We are getting closer.
Closer to opening Hyperprop.
Closer to closed beta.
Closer to putting the platform in front of real traders.
And before that moment, we’re starting somewhere else.
Not with execution.
With identity.
Preparing before things go live
Most platforms wait until everything is ready.
Then they open the doors.
We’re doing the opposite.
In the lead-up to closed beta, we’re already onboarding users. Not into the full product yet, but into the environment around it.
Because what makes a platform valuable isn’t just what’s built.
It’s who’s inside it.
Starting with the profile
So instead of waiting for everything to be finished, we’re opening the first piece now.
Profiles.
You can already create one and claim your username.
It’s a small step, but it sets the foundation for what comes next. A place where traders can actually build something around their activity, instead of starting from zero every time.
The first 5000 users who claim their username will receive a Legacy badge.
Nothing complicated.
Just a way to recognize the people who were early.
What that actually means
As we move into closed beta, these early profiles move with us.
You’ll get access to features earlier.
You’ll see things before they’re rolled out more broadly.
And we’ll reach out when we need input from people actually using the product.
Because that’s how we want to build this.
A different kind of profile
This isn’t meant to be a social feed.
No noise. No vanity metrics.
The idea is simple.
A profile where you can choose to show what you’re actually good at.
Where performance is structured.
And where what’s visible is verified.
You decide what stays private.
You decide what you share.
But whatever you put out there should hold up.
Transparency is not one-sided
A lot of the conversation in this space is about platform transparency.
Which makes sense.
But it’s only half the picture.
If the infrastructure is clean, but everything on top of it is still fragmented, nothing really improves.
Clarity has to exist on both sides.
Where things break today
Prop trading doesn’t really have a shared standard for traders.
Everyone operates in their own bubble.
Results are hard to compare.
Performance is easy to misinterpret.
And most of what you see can’t be verified anyway.
So people fall back on fragments.
Screenshots.
Statements.
Selective highlights.
That’s not a trader problem.
That’s a design problem.
What comes later
There will be more layers.
Leaderboards.
Comparisons.
Competitive elements.
We’re exploring all of that.
But carefully.
Because the goal isn’t to turn trading into something noisy or distracting. If anything, we’re trying to remove that.
Everything we add has to support focus, not break it.
Claim your username
Usernames are now available.
The first 5000 profiles will carry the Legacy badge and get early access as we move forward.
Simple as that.
We’ll share more as we get closer to closed beta.
For now, this is the first social layer.
