How does the Institutional solution work?
Liminal offers a dedicated Institutional Mode designed for professional users, trading desks, and DAOs that require advanced control, scalability, and performance. This mode allows institutions to run Liminal’s delta-neutral strategies directly from their own Hyperliquid accounts, while maintaining full custody of their assets.
Key Features
Full Self-Custody
Assets remain under your control at all times. Liminal uses Hyperliquid’s native Agent system to execute trades on your behalf without ever accessing or withdrawing your funds. You only sign a one-time authorization, which can be revoked at any time.
Institutional Sub-Accounts
Sub-accounts allow institutions to separate capital allocations and manage strategies independently.
Segregated balances and isolated margin risk
Individual reporting and performance metrics
Streamlined strategy configuration per account
Sub-accounts are created and managed directly through the Liminal dashboard.
Execution Through Agent Signatures
To activate Institutional Mode, users sign a permission message allowing Liminal’s strategy engine to:
Execute trades on your behalf
Maintain delta-neutral strategy integrity
Operate without custody or withdrawal access
This enables high-frequency execution while maintaining institutional compliance standards. Agent authorization is handled directly from the "API" section of your Hyperliquid account. From there, you can view which agents are authorized and revoke access at any time if needed.

Manual Interaction Warning
Avoid manually transferring assets between your main Hyperliquid account and the sub-account linked to Liminal. These actions are not tracked by our execution engine and may result in failed rebalances or broken strategy logic. For best results, always manage deposits, withdrawals, and strategy operations through the Liminal interface.

Rebalancing Behavior: Institutional vs Regular
In institutional mode, users must monitor their spot/perp balance and perform “equalize” actions when prompted. This is required for rebalancing to succeed when approaching liquidation thresholds. Notifications are sent both via the Liminal interface and through Telegram to help you react in time, but execution remains your responsibility.
In regular mode, this process is handled automatically by Liminal. If you prefer not to actively manage your delta-neutral exposure or respond to balance prompts, regular mode is generally more appropriate.
