Getting started
New to Filo? These short guides walk you through setup end to end — connect, fund, and run your first strategy. No prior crypto experience needed.
1 What is Filo, in one minute Filo runs an automated Smart Grid for you on Hyperliquid spot. You keep custody; Filo only gets a trading key that can trade but never withdraw. 2 Connect to Hyperliquid (and authorise Filo) Two ways to connect: create a Filo wallet (easiest, no crypto experience needed) or connect your own wallet. Then authorise Filo to trade. 3 The builder fee, explained Filo earns a small per-trade fee charged by Hyperliquid (the "builder fee"), capped by what you approve. No subscription, no hidden cost. 4 Fund your account (use your Spot balance) Deposit USDC to Hyperliquid. The Grid Bot trades spot, so move your USDC to your Spot balance inside Hyperliquid before it can run. 5 Start a Grid Bot A Grid Bot averages into a coin in steps as it dips and sells each step into strength. Set capital, steps, and triggers — Filo handles the rest. 6 Reading your dashboard Where to see positions and PnL, why a trade shows SKIPPED, and why buys can pause — so nothing on the screen is a mystery.
