Gunbot Now on Hyperliquid – Decentralized Spot & Perpetuals
Crypto doesn’t wait, and neither do we. As centralized exchanges keep tightening the noose, Gunbot is heading where real traders thrive: on-chain, unfiltered, and fast as hell.
We’re proud to introduce native support for Hyperliquid, the decentralized spot/perpetuals exchange that feels like a CEX but runs like a DeFi dream, No wrapped tokens. No bridges. No middlemen. And now, no limits.
If you thought dYdX was cool, wait until you plug Gunbot into Hyperliquid.
