# Accessing Ventuals

The Ventuals app is a frontend interface to perpetual futures markets deployed on [Hyperliquid](https://hl.xyz). All trades execute on Hyperliquid's decentralized exchange infrastructure.

## Wallet Requirements

You can connect to the Ventuals app with a self-custodial wallet. You control your wallet's private keys at all times – Ventuals never has access to your funds.

#### Option 1: Create a Wallet with Privy using Email

If you don't already have a wallet, Ventuals uses [Privy](https://privy.io) to let you create one instantly using your email.

With Privy, your wallet keys are encrypted and stored securely, allowing you to sign trades without worrying about managing seed phrases yourself.

#### Option 2: Connect Your Own Wallet

If you already use a wallet like Phantom, Rabby, MetaMask, you can connect it to the Ventuals app and start trading using your existing funds.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ventuals.com/getting-started/accessing-ventuals.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
