Connect a wallet

Any EVM wallet on HyperEVM.
2

Hold USDC for B + P

The activation charge is the buffer B plus the premium P. There is no separate deposit and nothing to register.
3

Activate the account

One call opens the account for your trader, and whoever paid is recorded as its builder. Funding yourself is the same call with your own address as the trader.

​
Your buffer

The first loss is the buffer B. There is no separate builder deposit, and LP shares play no part in it.
  • You post a buffer, the account’s prepaid drawdown. The unused part is returned when it closes.
  • A loss larger than B lands on the LP vault as reserveDeficit, not on you.
  • Depositing into the LP vault is optional. Shares earn and lose across the whole pool, and they neither grant nor withdraw your ability to fund traders.
  • The premium P is charged on every activation and is not returned.
B is your capital at risk. If your trader gives back the account’s designed drawdown, you lose the buffer.

​
Onboarding a trader

The account is issued to the trader’s EVM address on HyperEVM. On the Proportion frontend they pay no gas and need no HYPE: every operation is relayed for them, and the only things they sign are their own requests, a withdrawal or a close. That keeps your product simple. The trader pays for whatever selection you run, passes it, and receives an account, without having to understand gas, wallets or signing.
