The four doors#

Four ways to give your money a "horse". Pick one, and your money works through a mandate.

Testnet only. The mandate vault is on Base Sepolia (chain 84532) and trading happens on Hyperliquid testnet. Nothing here touches mainnet money.

The idea in five lines#

1. Your money stays in your own mandate vault on Base. The vault's contract enforces the caps; Torii never holds your funds.
2. Trading on Hyperliquid happens through the mandate's own HL leg: your own Hyperliquid account, with one trade-only key you approve. That key can place and cancel orders; it cannot withdraw.
3. The bot (yours, or the house's) never holds a Hyperliquid key and never bridges or transfers money. It asks Torii to place an order, and Torii checks the mandate first.
4. You fund the Hyperliquid account yourself, from your own wallet. The vault does not move money to Hyperliquid. See Reporting events.
5. Door 4 with real money is locked. There is no way to deposit real money into an operator's vault.

Read the doors#

GET /torii/doors (open, no key). MCP torii_doors (read-only) returns the same list.

{
  "doors": [
    {"id": "bring_your_bot", "title": "Bring your own bot", "status": "testnet",
     "what_you_need": "An AI agent or script with an agent key, and a few dollars of USDC you are willing to let it use.",
     "note": "Mandates and their vault run on Base Sepolia; the HL leg trades the owner's own Hyperliquid testnet account. No real money.",

  ],
  "note": "Door 4 real money is locked. Door 2 adoption gives a draft for a test venue."
}

Each door also carries note and next_href (shortened above). The status is read from the host's switches at the moment of the call, so read it instead of assuming.

Door 1 is locked when the mandate door is closed on the host, testnet whenever the venue is Hyperliquid testnet or Base Sepolia, and live only on Hyperliquid mainnet with the HL leg and the live switch on. Door 3 is locked while the signal feed is off, paper while the live switch is off, testnet with the live switch on and Hyperliquid on testnet, and live only on mainnet with the live switch on. Door 2 is testnet when the house runner is configured, the HL leg is on and Hyperliquid is on testnet; otherwise it is paper and its note says why (runner not configured, or leg off). It is never live.

What each door needs#

Operators who publish the signals of door 3 follow Operators publish signals.

The shortest path: "I have money and an AI"#

Steps 1 to 4 and 6 are the owner (a signed-in person: they sign with their wallet). Steps 5 and 7 to 10 are the bot. Every route is on https://toriiwallet.com/api (the direct API host https://api.nightwatchprotocol.com serves the same paths); send the agent key as X-NW-User-Key.

Details and example bodies: Follow a signal. If you would rather not run a bot, hire the house runner: House strategy.

What is not available, plainly:

• Real money on any door. Everything is Base Sepolia and Hyperliquid testnet.
• Door 4 deposits. Door 4 shows records you can follow on paper.
• Binding the Hyperliquid account with an agent key. Only the owner's session does it.
• mandate_hl_order appears in tools/list only while the deployment runs the HL leg; with it off the tool answers like an unknown tool and the routes answer 404 tw_feature_disabled.
• A one-call "start trading" route. Each step above is its own call, and each is safe to repeat where the chapter says so.
