Hypernova is a prop firm built on a smart contract. Your assessment account, your funded account, the rules you trade under, the agreement you sign, and every payout you take — all of it lives on Arbitrum, publicly verifiable. You don’t have to take our word for any of it. The chain is the source of truth.

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 creates your account directly on-chain. It’s not a database row that gets mirrored to a contract later — the contract record is the account.
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 immutable for the account's life

The risk parameters that define your assessment can’t be quietly adjusted later. Whatever the contract recorded on day one is what you’re judged against.
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. There’s no version of the rules that lives only in our internal systems.

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 by the same contract that holds your account. There’s no off-chain “we’ll review this” stage — the contract enforces your profit share, your withdrawable amount, and your drawdown protection automatically.

The Public Vault

The capital that backs every funded account sits in a single on-chain vault. Its balance is live and queryable.

Live balance

The reserve isn’t a number we publish in a quarterly report — it’s a contract balance you can read at any time.

Auditable history

Every deposit into the vault and every payout out of it 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.

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 was opened under are written in. We can’t tighten drawdown limits on you mid-assessment.

No discretionary holds

A payout isn’t a request — it’s a contract call. There’s no review stage that can stall it.

No trust required

You don’t have to trust our dashboard. Read the chain.

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.
