Getting Started

What is perpetuals trading on Nansen?

Nansen now supports perpetuals futures (perps) trading via Hyperliquid - one of the leading onchain derivatives venues.

This means you can access leveraged perps positions directly within the Nansen platform, alongside the best Hyperliquid analytics and Smart Money data you already use.

How do I deposit?

It’s super simple.

• Bridge to Hyperliquid from a connected Solana and Base wallet in-app

• Or transfer directly from another Hyperliquid address.

We’ll also soon allow you to bridge from external wallet from your browser EVM or Solana wallet.

When is this available?

Hyperliquid perps trading is available for Pro users from June 1, 2026.

For everyone else, you can expect it to be released the week after.

Do I need a separate account on Hyperliquid?

No. Perps trading is integrated directly into Nansen. You don't need to create a Hyperliquid account separately.

Can I use my existing Hyperliquid wallet?

You can deposit to your Nansen wallet directly from another Hyperliquid address.

Is a Pro plan required to access perps trading?

Perps trading becomes available for Pro users from June 1, 2026. All users can access perps trading once it rolls out the following week.

Pro users, however, trade at lower fees depending on their Nansen Points tiers.

Fees & Tiers

What is Hyperliquid's base fee?

4.5 bps for takers at the standard tier. Hyperliquid sets this, not Nansen - it can't be changed. It's the floor every perps trade starts from.

How are perps fees structured?

Every perps trade is the Hyperliquid base fee plus a Nansen builder fee. Your Points tier sets the builder fee - the higher your tier, the less you pay.

NOTE: Effective taker fee = Hyperliquid base fee (4.5 bps) + your Nansen builder fee. Nothing extra on top.

Nansen Points & Rewards

What are the NXP earn rates for perps?

When it comes to trading perps, you get 1 NXP per $400 perps notional traded.

Does leverage affect how many Points I earn?

No - Points are based on notional value, not the margin you deploy.

Trading Risk & Compliance

What are the risks of perps trading?

Perpetuals trading involves leverage, which means your losses can exceed your initial margin.

Fees are charged on the full notional value of a position, not just the margin you put in. Make sure you understand the mechanics before participating.
