General

Hypernova is an on-chain prop trading protocol. We fund skilled traders with up to $300k in total initial capital across accounts and let them keep up to 80% of profits. Payouts settle in ~5 seconds via smart contract and are verifiable on-chain, and all rules are transparent.
On-chain payouts in ~5 seconds via smart contract - versus the 24+ hours traditional firms take. A publicly verifiable payout reserve, pro-grade trading infrastructure built in-house, and fills priced against live Hyperliquid market data. Transparent and trader-aligned.
While anyone can sign up, Hypernova is designed for traders who already have a strategy and edge. You’ll need to pass an assessment by hitting a 9% or 10% profit target, depending on your plan, within defined risk limits.

Assessments

Assessment fees start at $25 and depend on account size ($5k–$200k) and plan. See the current plan comparison on the Starting an Assessment page.
The assessment ends and you’ll need to purchase a new one to try again. There’s no penalty beyond the original fee. No resets, no partial passes.
Yes. You may have up to two ongoing Assessments at a time. For self-service purchases, active Assessment and Funded accounts share a $300,000 limit in combined starting capital. Demo accounts do not count toward these limits. See the account limits for details.
No. You can pass the assessment in a single session or spread it over months. The only constraint is a 3-month inactivity freeze if no trades are placed.

Payouts

Submit a payout from your funded account dashboard. The smart contract settles it on-chain in about 5 seconds - measured from your request to USDC landing in your embedded wallet on Arbitrum. Traditional firms take 24+ hours for the same thing.
Up to 80%. You keep the majority of profits generated on your funded account.
Anytime. There are no waiting periods, no minimum intervals, and no business-hours restrictions.
Yes - during closed alpha, payouts are capped at $10,000 of profits per day per user. There’s no per-transaction minimum and you can still take multiple payouts in a day, but the running total can’t exceed the cap. The limit will be lifted as we scale out of alpha.

Identity verification

Yes - before your funded account is activated. You don’t need to verify to sign up, fund your wallet, or take an assessment. You can verify any time from Settings → Payouts.
A valid government-issued photo ID - passport, national ID card, driving licence, or residence permit - and a device with a camera for a quick selfie. You must be 18 or over.
Most checks finish within a few minutes. Some need a manual review, which can take longer.
Verification is handled by Sumsub, our identity verification provider. Hypernova doesn’t store your identity documents - we receive the result of the check.
If it’s something you can fix, like a blurry photo or an expired document, you can try again from Settings → Payouts. If we can’t verify you, use Contact support on the same screen.
We can’t verify identity documents issued by Cuba, Iran, North Korea, or Syria. Hypernova isn’t available in restricted jurisdictions - see section 14 of the Terms of Use.

Account & Security

When you create a Hypernova account, we automatically generate a secure wallet for you. No MetaMask or browser extensions needed. Your wallet is built into the platform and is used for assessment payments and receiving payouts.
Send USDC to your wallet address over the Arbitrum network. You can do this from any exchange (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken) or DeFi wallet. See the Funding Your Wallet page for details.
Yes. During onboarding you can connect your CEX or DEX accounts via wallet or API. Your trading history is analysed to generate a score. Eligible traders may receive free or discounted assessments.
