What pvp.trade is

pvp.trade is a Telegram trading bot (@pvptrade_bot) for Hyperliquid perps. You type commands such as /long, /short, /stoploss and /positions in a DM with the bot or in a group chat, and the bot places the order on HyperCore, Hyperliquid’s trading engine and order book. In groups, trades are announced to everyone, with leaderboards, clans and taunts.

Other features: copy-trading and counter-trading other users, /track for watching wallets, charts, points and XP levels that unlock permanent fee discounts. You can deposit USDC on Hyperliquid, Arbitrum or Solana (minimum 10 USDC) into a bot-created wallet, or attach an existing Hyperliquid account with an API (agent) key. DefiLlama has tracked pvp.trade’s builder since October 27, 2024, making it one of the earliest builder-code front ends. Its fills on November 2, 2026 covered core perps, HIP-3 markets (permissionless perps run by deployers who stake 500,000 HYPE) and spot.

What it costs

pvp.trade earns through a Hyperliquid builder fee, an extra charge on each fill. Its docs contain two schedules:

  • The Fee Tiers page (the newer one) sets a base perps fee of 0.025% to 0.040% at level 1, falling to 0.010% to 0.025% at level 98. A 30-day volume discount (up to 1.5 bps from $10M) and a per-trade leverage discount (up to 4 bps at 40x) come off that. Spot fees apply only to sells and equal twice your effective perp fee.
  • The older FAQ says 0.05% on futures and 0.5% on spot sells, with no fee on bridging or liquidations.

Onchain data fits the Fee Tiers page. On November 2, 2026, core-perp and HIP-3 builder fees clustered at 3.5 to 4 bps (62% of core-perp volume at 3.8 bps). Spot sells paid 18 bps, which matches neither written rule.

At the 4 bps ceiling, $10,000 of taker volume costs about $8.50 ($4.50 to Hyperliquid plus $4.00 to pvp.trade), against $4.50 on the official app. Check other rates in the fee calculator.

How to use it

  1. Open t.me/pvptrade_bot in Telegram and run /start.
  2. Deposit at least 10 USDC (on Hyperliquid, Arbitrum or Solana) to the address the bot shows.
  3. Optionally, add the bot to a group chat with friends, and turn on /security two-factor with a passkey.
  4. Run /long or /short, pick a ticker, leverage and margin, and confirm the market order.
  5. Manage it with /positions, /stoploss and /takeprofit, and move funds out with /withdraw.

Risks and limits

  • Leverage, made cheaper. The leverage discount lowers fees on higher-leverage trades, which makes risky sizing feel cheaper. You can still lose your whole margin. Read how perpetual futures work.
  • Telegram is the key. Anyone who takes over your Telegram account can trade. Turn on pvp.trade’s passkey 2FA.
  • Key custody. Bot-created wallets’ keys sit in Turnkey enclaves. You can export them from /settings, which is also the only way to recover funds sent in the wrong asset.
  • Conflicting fee docs. Rely on the Fee Tiers page and what the bot shows.
  • No stated leverage cap. pvp.trade’s docs don’t say what maximum leverage it offers.
  • Region limits. Hyperliquid’s terms restrict the US and Ontario.

Who it suits, and alternatives

pvp.trade suits crypto-native traders who already live in Telegram and enjoy trading alongside friends. If you’d rather use a screen than chat commands, HyperDash (1.5 bps) and Based (2.5 bps, which also has a Telegram bot) are close in spirit, and fomo brings the social feed to a phone app. See Hyperliquid front ends compared.

pvp.trade’s referral program pays 10% of every fee a direct invite pays, 3% at the second level and 1% at the third, plus personal rakeback of 5% to 30% by XP level, claimable with /rewards once 10 USDC accrues.
