You’ve spent hours setting up your local dashboard, meticulously importing keys, and ensuring every DeFi protocol is accounted for. Then, you open the app only to realize Rotki do not see Hyperliquid balances. It’s a frustrating wall to hit, especially when Hyperliquid has basically become the center of the decentralized perpetuals universe in 2026.
Honestly, it feels like a glitch. You see your ETH, you see your Arbitrum tokens, but that massive HYPE airdrop or your active perp positions? Nowhere to be found.
The reality is a bit more nuanced than just "it's broken." Hyperliquid isn't just another DEX living on a standard chain; it's a beast of its own, and Rotki's local-first architecture has a hard time keeping up with how Hyperliquid's custom Layer-1 (HyperCore) actually functions.
Why Rotki struggles with Hyperliquid data
Rotki is famous for privacy. It runs locally on your machine, which is great for not getting tracked, but kinda sucks when you need to fetch data from a high-performance, non-standard chain.
Hyperliquid operates on HyperCore, a custom L1 that isn't a traditional EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) fork. While they recently launched HyperEVM for smart contracts, the actual trading—your fills, your funding rates, and your perp PnL—happens on the underlying engine. Most portfolio trackers, including Rotki, are built to scan standard ERC-20 transfers on BlockScout or Etherscan-like indexers.
Since Hyperliquid's trading engine uses a specialized API rather than standard event logs for everything, Rotki's "all-in-one" scanner often misses the mark. If the indexer Rotki uses hasn't specifically integrated the Hyperliquid "info" API endpoints, your wallet will look empty.
The HyperEVM vs. HyperCore gap
A lot of people get confused here. They see "Hyperliquid is EVM compatible" and assume any Ethereum tracker will work. Not exactly.
- HyperEVM is where the HYPE token lives and where new DeFi apps like Hyperlend operate. Rotki can often see these if you manually add the HyperEVM chain ID.
- HyperCore is where the perps happen. This is the "shadow" layer where your collateral sits while you're trading. Rotki currently does not have a native "Exchange API" connector for Hyperliquid's trading side.
If your funds are currently locked in a position or sitting as "Margin" on the exchange side, Rotki's blockchain scanner is literally looking at a different floor of the building.

Fixing the "Rotki Do Not See Hyperliquid" issue
If you're tired of seeing a zero balance, you have to get a little hands-on. You can't just wait for an auto-update that might be months away.
1. Manual Asset Mapping
Rotki allows you to create Custom Assets. If Rotki sees a token but doesn't know its price or what it is (which happens a lot with newer HyperEVM tokens), you have to map it.
- Go to Assets > Custom Assets.
- Enter the contract address from the Hyperliquid explorer.
- Manually link it to a Coingecko ID if the price is missing.
2. The Manual Balance Workaround
Since Rotki doesn't talk to the Hyperliquid trading API yet, the only way to get an accurate Net Worth calculation is to use Manual Balances.
It's a pain, I know.
But if you have 5,000 USDC sitting in a Hyperliquid vault or as perp collateral, you can add a "Manual Balance" entry labeled "Hyperliquid Margin." This ensures your total portfolio value is actually correct even if the "Live" sync is failing.
3. Use a Bridge Indexer
Some users have had luck using intermediate tools. By exporting your Hyperliquid history as a CSV and importing it into Rotki’s "Generic CSV" tool, you can at least get your historical trades into the database. However, this won't give you real-time tracking.

The state of Hyperliquid support in 2026
The Hyperliquid ecosystem has grown too big to ignore. With the HYPE token hitting massive volume and the chain ranking 3rd in app revenue behind only Ethereum and Solana, the Rotki dev team is definitely aware of the demand.
However, Rotki's commitment to local data ownership means they don't just "plug in" to a central server. They have to write specific code to parse HyperBFT consensus data.
Other trackers like HyperTracker or Kryptos have already built specific integrations because they use centralized indexing. Rotki users are essentially paying a "privacy tax" in the form of slower integration for complex chains like Hyperliquid.
Actionable steps for your portfolio
If you need your Hyperliquid data in Rotki right now, stop waiting for a "Sync" button that isn't coming this week.
- Audit your HyperEVM holdings: Check if your HYPE is in the "Account" or "Trading" side. If it's in the Account side, ensure you have added the HyperEVM RPC (like Alchemy or the public HL endpoint) to Rotki’s custom networks.
- Set up a monthly CSV export: On the Hyperliquid UI, go to your Trade History and export the last 30 days. Import this into Rotki under the "Exchanges" tab using the manual import tool.
- Check for Unknown Assets: Often, Rotki does see the tokens, but it labels them as "Unknown." Go to your "Detected Tokens" list and manually verify them.
The mismatch between Rotki and Hyperliquid is a classic case of "Privacy-First vs. Performance-First" software. While it's annoying that Rotki do not see Hyperliquid natively yet, using manual mappings and the HyperEVM RPC settings will get you 80% of the way to a complete dashboard.
