Your funds aren’t pooled in one balance. They sit in separate accounts, one for each place you can trade, and you move money between them as needed. The upside is that trouble in one venue doesn’t spill into the others. The tradeoff is that you fund the account you want to trade from before you trade there.
The Accounts
| Account | Holds | Used for |
|---|
| Main Wallet | Solana and EVM assets | Spot holdings and swaps |
| Donut Perps | USDT margin | Perps on Donut Perps |
| Hyperliquid | USDC on Arbitrum | Perps on Hyperliquid |
| HIP-3 (trade.xyz) | Its own margin | Indices, isolated from standard Hyperliquid |
| Polymarket | USDC | Prediction markets, separate deposit channel |
How Isolation Works
Each account’s balance is independent. A loss or liquidation in one does not touch the others, and margin in one venue can’t be auto-borrowed by another. When you want to trade somewhere new, you transfer funds into that account first.
Before switching venues, move your margin over. If your Donut Perps account is funded but you ask to trade on Hyperliquid, you’ll need USDC in the Hyperliquid account first.
Tips
- Fund the venue you’re using. Keep margin where you actually trade rather than spread thin across all five.
- Isolation cuts both ways. It contains losses to one account, but it also means idle balances elsewhere aren’t doing anything for you.
- Ask your bot to move funds. Transfers between accounts go through the same preview-and-confirm flow as any other action.
