Self-Custodial Crypto Wallet and DEX
A self-custodial multi-chain wallet: swap on-chain, bridge between chains, and trade perpetuals on Hyperliquid and Aster from your own wallet.
What does self-custodial mean on the Bicoince DEX?
Your order is signed by your own wallet and executes at the venue — Hyperliquid for USDC markets, Aster for USDT — not on the Bicoince order book. The position sits on your own account at that venue rather than being a balance we hold for you. The custodial exchange and this wallet are separate places with separate balances, which is why moving value between them is a transfer rather than a setting.
What is the trading agent I am asked to enable, and can it move my funds?
It is a trade-only agent: a key you authorise once, with a single signature, that can open and close orders on your venue account and cannot withdraw. Withdrawing stays with your own wallet and your own signature. Enabling it is what lets the same positions be managed from the web app and the mobile app, instead of only from the device that signed.
Why does a pair show different leverage here than on the Futures wallet?
Because they are two different markets with two different limits. The Futures wallet is our own custodial engine and caps leverage per market; a DEX order is filled by the venue, which applies its own bracket for that pair, and a venue bracket can be considerably higher. Neither number is wrong — the ticket always shows the cap for the wallet you are on, and a jurisdictional limit for your region applies on top of both.
What do I need before I can trade perpetuals from my own wallet?
The same identity verification the custodial side requires: the agent cannot be enabled below the verified tier, so KYC comes first. After that you authorise the trade-only agent once, and approve the platform fee once if one is set — the fee is shown before you approve it, and the signature is capped so it cannot later be raised beyond what you agreed to.
