DEEP DIVE

Three differences that change how you trade

1) The "Mobile Gap"

Hyperliquid is desktop-first. Based is thumb-first: bottom nav, oversized Close Position, 5x leaner data for spotty 4G.

2) The "One-Click" Philosophy

Session Keys are prompted on connect. React to news without MetaMask pop-ups. Elon tweets → you trade instantly.

3) Data & Analytics

Based doubles as your trading journal: win/loss tracking, equity curve, CSV export. Official UI shows current trades only.

The Safety Argument

Based cannot steal your funds. We are a frontend to the audited Hyperliquid bridge contract; private keys stay on your device. If Based vanished, you would reconnect to hyperliquid.xyz and your positions remain intact. Same chain, same custody.

Stick to Hyperliquid.xyz if:

  • You trade once a week.
  • You never trade on your phone.
  • You prefer raw data over guided UX.

Switch to Based App if:

  • You trade for a living (or want to).
  • You manage risk away from your desk.
  • You want instant entries/exits without wallet pop-ups.
  • You care about dark, clean UX built for speed.

The engine is the same. The ride is better.

Upgrade your Hyperliquid experience with a cockpit built for speed, mobile, and clarity. Same liquidity, faster execution, richer tools.
