Avail launches ShieldTX privacy tool for Hyperliquid traders

The new execution layer opens each perpetual futures position from a fresh wallet to make life harder for copy-trading bots On Hyperliquid, every trade is public. That is the point of a fully on-chain exchange, and also the problem. Avail has launched ShieldTX, a privacy tool that opens each perpetual futures position on Hyperliquid through its own separate wallet. The goal is to break the trail that copy-trading bots use to shadow successful traders. How ShieldTX works The setup starts with a deposit. Traders put USDC into a vault on Arbitrum, which becomes a shielded balance. From there, ShieldTX spins up new Hyperliquid accounts on demand. Each position draws funding from the shielded balance through one of these fresh, unlinkable wallets. The result is that the direct on-chain connection between a trader’s funding wallet and their individual positions disappears. An observer can see a position appear on the order book. Tracing it back to the capital behind it becomes much harder. Importantly, the trades themselves still execute natively on Hyperliquid’s order book. ShieldTX hides who is trading, not the trading itself, so positions still hit the same liquidity as everyone else....
