ShieldTX Airdrop: tasks and status

updated 05 Nov 2026

ShieldTX is a privacy gateway for trading perpetual futures on Hyperliquid. You deposit USDC on Arbitrum and trade through the ShieldTX app while keeping your funding wallet separate from your trading accounts. The project may launch a points program later and reward early traders retroactively.

Privacy

About the project

What ShieldTX is

ShieldTX is a privacy-focused trading gateway for perpetual futures on Hyperliquid. It separates your funding wallet from your trading accounts by creating a fresh account for each trade. This reduces the public links between your deposits and your trading positions.

The platform runs on Arbitrum and is built using privacy infrastructure from Avail. Orders execute on Hyperliquid's order book, and proceeds return to your ShieldTX balance after settlement.

How it works

You start by joining the waitlist and receiving an invite code. The first cohort has 500 spots. After you join, you deposit USDC into an on-chain vault on Arbitrum through the ShieldTX app.

Once you have a balance, you select an asset, set trade parameters, and start trading. Your positions are managed through the ShieldTX app. When you want to withdraw, you sign a request to move funds back to your wallet.

Airdrop and early trader rewards

ShieldTX has announced that it may launch a points program in the future. If it does, the project could distribute retroactive points to early traders based on their trading volume and activity.

No terms have been published yet for how points would be calculated, what they would be used for, or when they would be distributed. Trading early is not a guarantee of rewards.

What it takes

The estimated cost is $50 and the time about 18 minutes for the initial setup. You need a wallet on Arbitrum and USDC to deposit. Actual trading takes longer and costs depend on your activity.

This suits traders who are comfortable with perpetual futures, deposits, and who value privacy in their trading. Note that trading involves the full range of risks that come with leverage and derivatives.

Risks and what to watch for

  • Rewards are not guaranteed: the team has not announced a points program or any terms for retroactive airdrop distribution.
  • The rules for any future points program can change at any time.
  • Trading perpetual futures with leverage can result in the loss of your entire deposit.
  • Smart contract bugs or security issues in the platform could put deposited funds at risk.

Frequently asked questions

Is ShieldTX free to use?

ShieldTX itself has no stated fee for the waitlist and setup. However, you must deposit at least $50 in USDC to start trading, and trading on perpetual futures exchanges involves platform fees and the cost of any losses from trading itself.

What is the airdrop reward?

No airdrop has been announced yet. The project has said that a points program may launch in the future and that early traders could receive a boost in retroactive points distribution if it does. This is not guaranteed.

Which network does it run on?

ShieldTX runs on Arbitrum. You deposit USDC on Arbitrum and execute trades on Hyperliquid's order book.

How is this different from trading on Hyperliquid directly?

ShieldTX adds a privacy layer by separating your funding wallet from your trading accounts. Each trade uses a fresh account on Hyperliquid, which reduces the public connection between your deposits and your positions.

Are my funds safe?

Your USDC is deposited into an on-chain vault on Arbitrum. Like any smart contract, the vault could contain bugs or security issues. Trading perpetual futures also carries the full risk of losing your deposit to losses on leveraged positions.
