Automated trading across leading perp DEXs
Connect Arcus, Lighter, dYdX, Hyperliquid and Aster to run Grid, DCA, Copy and TradingView bots from one dashboard, plus the market maker on Arcus, Lighter and Aster. Coinner only places and cancels orders, so your funds remain in your exchange accounts.
How to choose a perp DEX
The five supported venues run perpetual futures with self-custody. Grid, DCA, copy and TradingView bots run on all of them; the market maker needs post-only orders and a dead man's switch, so it runs on Arcus, Lighter and Aster. The choice then comes down to which markets you want, how you grant access, what the fees look like at your volume, and how open-order limits are enforced.

Markets. Arcus offers single-stock and ETF perpetuals alongside crypto, available around the clock. Lighter, also on Robinhood Chain, lists crypto, stock, ETF, pre-IPO and metal perpetuals around the clock, with zero fees on Standard accounts. dYdX focuses on crypto plus permissionlessly listed commodity, equity and FX markets. Hyperliquid combines core crypto markets with builder-deployed HIP-3 perpetuals. Aster spans crypto, stock and forex perpetuals on its order-book platform.
Access. Arcus and dYdX use trade-only API keys; Hyperliquid and Aster use a trade-only agent you approve with a wallet signature. None of them can withdraw. Lighter uses an API key you register with a wallet signature; it can only withdraw back to your own wallet, and Coinner never asks it to. Whichever you pick, your funds stay in your own account and Coinner only places and cancels orders.
Order limits. dYdX scales the exchange-level open-order budget with account equity. Lighter Standard accounts allow 30 open orders per market. Other venues and Coinner apply their own account or bot limits. Review the selected venue's current limits and the capital requirement shown before launching a dense grid.

You do not have to pick just one
One Coinner account connects to every venue at once, so you can run a grid bot on one and copy a trader on another, and compare results from a single dashboard. Bots are free to run on all of them: Coinner earns through exchange fee shares and referrals instead of charging a subscription.
