Profit in your best setups and get paid without waiting for a payout date.
Payouts
Funded accounts can withdraw instantly from a single trade’s profit. Funds arrive in 6.1 seconds on average.
Evaluation
Targets of 9% for Tight and 10% for Low / Medium. No minimum trading days or time limit.
Trading conditions
No consistency rule. News trading and weekend holding are OK.
Even if profits concentrate on particular days, you don’t need extra trades to dilute that share. You don’t need to fill days to pass either. These conditions suit people who want to focus on a few opportunities and finish the evaluation without trading more.

Reserve top-up history
Since August, the Payout Vault has been topped up to $1 million three times.
Each top-up was announced on the official X account, and a USDC deposit to the reserve wallet on the same day is recorded on Arbitrum. Anyone can check the sender and time.
Scroll the table sideways →
| Date | Top-up amount | Official X announcement | On-chain record |
|---|---|---|---|
| August 17, 2026 | 260,395 USDC | “Payout Vault topped up to $1,000,000.” | 16:33 deposit to the reserve wallet Tx 0x608cc780…5bb573 |
| September 11, 2026 | 440,000 USDC | “$440,000 added. Our third top-up.” | 15:43 deposit to the reserve wallet Tx 0x25180984…c32d042a |
| October 7, 2026 | 680,000 USDC | “$680,000 added. Our largest top-up to date.” | 17:37 deposit to the reserve wallet Tx 0x6f90ee55…4d9d12ff |
The August 17 announcement does not state the amount, so the figure is the value of the on-chain deposit. The reserve wallet is the address listed on the official Smart Contract page (0x43c5…da07).

Costs and order handling for perpetual futures.
What you trade are “Perps,” futures-style products with no expiry. Besides crypto, there are instruments referencing stocks, indices and commodities. You don’t receive the underlying. Check the quantity units and trading hours before using them.
No added fee markup of its own. Also check holding costs.
Trading fees differ by instrument group and maker / taker, and are calculated per fill as “quantity × fill price × rate.” Limit orders that fill immediately are also taker. Check funding payments, spreads and slippage separately from trading fees.
Prices, order book data and funding rates use Hyperliquid data. Orders are filled by Hypernova’s own engine and are not routed to Hyperliquid.

Quantity and trading costs by instrument
Check the quantity and notional value for each instrument you order.
Don’t enter FX/CFD lot sizes as they are; convert them to the instrument’s quantity using your current broker’s contract specs.
Scroll the table sideways →
| Instrument | Reference condition → quantity | Approximate notional |
|---|---|---|
| GOLD | If 1 LOT = 100 oz at your FX broker 0.1 LOT equivalent = 10 oz | 10 × GOLD price at order time |
| BTCUSD | If 1 LOT = 1 BTC at your broker 0.1 LOT equivalent = 0.1 BTC | 0.1 × BTCUSD price at order time |
| HYPE | No common lot conversion is set e.g. 10 HYPE | 10 × HYPE price at order time |
The GOLD and BTCUSD contract units are examples assuming a reference broker, not a Hypernova-wide “1 LOT” spec. Check units, quantity and notional on the order screen.
The fee table also scrolls sideways →
| Example instrument | maker / taker | New market order, $10,000 notional |
|---|---|---|
| BTCUSD · HYPE | 0.01% / 0.04% | about $4 |
| GOLD | 0% / 0.005% | about $0.50 |
If you also close at market with the same notional and rate, the round trip is about $8 and about $1 respectively. In practice it varies with fill price, quantity, maker / taker and the applicable rate. Check spreads, slippage and funding separately from fees.
You can use the charts you are used to for analysis. Before ordering, check the price on the trading screen and the price used to trigger your SL; if you widen the SL, reduce the quantity to keep the planned loss the same.

Three 100K plans. Choose by entry fee and loss limits.
Scroll the table sideways to see “100K cost” →
| 1STEP | Profit target / daily loss / max loss | 100K cost |
|---|---|---|
| Tight Risk | 9% / 3% / 3% | $400 |
| Low Risk | 10% / 3% / 6% | $999 |
| Medium Risk | 10% / 4% / 7% | $1,350 |
Low has twice Tight’s maximum loss limit, but the same 3% daily. Medium is 4% daily and 7% maximum.
Maximum loss limits range from $3,000 to $7,000.
Between Tight at $400 and Low at $999, the entry fee differs by $599. In return, the maximum loss limit is $3,000 for Tight and $6,000 for Low. Low’s maximum loss limit is twice Tight’s. However, the daily limit is 3% for both.
The maximum loss line is fixed from the initial balance and does not rise as profits grow. You also need to keep within the daily limit.

There are some restrictions on strategies and the number of accounts.
Watch out for external signals and changing strategy after the evaluation
There are restrictions on third-party copying and signals, hedging between accounts, and major strategy changes from evaluation to funded account. For your own bots too, check conditions such as using them on a single account of your own.
Multiple accounts and loss checks
The combined limit for evaluation and funded accounts is 300K, with up to 2 evaluations running at once. The daily limit is calculated from the balance at 00:00 UTC and monitored on equity including floating P&L. Reaching a limit is treated as a failure, so leave room before the boundary.
You can wait for your best setups, and receive qualifying profits without waiting for a payout date. It suits people who value this combination. But don’t choose a plan on the entry fee alone; first check whether your usual stop losses and losing streaks fit within the loss limits.
