Question 1

What is Hyperscaled?

Accepted Answer

Hyperscaled is a permissionless funded trading platform built natively on Hyperliquid. You trade on Hyperliquid with your own wallet, and Hyperscaled evaluates your performance against a simulated funded account. Pass the challenge and you receive USDC performance rewards — automatically, onchain, every 7 days.

Question 2

Do I need to create an account?

Accepted Answer

You connect your Hyperliquid wallet at app.hyperscaled.trade. No email address, no username, no password. Your wallet is your identity.

Question 3

Which countries are eligible?

Accepted Answer

All countries. There are no geographic restrictions on participation. KYC for payouts is a simple cryptographic wallet verification — not a passport scan.

Question 4

How does the one-step challenge work?

Accepted Answer

Select an account size ($25K, $50K, or $100K), pay the one-time registration fee, and start trading on Hyperliquid. Hyperscaled reads your public trade data and mirrors it into a simulated funded account. Hit a 10% profit target while keeping your daily drawdown under 5% to pass.

Question 5

Is there a time limit to pass the challenge?

Accepted Answer

No. Take as long as you need.

Question 6

What is the daily loss limit?

Accepted Answer

Your account equity cannot drop more than 5% from the day's opening equity at any point during the trading day. The day resets at 00:00 UTC.

Question 7

What is the EOD trailing loss limit?

Accepted Answer

End-of-day account equity cannot drop more than 5% from your end-of-day high water mark.

Question 8

Can I trade during news events?

Accepted Answer

Yes. News trading is explicitly allowed with no restrictions.

Question 9

Can I trade algorithmically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Any trading strategy is permitted, including algorithmic and automated approaches.

Question 10

What happens if I breach a drawdown rule?

Accepted Answer

Your challenge is terminated immediately. You can re-register and start a new challenge at any time by paying the registration fee again.

Question 11

What changes once I'm funded?

Accepted Answer

The profit target is removed — there's no target to hit on funded accounts. Your drawdown limit increases to 8% (from 5% during the challenge). You trade in 7-day cycles and receive USDC payouts at the end of each cycle based on your realized profits.

Question 12

When and how do I get paid?

Accepted Answer

At the end of each 7-day trading cycle, your payout is calculated automatically and sent in USDC to your connected wallet. No manual request required. No withdrawal fees. Every payout is verifiable onchain.

Question 13

What is the profit split?

Accepted Answer

100%. Hyperscaled takes 0% of your profits, including on accounts scaled above $100K.

Question 14

Do I need to hit a profit target to receive payouts?

Accepted Answer

No. Once funded, you receive USDC rewards based on any realized profits during the 7-day cycle. There is no minimum profit target.

Question 15

How does account scaling work?

Accepted Answer

Consistent performance unlocks larger account sizes automatically, up to $2.5M. No application, no additional fees.

Question 16

Do I need to submit KYC documents?

Accepted Answer

No KYC is required to register or trade. KYC is required only when you receive your first payout. It is a simple cryptographic wallet verification — no passport, no proof of address, no bank details required.

Question 17

Why is KYC required for payouts?

Accepted Answer

Payout KYC is a compliance requirement for USDC distribution — specifically to ensure AML and sanctions compliance before USDC transfers to your wallet. It has no bearing on your ability to participate in the challenge or trade.

Question 18

What is Hyperscaled built on?

Accepted Answer

Hyperscaled is built natively on Hyperliquid and powered by decentralized challenge infrastructure. All payouts are in USDC and fully verifiable onchain.

Question 19

Do I need to share my API keys?

Accepted Answer

No. Hyperscaled reads your trade data from Hyperliquid's public data stream via websockets. No API keys, no custody permissions, no access to your account controls.

Question 20

Do I need to install anything?

Accepted Answer

You access your challenge dashboard at app.hyperscaled.trade. No separate software installation is required to participate.

Question 21

What perpetuals can I trade?

Accepted Answer

All perpetuals available on Hyperliquid. There are no market restrictions.

Question 22

What pairs are available to trade?

Accepted Answer

Crypto perpetuals only at launch: BTC, ETH, ADA, XRP, SOL, DOGE, TAO, HYPE, ZEC, BCH, LINK, XMR, and LTC. All available on Hyperliquid.
