Before you put up an entry fee.

No. Positions are synthetic and the contract floors your margin at zero, so your entry fee is the most you can lose. There is no top-up and no liability beyond what you paid to join.

No. Your positions are synthetic and never touch the live order book. They are priced off the HyperCore mark precompile, the same on-chain price feed for every player.

The immutable contract holds it. Entry fees accumulate in the pot on-chain, not with us. Winners claim directly from the contract once the tournament settles.

After the tournament ends and settles. Claiming opens at the settle deadline and only if your terminal equity ranks top-K.

You pay gas in HYPE, the native token of HyperEVM. The entry fee is paid in USDC; gas for joining, trading and claiming is paid separately in HYPE.

Yes. Creating a league is permissionless. Any address can create one and becomes the creator, earning the creator share when the tournament starts with enough players.

By terminal equity: your virtual balance plus open-position value at the close, read from the contract. Higher equity ranks higher; ties break by who joined first. The leaderboard is deterministic and identical for everyone.

A 10% rake comes off the pot (8% protocol, 2% creator); the remaining 90% is the net pot. It’s split across the top-K finishers by a prize curve that is fixed when the league is created.

HyperLeague Identity is a soul-bound token minted when you claim a win. It can’t be transferred or sold; it’s an on-chain record designed to build into a tier ladder (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond) as you keep performing. The ladder is not implemented yet; today the token records the finish.

Vaults are opt-in and separate from tournament entry. A vault deposit backs a manager’s strategy, so its value can go down as well as up. Unlike a tournament entry, a vault deposit is not loss-capped. Read each vault’s terms before depositing.

Anyone with a wallet on HyperEVM. You need USDC for the entry fee and HYPE for gas. Some private leagues restrict entry to an allowlist set by their creator; public leagues are open to all.

Not on this deployment. The product is built on the v2 line, is not yet audited, and is outside MVP scope. It opens after audit and go-live — you cannot buy an eval or request a payout here today.

A limited-wave evaluation: pay a one-time USDC fee for a simulated account, hit the profit target without breaching drawdown rules, then activate a SIM-funded stage with real USDC payout rules. After required payouts and verification, a LIVE vault path may open when legally and technically enabled.

Each tier freezes its own profit target, max loss limit, daily loss limit, and consistency share. Numbers live on the tier card when the product is live — they are not fixed across all accounts.

Tournaments are permissionless pot contests with a hardcoded rake and immutable settlement. Funded accounts are a separate companion line with operator roles for integrity and payouts. The MVP arena is unchanged.

Not on this deployment. The companion is built on the v2 line, is not yet audited, and is outside MVP scope. It opens after audit and go-live — you cannot start a run here today.

Ten floors of short mark predictions. Commit close-above or close-below for a floor window; resolve against HyperCore marks on-chain. Clear floors for soft prizes and milestones. No settlement cron.

Predictions settle on the same HyperCore mark precompile HyperLeague tournaments use. Soft prize tokens and streak multipliers are product rules — details ship with the live companion.
