# HyperAlpha API Key Import Guide

💡 Why Import an API Key? 

Importing an API Key simply grants the HyperAlpha system permission to execute trading strategies on your behalf. Built on strict non-custodial principles, this Key does not have withdrawal permissions. Your funds remain entirely secure inside your own Hyperliquid account.

#### 🚨 Crucial Prerequisite

Deposit First: Your Hyperliquid account must have available funds (deposit completed) in order to successfully activate and add an API Key on-chain. If your account balance is 0, the setup will fail.

#### Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Access the Management Page

* Log in to the HyperAlpha App. Click \[Import API Key] in the navigation bar (located at the top for desktop, or bottom for mobile) to enter the Wallet Management page.

Step 2: Generate Key & Sign via Wallet

* In the wallet management interface, click the \[Generate API Key] button.

* This will trigger your crypto wallet pop-up. Click \[Approve / Sign] to complete the secure authorization.

Step 3: Customize Account Alias (Important)

* In the configuration box, enter your preferred \[Hyper Account Name] (e.g., "Main Account", "High-Freq Strategy").
* Note: This name will be tied directly to your Telegram Bot notifications, allowing you to instantly identify which account triggered the trade update.

Step 4: Final Confirmation

* Click \[Confirm] after verifying the name.
* Complete the final signature confirmation in your wallet pop-up. Once the transaction is confirmed on-chain, the import process is complete.

#### Managing Your API Keys

Once imported, the Wallet Management page acts as your control dashboard. You can return here at any time to:

* Monitor Status: Check the connectivity and activation status of your current API Keys.
* Add / Edit: Link new API Keys for multi-account management or edit your current account aliases.

Revoke/Delete: Delete or revoke API Key permissions instantly, giving you absolute control over your account access.
