## Background
Hyperliquid official documentation recommends using Agent Wallet pattern for API trading:
- Agent Wallet is used for signing only
- Main Wallet Address is used for querying account data
- Agent Wallet should not hold significant funds
Reference: https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/for-developers/api/nonces-and-api-wallets
## Current Implementation
Current implementation allows auto-generating wallet address from private key,
which simplifies user configuration but may lead to potential security concerns
if users accidentally use their main wallet private key.
## Enhancement
Following the proven pattern already used in Aster exchange implementation
(which uses dual-address mode), this enhancement upgrades Hyperliquid to
Agent Wallet mode:
### Core Changes
1. **Mandatory dual-address configuration**
- Agent Private Key (for signing)
- Main Wallet Address (holds funds)
2. **Multi-layer security checks**
- Detect if user accidentally uses main wallet private key
- Validate Agent wallet balance (reject if > 100 USDC)
- Provide detailed configuration guidance
3. **Design consistency**
- Align with Aster's dual-address pattern
- Follow Hyperliquid official best practices
### Code Changes
**config/database.go**:
- Add inline comments clarifying Agent Wallet security model
**trader/hyperliquid_trader.go**:
- Require explicit main wallet address (no auto-generation)
- Check if agent address matches main wallet address (security risk indicator)
- Query agent wallet balance and block if excessive
- Display both agent and main wallet addresses for transparency
**web/src/components/AITradersPage.tsx**:
- Add security alert banner explaining Agent Wallet mode
- Separate required inputs for Agent Private Key and Main Wallet Address
- Add field descriptions and validation
### Benefits
- ✅ Aligns with Hyperliquid official security recommendations
- ✅ Maintains design consistency with Aster implementation
- ✅ Multi-layer protection against configuration mistakes
- ✅ Detailed logging for troubleshooting
### Breaking Change
Users must now explicitly provide main wallet address (hyperliquid_wallet_addr).
Old configurations will receive clear error messages with migration guidance.
### Migration Guide
**Before** (single private key):
```json
{
"hyperliquid_private_key": "0x..."
}
```
**After** (Agent Wallet mode):
```json
{
"hyperliquid_private_key": "0x...", // Agent Wallet private key
"hyperliquid_wallet_addr": "0x..." // Main Wallet address
}
```
Users can create Agent Wallet on Hyperliquid official website:

## Summary
- Add POST /traders/:id/sync-balance endpoint (Option B)
- Add smart detection showing balance change percentage (Option C)
- Fix balance display bug caused by commit 2b9c4d2
## Changes
### api/server.go
- Add handleSyncBalance() handler
- Query actual exchange balance via trader.GetBalance()
- Calculate change percentage for smart detection
- Update initial_balance in database
- Reload trader into memory after update
### config/database.go
- Add UpdateTraderInitialBalance() method
- Update traders.initial_balance field
## Root Cause
Commit 2b9c4d2 auto-queries exchange balance at trader creation time,
but never updates after user deposits more funds, causing:
- Wrong initial_balance (400 USDT vs actual 3000 USDT)
- Wrong P&L calculations (-2598.55 USDT instead of actual)
## Solution
Provides manual sync API + smart detection to update initial_balance
when user deposits funds after trader creation.
