The capital formation layer for Hyperliquid builder markets.
February 2026
The opportunity
$32B+ traded on HIP-3
Most markets run Growth Mode — 90% reduced fees. When it ends, yield 10x's.
Growth Mode (now)
$720K/yr
Standard Mode
$7.2M/yr
HYPE market cap: ~$9B. Stakeable: ~$4B. If HYPE 5x's, our TVL 5x's. No new depositors needed.
Compost scales with Hyperliquid.

Expected 5-7% base case. 10-15% if Growth Mode ends. 2-4% floor if it persists.
We only make money when you make money. 15% performance fee on returns above staking rate. 0.5% management on HIP-3. No deposit or withdrawal fees.
Early stakers
Founding Syndicate
The deal
$10M beta vault. Whitelist only.
Founding stakers share 25% of protocol revenue for 24 months, split pro-rata by deposit.
| Protocol Revenue | Founding Pool (25%) |
|---|---|
| $350K/yr | $87K/yr |
| $1.1M/yr | $275K/yr |
| $3.5M/yr | $875K/yr |
No lock. Withdraw anytime. You keep your yield — you just forfeit future revenue share.
Early stakers take risk when yield is uncertain. They deserve upside when it scales.

The business
Protocol Revenue

Timing
Why Now
• HIP-3 is live, volume is real
• Growth Mode = low yield now, but 10x upside baked in
• HIP-4 (prediction markets, options) coming
• First mover in curated HIP-3 aggregation
• Window to build TVL before fees normalise
Early stakers are positioned for the inflection.
Disclosure
Risks
Smart contract risk (audit planned). Slashing risk. 7-14 day unstake queue. Operator decisions. Growth Mode may persist longer than expected.
Only deposit what you can afford to lose.
