Avail has launched ShieldTX, a privacy tool designed to limit the impact of copy-trading bots on Hyperliquid. According to research presented with the tool, copy-trading activity cost top traders on the platform a median of 63 basis points per trade over a 30-day period.
ShieldTX operates by isolating perpetual trading positions across separate wallets, creating structural barriers that complicate bot replication of trades. The mechanism targets the slippage and execution disadvantages that emerge when automated systems mirror transactions from high-performing traders in real time on the Hyperliquid platform.
The tool addresses a measurable friction point in the ecosystem, though broader adoption and long-term effectiveness remain uncertain. Questions persist around whether wallet segmentation alone can outpace evolving copy-trading algorithms, and what proportion of Hyperliquid traders will integrate the system into their workflow.
