Questions
Short answers. If yours is not here, write to us.
Does Bastion hold my funds?
No. Your USDC and positions stay in your own Hyperliquid account. Bastion only uses agent keys you approve, and Hyperliquid does not let agent keys withdraw or send funds elsewhere.
Is Bastion part of Hyperliquid?
No. Bastion is an independent front end and keeper built on Hyperliquid's public API. Orders go straight to Hyperliquid's order book.
What exactly does Guardian do?
When a position's distance to liquidation falls below your buffer (15% by default), it moves USDC from your idle balance into that position's margin until the distance is back to 50%. It runs on our servers, so it works with the app closed.
Can Guardian always prevent liquidation?
No. It needs idle USDC to draw on, and a very fast move can pass the liquidation price before any keeper can act. It makes liquidation much less likely; it cannot make it impossible.
Why do keys need re-approving?
Hyperliquid caps an agent key's life at 180 days. The app shows a countdown and we remind you 14 days before expiry by email and in the app.
Where does the idle yield come from?
From funding. Idle USDC holds a spot coin and an equal perp short, so price moves cancel out, and shorts collect the hourly funding that longs pay when the perp trades above the oracle.
Is the yield guaranteed?
No. It is a trailing 30-day rate from real funding payments. Funding changes every hour and can turn negative.
Why not put everything in HYPE, if it paid more?
It often does. The engine leans into the best payer but never puts more than 60% in one coin, so your income does not depend on a single market's funding.
What is a wick-guarded stop?
A stop-loss that fires only after price has held past it for 30 seconds, using the median of Hyperliquid's mark and oracle prices. One spike does not close your trade. In a real move it fires a little later than a plain stop.
What does it cost?
Hyperliquid's own trading fees, plus a 0.01% builder fee if you do not hold $BASTION. That fee buys back and burns $BASTION.
