The vault of vaults: what we're building next

Following the Index is a manual job today. The fix is a vault you deposit into once that follows the Index for you — rotating, respecting capacity, one fee. What it'll be, and the audit gate before it ever holds a dollar.

Altcopy Index vs. Hyperliquid's official vault page

Hyperliquid's official page is where you deposit. It's a trap for deciding. Three vaults that look great there — and what the leaderboard says about each. Use both, for different things.

If you want to invest more than $1M, here's how the Altcopy Index behaves today

Most 'best vault' advice assumes you have a few thousand dollars. At real size, the question flips from which vault is best to which vault can even hold your money. Here's what the Index can absorb today — and why, past about $1M, it becomes mostly one vault.

Income, Balanced, Aggressive: read the leaderboard through your own eyes

The same vault is right for one investor and wrong for another. How the Income, Balanced, and Aggressive fit scores work — and how to use them to build your own basket by hand.

What we measure on a vault, and what it actually means

TVL, drawdown, Calmar, gross leverage, leader stake — every column on the vault leaderboard in plain English, and the trap each one is built to catch.

How the Altcopy Index works

The Altcopy Index is a mechanical, rules-based basket of Hyperliquid's strongest investable vaults. The membership rule, the 40% whale cap, how to follow it by hand today — and the vault of vaults coming next.

The Hyperliquid vault leaderboard, and why the official list isn't enough

Hyperliquid's official vault list ranks by a flattering APR and sweeps the graveyard off the page. Here's the leaderboard I built instead — every number recomputed from public data, nothing taken on faith.

The survivors nobody talks about: two of Hyperliquid's oldest vaults

Age is the cheapest filter in vault-picking. Two of Hyperliquid's oldest vaults — one running 2.6 years — survived 48% drawdowns and came back. But one now sits in cash and the other is an underwater long with a 77% whale. Longevity buys a look, not a deposit.

Skin in the game, tested: when the manager's own money still isn't enough

Three Hyperliquid vaults where the manager holds 42–62% of their own fund — far above the 5% floor — and results from −30% to +56% a year. The cleanest test there is of whether “skin in the game” means anything. It proves conviction, not competence.

Is anyone else doing this? Hyperliquid vaults vs. the alternatives

Copy trading, on-chain managed funds, “house” liquidity pools, Drift's vaults — what's actually comparable to a Hyperliquid vault, and what's genuinely one-of-a-kind. With a side-by-side table, and why the closest peer just lost $285M.
