Most connection failures come from the wrong account, a blocked wallet prompt, a stale WalletConnect session, or an authorization that needs renewal.
Wrong account selected
- Compare the complete address in Hyperliquid with the address selected in the wallet.
- Disconnect FiatBear from the wallet session.
- Switch to the correct account inside the wallet.
- Reconnect and verify the address before signing.
Wallet prompt does not appear
- Open the wallet extension or app directly. A request can be waiting behind the browser.
- Allow popups for the FiatBear application.
- Keep only one connection attempt open.
- Unlock the wallet before retrying.
- Disable another wallet extension temporarily if both are trying to handle the same request.
WalletConnect session is stale
- Cancel the current FiatBear connection attempt.
- Remove the FiatBear session from the wallet app's connected-app list.
- Refresh FiatBear and generate a new QR code.
- Scan using the connection scanner inside the wallet app.
- Keep the wallet unlocked until both authorization prompts are complete.
Signature was rejected
A rejection leaves that step incomplete. Reopen the flow and read the prompt. The agent authorization and builder-fee approval are separate, so completing one does not complete the other.
If the prompt shows an unexpected account, builder, rate, or action, reject it and investigate instead of retrying blindly.
Agent expired or became invalid
- Open Settings > Exchanges.
- Use the renewal or reconnect action on the Hyperliquid connection.
- Sign with the user wallet that owns the displayed account.
- Wait for FiatBear to validate the new agent.
- Confirm the builder-fee state is also healthy.
Email-created Hyperliquid account
If there is no compatible wallet available to sign, follow Hyperliquid's official email-wallet export procedure. Import it into a trusted wallet and verify that its complete address matches Hyperliquid. Never enter the exported private key into FiatBear.
Connection saved but not available on a trader
- Refresh Settings > Traders after the connection completes.
- Confirm the exchange connection is enabled and not reporting an authorization problem.
- Confirm you are editing the intended FiatBear account.
- If the connection still does not appear, reconnect it before changing trader settings.
