WhalePod is a copy-trading bot for Hyperliquid, delivered through Telegram. It exists because the best alpha on HL is sitting in plain sight — top traders' fills are public on-chain — but acting on it manually is impossible: you'd need to watch the WebSocket 24/7 and fire orders within seconds.
WhalePod does that for you. You connect your Hyperliquid wallet by approving a scoped agent wallet (so WhalePod never touches your funds or withdrawal keys — only the agent can place trades, and you can revoke it any time). You browse a curated list of whales with live PnL, pick the ones you want to copy, and set:
Per-trade USD cap — the max notional WhalePod will mirror per entry
Max leverage — capped per whale (1–50×), enforced via Hyperliquid's updateLeverage before every copied entry
Take-profit / stop-loss in bps — placed as real reduce-only trigger orders on Hyperliquid right after each entry fills
Under the hood, WhalePod runs a dedicated WebSocket consumer that listens to whale fills on Hyperliquid mainnet, scales the trade to each follower's cap, signs the order with the user's agent wallet, and submits through Hyperliquid's builder API (we're a registered builder: 0x1CD2B147EfE092c3BdE0B474bCE3Bd33ae3dbB37). Fills are reconciled every 60 seconds against Hyperliquid's userFills so your PnL and leaderboard numbers are HL truth, not local estimates.
Risk controls users actually need:
/pause — temporarily stop copying everyone
/kill / /unkill — emergency stop
/close ETH, /closeall — reduce-only IOC close of any open position
/disconnect — revoke the agent wallet entirely
Why Telegram? Because the moment a whale opens a position, you want to know — and so does the bot. Telegram gives us push notifications, command-line speed, and zero install friction. The miniapp (app.whalepod.trade) provides richer browsing for picking whales.
What WhalePod is not: it's not a vault, not a fund, not custodial. WhalePod has zero access to your funds. The agent wallet model is the same one Hyperliquid's official frontend uses; we just point it at trades chosen by the whales you follow.
Built for Hyperliquid first and only — no multichain abstraction, no bridge, no token. The product is the product.
