Season 1 · sponsored seats

We pay the fee. You keep the account.

A sponsored seat is a $5,000 evaluation — the same Paid Challenge you'd see in the app — we paid for. Pass it and the funded account is yours — every payout it makes, at the 90% split, with no share going back to us and no way for us to take it back. There is nothing to buy and nothing to repay.

What you are actually being offered

A real mainnet account

Not a demo and not testnet. The seat is created by a transaction on HyperEVM, at the same $5,000 size, under the same contract, with the same 10% target as anybody who paid for theirs. The rules are written into the contract when the account is created and nothing can edit them afterwards, including us.

Nothing is asked of you

No deposit, no token approval, no signature to receive it. We call the function, and the account appears at your address already yours. You'll need a little HYPE in your wallet to cover gas once you start trading — that's the one cost that's actually yours.

What we get out of it

Your account becomes a public record we will point people at. We would rather say that plainly than have you wonder where the catch is.

How we choose

Selection is discretionary — meeting these doesn't guarantee a seat.

01

A Hyperliquid address with a real trading record

We look it up on the public API before we decide. We are not screening for the biggest account or the best year — we are screening for someone who actually trades, because that is what predicts the seat getting used.
02

The seat is created at that same address

Hyperliquid and HyperEVM share an address space, so the account we fund is the one whose record you sent us. Sending someone else’s address gives them the seat, not you. That is the whole verification step, and it is why we do not ask you to prove anything.
03

You can start inside the window

The 30-day clock starts when we create the account and there is no cancel on mainnet, so a seat nobody trades blocks someone else from getting it for a month. Tell us honestly when you can start; "later this season" is a real answer and does not count against you.

What we do not screen on: follower count, how much you have made, or whether you have traded a prop challenge before. If you have never passed one, that is not a mark against you here — it is most of the reason this exists.

Applications are not open yet

Three things have to be true before we start giving away accounts, and two of them are not yet.

The contracts have a real security review. Multi-agent AI audit, not a licensed firm — we say so here the same as we do on the scorecard. We are not sponsoring strangers into code nobody has tried to break, and you should not accept a seat in code nobody has.
The vault is funded, with our own money first. A pool that cannot pay a winner is not an opportunity, it is a liability with a marketing page.
A real payout has executed on mainnet. We are testing that path with our own capital before anyone else's time goes into it.

When those are done, this page grows a form and the dates go up with it — the day applications close, the day offers go out, and the day silence means no. The seat ledger above stays where it is either way, and it fills up in public.

Before you apply

The clock is real. Thirty days from the moment we create the account, whether you trade or not, and mainnet has no cancel function — not for you and not for us. If your plans change, tell us and we will offer the seat to somebody else.
Payouts come from a shared pool. Nothing is reserved for your account, and the balance is public precisely so you can judge that for yourself rather than take our word for it. Nobody can honestly promise the money will be there, and a firm that does is telling you something it cannot know.
Your stop-losses are not on-chain orders. Limit, take-profit and stop orders are submitted by a service we run when the price triggers. It has been late before. Size your risk on that basis, not on the belief that the contract is holding your stop.
We keep no share of what you make, and we get something anyway: the fee lands in the LP pool like any other, and your account becomes a public record we will point people at. That is the trade. It is not charity and we would rather say so.
