Bitsgap, 3Commas and Cryptohopper alternatives for Hyperliquid (2026)
Updated Nov 12, 2026 · 10 min read
Bitsgap and 3Commas now trade Hyperliquid; Cryptohopper doesn’t. What changes when your bot moves to Hyperliquid, and nine alternatives built for it, from bot platforms to open-source frameworks and AI agents.
Two of the three already work on Hyperliquid. Bitsgap has run all its bots on Hyperliquid since June 2026, and 3Commas v2 lists Hyperliquid spot and futures for its DCA, Signal and Grid bots. Cryptohopper doesn’t: it runs spot bots on centralised exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase and Kraken, and says it has no plans to add perps soon. If you want something built for Hyperliquid instead, the alternatives fall into four groups: bot platforms that charge a builder fee, open-source frameworks you host yourself, backtest-first strategy builders, and AI agents that write and run the strategy for you. Facts are from each company’s own pages, checked Nov 10, 2026.
Key takeaways
- Bitsgap: live on Hyperliquid perps since June 2026, connected with an API wallet. Futures bots start on Advanced at $69 a month ($55 billed annually), with no trading commission.
- 3Commas: v1 was switched off on Sep 11, 2026. v2, built with WunderTrading, trades Hyperliquid spot and futures by wallet signature; futures start on Pro at $50 a month ($38 annually).
- Cryptohopper: no Hyperliquid and no perps. It stays a spot-bot platform for centralised exchanges.
- On Hyperliquid, a bot connects through an agent wallet or a signature. It can trade but can’t withdraw, and any builder fee is one you approve, up to a maximum you sign.
- Hyperliquid’s own fees apply to every bot: 0.045% taker and 0.015% maker at the base tier on crypto perps, plus funding every hour.
- Built for Hyperliquid: WunderTrading and Gainium (bot platforms), Hummingbot and Freqtrade (open source), Keel (backtest first) and Senpi (an AI agent that writes and runs the strategy).

How to move a bot strategy to Senpi
- 01
Write down what your bot does
The entry signal, how it adds to a position, where it takes profit, where it stops and how much it risks per trade.
- 02
Describe it to Senpi’s agent
In the Senpi app or from Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Grok Bot, Hermes or Muse. The agent asks one decision at a time, writes the strategy and reads the rules back to you before anything trades. You can also start from a template close to your idea and change its levers.
- 03
Approve it and let it run
Senpi’s runtime runs the rules 24/7 from the strategy’s own funded wallet and exits through DSL, a stop that ratchets up as the trade gains. You can set a daily-loss limit and a drawdown halt on the strategy. Senpi has no backtesting tool, so test with a validation run and a small live budget.
Costs: on a paid Senpi plan the only trading fee is Hyperliquid’s own, because Senpi adds 0%. Pro at $50 a month is the lowest paid plan; the free trial, or trading without a paid plan, pays 0.03%. A running strategy uses no AI credits. Senpi also trades the XYZ DEX stock, metal, index and FX perps.
Describe your bot to Senpi’s agent
The agent writes the strategy, reads the rules back and runs it 24/7 on Hyperliquid, with DSL on every strategy built from a rule or a template.

What changes when your bot moves to Hyperliquid
- Keys. There is no exchange API key. A bot trades through an agent wallet you approve, or a signature, and Hyperliquid doesn’t let an agent wallet withdraw. Hyperliquid API wallets explains how it works and how to revoke one.
- Builder fees. On a paid Senpi plan there is none, so you pay only Hyperliquid’s fee. Other apps can add a builder fee on each fill, up to a maximum you approve. It sits on top of Hyperliquid’s 0.045% taker and 0.015% maker at the base tier, so a 0.035% builder fee adds about 78% to the cost of a taker order. Hyperliquid fees explained has the full rates.
- Funding every hour. Perp positions pay or receive funding hourly, which matters for a DCA bot that holds for days.
- 24/7 markets, stocks included. Hyperliquid never closes, and the XYZ DEX lists stock, index and commodity perps that trade through weekends, priced from Hyperliquid’s own order book when their home markets are shut.
