDC on Arbitrum or Base, with a little ETH there for gas. More in your wallet.

Make a first trade

  1. Find a token. Search opens with /. Search by the full contract address when it matters: names, tickers and pictures can be copied by anyone.
  2. Read its page: what it trades against, its fee, its rules, its safety check.
  3. Enter an amount. The ticket shows what you get and what the trade costs.
  4. Press Buy. A wallet you brought asks you to confirm. A Signal wallet with instant trading on sends at once.
  5. Wait for the confirmation. A transaction that was sent is not yet a transaction that landed.

Three things to know early

HYPE and WHYPE are different. HYPE is the native coin. WHYPE is its ERC-20 wrapper at 0x5555555555555555555555555555555555555555. A token "paired with HYPE" trades against WHYPE inside its pool; when you pay HYPE, the route wraps and unwraps it for you.

Keep some HYPE for gas. The ticket's MAX leaves 0.01 HYPE in the wallet for that reason. The dollar value of your holdings is not HYPE you can spend.

Back up a Signal wallet. Account menu, Back up your wallet. Privy's own window shows the key; Signal never sees it. Write it on paper. Anyone who has it can take everything in the wallet, and nobody from Signal will ever ask for it.

A public wallet address and a transaction hash are all anyone needs to look into a trade or a reward. Never share a key or a recovery phrase with support, or with anyone.
