Hypernova records your trading lifecycle on-chain. Your assessment account, your funded account, the rules you trade under, the agreement you sign, and every payout you take are written to public smart contracts on Arbitrum that anyone can audit. Hypernova runs the trading, risk, and settlement systems - but every account action is anchored on-chain, so you can independently verify your rules, equity, and payouts instead of taking our word for them.

​
What Lives On-Chain

Every account

Both assessment and funded accounts are created as records on the smart contract. There is no hidden ledger.

Every rule

Drawdown limits, profit targets, daily loss caps and starting balance are written into the contract when your account is created.

Every signature

Accepting your funded-trader agreement produces a cryptographic signature that is verified on-chain before your account goes active.

Every payout

Profit splits, transaction hashes, vault balances - published to the chain in real time and queryable by anyone.

​
Account Creation

When you fund your wallet and start an assessment, Hypernova opens your account and writes it to the contract on Arbitrum. The on-chain record is permanent and public - anyone can read the exact rules your account was opened under.
1

Assessment account opens

A unique on-chain account is created for your assessment. Your starting balance, profit target, daily loss limit, and max drawdown are written in at this moment.
2

Rules are recorded on-chain

The risk parameters that define your assessment - starting balance, profit target, daily loss limit, and max drawdown - are written to the contract when your account opens, so the terms you’re judged against are public and auditable from day one.
3

Pass the assessment, get a funded account

On a successful assessment, the contract opens a separate funded account record with its own identifier. Your assessment account stays in place as a permanent record.
This means anyone - you, us, a third party - can query the chain and see the exact rules your account was opened under, independently of our dashboard.

​
The Funded-Trader Agreement

Before your funded account becomes active, you sign the funded-trader agreement. The signature isn’t a checkbox in a database - it’s a cryptographic signature produced by your wallet and verified by the contract.

You sign with your wallet

The agreement text is hashed, and your wallet signs the hash. Only the holder of your wallet’s private key could have produced that signature.

The contract verifies it

Before your funded account activates, the contract checks the signature against your wallet address. A mismatch means activation fails.

The agreement hash is on-chain

The exact version of the agreement you signed is identifiable from the chain
  • we can’t show you one set of terms and apply a different set later.

Single signature, no gas for you

You sign once in-app. Hypernova sponsors the gas to record the signature on-chain.

​
Payouts on the Same Contract

Every payout is processed on-chain. The contract enforces your profit-share split and won’t release more than your earned profit, and each payout is recorded with a transaction hash. Payouts are automated - no manual approval queue. See Payouts for the user flow and Funding Your Wallet for how USDC reaches your wallet in the first place.

​
The Public Vault

The capital that backs funded accounts is held on-chain - in the Vault contract that settles payouts, topped up from a public reserve wallet. Both balances are live and queryable; see Active Addresses for the exact addresses.

Live balance

The reserve isn’t a number we publish in a quarterly report - it’s an on-chain balance you can read at any time.

Auditable history

Every top-up of the reserve and every payout out of the Vault is on-chain. The full history is permanent and reconstructable from the network.

​
Self-Custody by Default

Your Hypernova wallet is yours - the platform can’t move funds out of it without your signature. What you self-custody is your wallet: the USDC you deposit, the profit share paid to you, and any withdrawal out. The funded trading capital itself is provided by Hypernova - it isn’t deposited by you, and it isn’t held in your wallet.

No custodial model

Hypernova never holds your private keys. Every fund movement - deposit, payout, withdrawal - needs your authorisation.

Signed, then settled

Deposits, withdrawals, and payouts all follow the same pattern: you sign in-app, the network settles. Your authorisation is verifiable on-chain.

​
What This Means for You

No silent rule changes

The rules your account opened under are recorded on-chain, so any change to them is publicly visible - nothing happens off the record.

No manual approval queue

Payouts settle in seconds - no support ticket, no waiting period. The contract caps every withdrawal at your earned profit.

Independently verifiable

Don’t just trust the dashboard - read the same records on-chain and confirm them yourself.

​
See It For Yourself

The Payouts page in your dashboard shows a live feed of every smart-contract interaction tied to your accounts - not just payouts, but every on-chain event the platform makes on your behalf:
  • Account creation (assessment + funded)
  • Equity updates as you trade
  • Pass-eval transitions
  • Status changes (suspensions, breaches, settlements)
  • Payouts
Each row links straight to Arbiscan with the transaction hash, so you can verify any event independently without trusting the dashboard.

​
Active Addresses

Hypernova runs on two smart contracts, backed by one Hypernova-controlled reserve wallet. All three live on Arbitrum One and can be inspected on Arbiscan at any time.

​
Smart contracts

These enforce the rules in code. Anyone can read them, and Hypernova can’t alter your recorded rules or release more than your earned profit off-chain.
