Leverage without handing over your keys.

Your funds stay in a wallet you control. Farao is the interface — long or short 100+ markets at up to 50x, with no exchange account in the middle.

Overview

On a centralized exchange, your balance is a claim on a company. If the venue halts withdrawals, your collateral is frozen with it. Self-custodial trading removes that failure mode: assets sit at an address only you control, and every order exists because you signed it.

The historical cost of self-custody was workflow — desktop browser extensions, transaction popups, gas management. Farao removes that cost on mobile. The app onboards you into a self-custodial wallet, funds in USDC, and gives you a consumer-grade order flow while trades settle on Hyperliquid L1. Farao never takes custody of user funds.

Why it matters

No counterparty custody risk

There is no exchange account holding your collateral. Funds live at your address until the moment a position needs them.

Withdrawals are not a feature

Moving funds out is a transfer you sign, not a request a venue approves. No queues, no processing windows, no limits set by support.

Full leverage workflow

Up to 50x trading power with TP/SL at entry and live liquidation visibility — the same risk tooling a centralized app offers.

Consumer-grade mobile flow

No browser extension, no per-order popups. Sign once, trade from a phone-first interface designed around the position lifecycle.

How it works

  1. 01

    Create your wallet in the app

    Onboarding sets up a self-custodial wallet — keys are yours, recovery is yours, Farao is the interface on top.

  2. 02

    Fund in USDC

    Card or crypto transfer. The deposit lands at your own address, not an exchange omnibus wallet.

  3. 03

    Trade with signed orders

    Orders are signed from your wallet and routed to Hyperliquid L1 for execution and settlement.

  4. 04

    Exit on your terms

    Close positions and move funds whenever you choose. No venue sits between you and your collateral.

Risk, handled upfront

Defined risk at entry

Take-profit and stop-loss attach to the order before it opens, so leverage never runs unprotected.

Liquidation price always visible

Adjusting size or leverage updates the liquidation price live, before you sign.

Keys stay with you

Self-custody means no one — including Farao — can freeze, lend, or move your funds. It also means securing your recovery method matters.
