A note for developers building consumer trading apps
If you are building a trading app, the hard part is rarely the venue — it is the wallet under the venue. Users want a single tap, no popups, no chain switching, no "go buy gas first." That is an account-layer problem.
Openfort gives you the primitives:
- Embedded wallets with email, social or passkey login — one identity that derives EVM and Solana addresses, so a user can trade on Hyperliquid, Solana DEXs or any venue from one login flow. See Best Ethereum wallets for developers for the wider wallet stack.
- ERC-4337 and EIP-7702 smart accounts so a position open or close is one signed UserOperation, even when it bundles approve + swap + deposit.
- Gas sponsorship so first-time users do not need ETH or SOL to place an order. Pair with account abstraction policies scoped per user, asset or venue.
- Session keys scoped to a venue, an asset, a size and a TTL. The user approves a session at login; every order in that window goes through without a popup.
- Backend wallets for server-side signing — useful for liquidations bots, market makers and signal-driven agents.
- Open-source signer (OpenSigner) — self-hostable for teams with regulatory or sovereignty constraints.
Read the Openfort docs to wire this up, or talk to the team if your trading app needs help with a specific venue integration.
