Quickstart
Get trading on Silhouette in five steps. You will need an EVM wallet and funds on Hyperliquid.
1. Connect Your Wallet
Go to app.silhouette.exchange and click Connect Wallet. Silhouette supports MetaMask, Rabby, WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet, and email login.
2. Switch to Shielded Mode
At the top of the page, toggle the switch from Naked to Shielded. This enables Silhouette's shielded trading flow, routing your orders through the secure execution environment. To understand the difference, see Shielded Trading and Naked Trading.
3. Connect to Shielded Trading
Once in Shielded mode, you will be prompted to click the Connect Shielded button in the Accounts Dashboard. This establishes your encrypted connection with Silhouette's TEE.
4. Deposit Funds
If you have assets on HyperCore, deposit them to Silhouette by clicking To Silhouette in the Accounts Dashboard (when in Naked mode), or by clicking Transfer to/from Silhouette in the Balances section at any time. Your funds are held in a smart contract that only your wallet controls.
5. Start Trading
You are ready to trade. Place shielded spot orders on HYPE/USDC and any other supported pairs. Your orders are processed inside the TEE and settled on Hyperliquid - without anyone seeing your strategy.