- Short price history. Hyperliquid’s public API keeps the latest 5,000 candles per interval (about 3.6 days of 1-minute bars and 208 days of hourly bars), which limits any backtest built on it.
- Native order types. Hyperliquid has TWAP orders and, since early November 2026, a native trailing stop. Hyperliquid order types covers each one.
Which one fits
- You want the bot you already run, on Hyperliquid: Bitsgap for any of its bots, 3Commas for DCA, Signal and Grid bots.
- You trade TradingView signals: WunderTrading, 3Commas or Gainium.
- You code and want to host it yourself: Freqtrade or Hummingbot.
- You want to backtest and paper trade every strategy first: Keel or Gainium.
- You want to describe the strategy and have it run and protected for you, including stock and commodity perps: Senpi.
- You trade spot on Binance or Coinbase and don’t need Hyperliquid: Cryptohopper still does that.
Frequently asked questions
Does 3Commas support Hyperliquid?
Yes. 3Commas v2, built with WunderTrading after v1 was switched off on Sep 11, 2026, lists Hyperliquid spot and futures for its DCA, Signal and Grid bots. You connect with a wallet signature, and futures bots need the Pro plan at $50 a month ($38 billed annually).
Does Bitsgap support Hyperliquid?
Yes, since June 2026. Bitsgap runs all its bots on Hyperliquid through an API wallet, and rejects keys with withdrawal rights. Futures bots need the Advanced plan, $69 a month or $55 billed annually; Bitsgap charges no trading commission.
Does Cryptohopper support Hyperliquid?
No. Cryptohopper runs spot bots on centralised exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase and Kraken, has no DEX and says it doesn’t plan to add perpetuals soon.
What is the best 3Commas alternative for Hyperliquid?
It depends on how you trade. For the same kind of bots, WunderTrading (which built 3Commas v2) or Gainium. To code your own, Freqtrade or Hummingbot. To backtest every strategy first, Keel. To describe a strategy and have an agent run and protect it, including stock and commodity perps, Senpi.
What is the cheapest way to run a trading bot on Hyperliquid?
On a paid Senpi plan the only trading fee is Hyperliquid’s own: Senpi is a flat $50 a month with 0% Senpi fee, which costs less than a 0.035% builder fee above about $143,000 of monthly volume. Freqtrade and Hummingbot are free if you host them. Among hosted tools, WunderTrading is free with a 0.035% builder fee and Gainium’s free mode charges 0.045% on perps. Hyperliquid’s own fees apply to all of them.
Can I backtest a bot before running it on Hyperliquid?
Yes, on Bitsgap, 3Commas, Gainium, Keel, Coinrule and Freqtrade. Hyperliquid’s public API serves only the latest 5,000 candles per interval, so long backtests need another data source. Senpi has no backtesting tool; some of its strategy templates cite a historical replay.
Is it safe to connect a bot to Hyperliquid?
A Hyperliquid agent wallet can place and cancel trades but can’t withdraw, and you can revoke it at any time. Check the builder fee you approve when you connect: it is a maximum per fill that the app can charge. A bot can still lose money on the trades it makes.
What happened to 3Commas v1?
3Commas switched off v1 on Sep 11, 2026 and stopped its bots. Strategies don’t move to v2 automatically, so you rebuild them and reconnect your exchanges, Hyperliquid included.
Can Senpi run a DCA or grid bot?
Senpi isn’t a bot platform with fixed bot types. You describe your rules, including how a position adds and exits, and the agent writes a strategy that the runtime runs 24/7 with DSL. For a classic grid of resting orders, a grid bot on Bitsgap, 3Commas or Gainium is the closer fit.
Do I need to code to automate trading on Hyperliquid?
No. Bitsgap, 3Commas, WunderTrading, Gainium and Coinrule use forms and templates, and Senpi’s agent writes the strategy from a plain-English description. Freqtrade and Hummingbot are for people who code.
