Quick Start
This guide gets you from zero to your first funded position on Zirodelta in under 10 minutes.
What you need before starting:
A wallet compatible with Hyperliquid (MetaMask or any EVM wallet)
USDC on Hyperliquid (you can bridge from Arbitrum or other chains via the Hyperliquid bridge)
Option A: Manual trade (no subscription required)
Step 1: Connect your wallet
Go to app.zirodelta.com and click Connect Wallet. Zirodelta uses Privy for wallet connection. You can use MetaMask, WalletConnect, or an email/social login.
Step 2: Approve builder fee
The first time you trade on Zirodelta, you will be prompted to sign an approveBuilderFee transaction. This is a one-time approval that authorizes Zirodelta to collect a 5bps builder fee on your perp orders. You sign this once per market type. It does not transfer any funds.
Note: This approval lives on Hyperliquid L1. It is not a smart contract interaction. It is a signed message stored in Hyperliquid's order routing system.
Step 3: Read the Farm Score
The market list shows every Hyperliquid perp ranked by Farm Score™ (0–100).
Score above 70: shorts are currently earning funding. The market is paying you to be short.
Score below 30: longs are currently earning funding. The market is paying you to be long.
Score 30–70: contested signal, lower conviction.
Click any market to open the trading terminal.
Step 4: Confirm the signal with CVD and OI Delta
Before entering, check two things:
CVD chart: Is buy/sell pressure consistent with your intended side? Positive CVD (net buying) favors shorts earning funding when the market is overheated long.
OI Delta: Is open interest growing? Rising OI with a high Farm Score confirms that new positions are entering the crowded side. And paying you to be on the other side.
Step 5: Set your size and place the order
In the order panel on the right, set your position size in USD. The inline yield hints show +$X/hr and +$X/day at that size and the current funding rate. Place the order as a market order (IOC limit at current price).
Option B: Autopilot delta-neutral (Pro subscription required)
Autopilot handles both legs of a delta-neutral trade automatically. You earn funding with zero directional exposure.
Step 1: Subscribe to Pro
Go to Portfolio > Subscription in the app. The Pro tier costs $10 USDC per 30 days, paid on-chain via Hyperliquid's usdSend action. Send exactly $10 USDC to the Zirodelta treasury address shown in the app. Your subscription activates within one block.
Note: Payment is verified on-chain. No credit cards, no off-chain billing.
Step 2: Approve the agent wallet
Sign the approveAgent transaction. This authorizes Zirodelta's backend to submit orders on your behalf. Your funds stay in your account. The agent wallet has signing authority only, not custody.
Step 3: Activate Autopilot on a market
In the trading terminal, switch to Autopilot mode. Select a market with a Farm Score above 70 (positive funding. This is the live path). Set your position size. Confirm.
Autopilot opens a short perp + long spot simultaneously. Both legs are equal in notional size. The position is delta-neutral. Price moves cancel between the two legs. Every hour, you receive funding from the longs paying shorts.
Step 4: Monitor and close
Autopilot shows your open positions under Portfolio. You can see accumulated funding earnings, current health, and a close button. Autopilot will also automatically close positions if you set a funding rate threshold rule in the Automation tab.
Option C: Zidee Wallet (mobile PWA. No perp knowledge required)
If you do not want to interact with the trading interface directly:
Open wallet.zirodelta.com on your phone — install as a PWA for an app-icon experience
Log in with Discord or email through Privy (no seed phrase to back up at sign-up)
Walk through the onboarding gates: deposit USDC → approve the agent → acquire ZDLT for tier
Autopilot runs delta-neutral strategies in the background once you cross the Mintaka tier (≥1,000 ZDLT)
You receive funding yield directly without ever seeing the order form. Designed for users who want passive yield and nothing else. See Zidee Wallet for the full walkthrough.
