Comparison
dYdX vs Hyperliquid
dYdX and Hyperliquid are two of the leading on-chain perpetuals exchanges, and Coinner runs the same Grid, DCA, copy, and TradingView bots on both. Both run a fully on-chain order book with self-custody, and both are primarily crypto venues that also list some non-crypto perps: dYdX via permissionless listings (WTI oil, gold, SPX, TSLA, EUR), Hyperliquid via builder-deployed HIP-3 markets (equity and commodity perps). Coinner runs bots on the perpetual markets of each, not spot. The differences that matter for bot traders are how you connect, how open-order limits are enforced, and the sign-up incentives. Here is how they compare.

Verdict
Which should you choose?
Both are excellent self-custodial venues for automated trading, and Coinner treats them identically at the strategy level. Choose dYdX if you want trade-only API keys, an equity-tier order budget that rewards larger balances with denser grids, and up to $550 in fee discounts for signing up through Coinner. Choose Hyperliquid if you prefer a one-time on-chain agent-wallet approval and its sub-second execution profile. Many traders run bots on both from a single Coinner account.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I run the same bot on dYdX and Hyperliquid?
Yes. Coinner runs the same Grid, DCA, copy, and TradingView bots on both venues, and you can connect accounts on each from one Coinner login.
Which is safer for bots?
Both keep your funds self-custodial. dYdX uses trade-only API keys and Hyperliquid uses an on-chain agent wallet; neither can withdraw or transfer your funds.
Is dYdX or Hyperliquid cheaper?
Base fees are close: dYdX is 0.05% taker / 0.01% maker and Hyperliquid is 0.045% taker / 0.015% maker, both scaling down with volume. dYdX also gives new accounts opened through Coinner a fee discount (Tier 3, no volume needed), so dYdX is often cheaper to start.
Do open-order limits differ?
Yes. dYdX caps open orders by an equity tier, so adding balance unlocks denser grids. Hyperliquid uses a flat account-wide cap, so Coinner applies a fixed per-bot ceiling instead.
