// $HYDRA · Access & fee tiers

Size it.
Sit on it.

$HYDRA is the key. Your Conviction Score sets your beta seat rank, your fee tier and your cut of the holder pool. It only counts your lowest balance over 7 days.

Buying in for a day doesn't move your score. Holding does.

// The score

Every score
on one grid

Size points come from your lowest balance over the past 7 days. The time multiplier comes from how long you have held 1M or more. Multiply them. 15 is the ceiling.

Size 7–13d · 1x 14–29d · 2x 30d+ · 3x

Qualify: hold 1M+ $HYDRA for 7 days. Under that, there is no score.

Size is your 7-day low: 1M = 1 point, 2.5M = 2, 5M = 3, 10M = 4, 20M+ = 5.

Time is 1x from day 7, 2x from day 14, 3x from day 30.

Snapshots for ongoing tiers run daily at random, unannounced times. Round 1 closes at the published cutoff, and the 7-day low makes a late buy worthless.

// Fee tiers

Hold longer.
Your Hydra pays less.

Your Conviction Score cuts the fee on every leg your Hydra trades, from beta open. Up to 10% off, and the saving grows with every trade. A lower fee, not a payout.

Fees on that volume across both legs. Every tier can trade, and your score also ranks your beta seat.

// What a trade costs

1% in.
1% out.

The fee is charged on trade size, on the buy and on the sell. Most of it runs your Hydra's AI. The rest goes to the Hydra treasury. That's 2% per round trip before any discount.

Fee schedule Fee status --

0.60% of trade size pays for your Hydra's AI: the scouts, the calls, the inference. It is fixed, whatever your tier.

Your discount comes out of the treasury share (the gold sliver), never out of the AI that trades for you.

Pilot and Elder discounts and the fixed 0.60% AI share apply from beta open. The AI share is capped at $10 a day per account. Unused budget carries over for up to 7 days ($70). Anything above the cap goes to the treasury. Solana network, priority and slippage costs are separate.

// Holder pool · after beta

Agents pay.
Holders share.

After beta, other AI agents can pay to use the Hydra skill over x402. Once that revenue clears its costs and two gates, a quarter of it goes to $HYDRA holders every month. It has not started, it can pay nothing for months, and it is not a yield. Here is exactly when it starts.

Holder pool rules Not started

x402 net = gross x402 revenue − inference − RPC − facilitator fees, per calendar month

Gate 01$500 / month

x402 net must reach at least $500 in a month.

Not met yet
Gate 02$1.2K reserve

Three months of baseline costs must already sit in reserve.

Not met yet
  • Who: wallets holding 1M+ $HYDRA for 7 days.
  • Your share: your balance, capped at 20M, × your time multiplier (1x–3x). Weighting by balance, not size points, means splitting a bag across wallets earns nothing extra.
  • When: monthly, from a snapshot taken at a random time.
  • Paid in SOL. Transaction fees come out of the pool. Amounts under $1 roll over to the next month.
  • Excluded: team and dev wallets (including the locked dev supply), LP, CEX wallets and the bonding curve.

// Beta · Round 1

Cutoff passed

Tue Oct 13, 12:00 PM PT · 19:00 UTC · --

  1. Oct 6 · 12:00 PTScoring window opens. Your 7-day low starts here.
  2. Oct 13 · 12:00 PTSnapshot cutoff. Scores are final.
  3. Wed Oct 14 · morningScore lookup opens: check any wallet by address, no connection or signing. Seat holders get a Telegram DM. Beta opens.
  • Held 1M+ since Oct 6? Then you are in the ranking. Your score uses your lowest balance from Oct 6 to Oct 13, so a buy after Oct 6 cannot qualify for Round 1.
  • Each seat is a full Hydra agent with its own scouts and its own calls, plus $50 of sponsored run budget to start.
  • One seat per person, matched to your Telegram account. The team merges linked wallets, so splitting a bag does not buy two seats.
  • More rounds follow. Round 2 is sized by what Round 1 shows.

Hydra never sends a link first. If a DM brings you a link, it is not us. We never ask for your seed phrase, and you never sign anything to get a seat.

// FAQ

Before
you ask

Can I buy right before the cutoff?

You can, but it won't help. Your size is the lowest balance over the past 7 days, so a late buy doesn't raise it. For Round 1 you need to have held 1M+ since Oct 6, 12:00 PT.

What if I dip under 1M for a moment?

Your 7-day low drops with it. Size is measured at the lowest point, and time counts the days you've held 1M or more.

Can I split my bag across wallets?

It gets you nothing. Seats are one per person, matched to your Telegram account, and the team merges linked wallets.

Do I need to connect a wallet or sign anything?

No. Scores are read from the chain. From Wed Oct 14 you can look up any score with just a wallet address. A signature is only ever needed if you dispute a result, and Hydra never DMs you a link first.

Is there a payout?

Not today. After beta, the holder pool pays 25% of x402 net once both gates are met. It can be zero for months, it is not a yield and its terms can change. Trading fees never go to holders.

Is the dev supply locked?

Yes, on Streamflow. The dev lock (also called the founder lock) is read live above, including whether it can be cancelled. Check it yourself from the links.

Is the burn the same as the holder pool?

No. The burn is 25% of $HYDRA creator fees, used to buy $HYDRA and burn it. The holder pool is 25% of x402 net. Different sources, different mechanics. Every burn is a transaction you can open on Solscan.
