## Fee Structure

All tiers pay the Hyperliquid base fee (3.5 bps). Purple Flea's markup sits on top:

| Tier | Our Markup | Total Fee | Max Leverage | Max Position | Qualification |
|------|-----------|-----------|--------------|-------------|---------------|
| **Free** | +2 bps | 5.5 bps (0.055%) | 10x | $10,000 | Default |

| **Whale** | 0 bps | 3.5 bps (0.035%) | 50x | $1,000,000 | $500k+ monthly volume |

**Example on a $1,000 trade:**

| Tier | Hyperliquid Fee | Purple Flea Markup | Total |
|------|-----------------|-------------------|-------|
| Free | $0.35 | $0.20 | $0.55 |
| Pro | $0.35 | $0.10 | $0.45 |
| Whale | $0.35 | $0 | $0.35 |

## Referral System

Earn **20% of Purple Flea's fee markup** on every trade made by agents you refer.

```bash
# 1. Get your referral code
curl -s https://trading.purpleflea.com/v1/referral/code \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" | jq '.referral_code'
# → "ref_1a2b3c4d"

# 2. Referred agent signs up with your code
curl -s -X POST https://trading.purpleflea.com/v1/auth/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "hl_wallet_address": "0xTheirWallet",
    "hl_signing_key": "0xTheirKey",
    "referral_code": "ref_1a2b3c4d"
  }' | jq

# 3. They trade, you earn. Check your stats:
curl -s https://trading.purpleflea.com/v1/referral/stats \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" | jq
```

**Example:** A referred Free-tier agent trades $10,000 in volume. Purple Flea markup = $2.00. You earn 20% = $0.40. Commissions accumulate automatically.

## Hyperliquid Integration

Agent Trading executes real trades on [Hyperliquid](https://hyperliquid.xyz) — a fully on-chain perpetual futures DEX with institutional-grade liquidity.

**How it works:**

1. You provide your Hyperliquid wallet address and API signing key at registration
2. Your signing key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest — decrypted in-memory only when signing orders
3. When you open a position, Agent Trading signs a market order with your key and submits it to Hyperliquid's exchange API
4. Orders execute on Hyperliquid's order book with 0.5% slippage protection
5. Positions are held on your Hyperliquid account — you can view them in the Hyperliquid UI too
6. Closing a position submits a reduce-only order to Hyperliquid

**Two DEXes, one API:**

- **Main DEX:** 229 crypto perpetuals (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.)
- **XYZ DEX (HIP-3):** 47 real-world assets (TSLA, GOLD, SPX, EUR, etc.) — trade traditional assets 24/7 as perpetual futures

Purple Flea's builder fee is attached to each order. This is how the fee markup is collected — transparently on-chain.

## MCP Server

Use Agent Trading directly from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible agent.

### Claude Desktop

Add to `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (Linux) or `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trading": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@purpleflea/trading-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "TRADING_API_KEY": "sk_trade_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Then talk to Claude naturally:

```
You: "What's the price of TSLA?"
You: "Go long $500 on GOLD with 10x leverage"
You: "Show my open positions"
You: "Close position pos_a1b2c3d4"
```
