The vault screener toolbox — part 1: the native Hyperliquid page (your baseline)

Before any third-party tool, there's the source of truth: Hyperliquid's own vaults page. It's free, complete, and canonical — and it's exactly why a curation layer like Altcopy's needs to exist on top of it.

Two leaderboards — part 5: from a leaderboard to a single holding

A leaderboard helps you choose; the last step is turning the choice into a holding. That's the Altcopy Index — a mechanical, monitored, curated basket. The finale of the series, with the honest capacity truth.

Two leaderboards — part 4: the benchmark and the graveyard

Two things the native board quietly mixes into one list distort how you read it: the protocol's own house vault, and the survivorship of the vaults that already died. Our board separates both.

Two leaderboards — part 3: 'for whom?' — investor profiles and the Fit score

The native leaderboard sorts one way for everyone — a retiree and a degenerate see the same ranking. But there's no universal best vault, only the right fit. That's the idea our board is built around.

Two leaderboards — part 2: the honesty flags the native board doesn't show

The native leaderboard prints every number at face value. The single biggest thing our board does is refuse to. Dormant vaults, tiny-base artifacts, funded illusions — the flags that separate a real number from a mirage.

Two leaderboards, two philosophies: Hyperliquid's vs. Altcopy's

Hyperliquid has a vaults leaderboard. We built a second one on top of it. They look alike and do opposite things — one mirrors the venue, the other curates it. A series on the difference, dimension by dimension.

The vault market is still green — and tracking it is the proof

Hyperliquid shows your stake inside each vault — but there's no native panel that aggregates all your vault deposits into one view. That tracking gap is a sign of how young the market is. Here's an honest map of the third-party trackers that help today, and how to use them safely.

Free accounts, manufactured stars: how CEX copy trading got toxic — and the $10,000 filter

On a CEX, accounts are free — so a bad actor can spin up 50, gamble, and promote the lucky survivor as a “star.” Unauditable metrics and misaligned incentives do the rest. Here's the toxic engine in detail, and why Hyperliquid's $10,000 vault fee quietly breaks it.

You enter the trades, or you inherit the portfolio — why a vault isn't a quick flip

Copy trading lets you enter trades near the leader's entry points. A vault drops you into a portfolio already in motion — positions mid-flight, maybe past their best. That's why you shouldn't flip a vault: hold long enough to capture a representative slice of the strategy, not a random snapshot.

DEX by DEX, part 5 — Aevo: the options vault, a different animal

Aevo's vaults aren't about following a trader or being the perp house — they sell options to earn premium. That's a third category, and it comes with a hidden shape: short convexity. Smooth income, until it isn't.
