Pricing
One membership fee, then a choice: run Archon yourself for nothing more, or have us run it for you. Every payment is a transaction you send and anyone can check.

01Over a year
The longer the pack, the less a year of hosting costs: $600 paid monthly, $560 in 6-month packs, $500 paid yearly.
| Plan | First year | Each year after |
|---|---|---|
| Self-hosted | $500 | $0 |

| Hosted, paid every 6 months | $1,060 | $560 |
| Hosted, paid yearly | $1,000 | $500 |
02When a hosted plan ends
The dashboard shows the date your plan is paid to, and reminds you to renew as that date comes closer.
Archon stops opening new positions. Everything already held keeps being managed, and the halt still applies.
Each held position is sold when the rule says to exit, exactly as it would have been. Once nothing is left open, Archon deletes your API wallet key.
Pay for another period. If your key is still held, new positions resume at the next 4-hour close; if it was deleted, connect a new one.
03Other costs
Charged by Hyperliquid on every fill, on its own published schedule. Our tests charge 5 bps a side to account for them.
Perpetuals pay or receive funding every hour while a position is open. Longs usually pay. None of our published results include it.
On mainnet, once you approve it on Hyperliquid, each order carries a builder fee of up to 1 bp (0.01%) of its value, paid to Archon. Until you approve it, it is zero. Never on testnet.
04How paying works
securepath.eth. If your wallet cannot pay from the page, you can send it yourself and paste the transaction hash.No. Crypto payments cannot be pulled from your wallet, and we do not want them to be. You send each payment yourself, for one, six or twelve months, and the dashboard reminds you before the paid period ends.
You already hold them to trade on Hyperliquid, and a payment on Ethereum or Arbitrum One can be checked by anyone, including you, without trusting us.
Yes. Early access covers both. If you stop hosting, the plan simply runs to its end date, and you can run the same engine yourself from then on.
No. You pay from any wallet you sign in with, on Ethereum or Arbitrum One. Your Hyperliquid balance is never touched to pay Archon, apart from the builder fee on orders if you approve it.
