Does it cost anything to try?
No. If you hold 10,000 $HELIOS, you can start the evaluation for free. We don't sell challenges, and we don't make money when you fail. The creator fees cover everything.
So where does the money come from?
From people trading $HELIOS. Every buy and sell pays a small creator fee, and all of it goes into the Helios treasury. It's a public wallet, so you can check the balance yourself whenever you like. That's the money we fund traders with.
Am I trading real money during the evaluation?
Not yet. The Evaluation and Funded stages use a practice balance, but the prices are live, so it behaves like the real thing. You only touch real money once you reach the Live stage.
What am I allowed to trade?
Any coin launched on pump.fun, whether it's brand new on the bonding curve or has already migrated. The one exception is $HELIOS itself. Trading the token that funds you would be a conflict, so it's off limits.
How big are the accounts?
Up to $500 right now. We know that isn't huge. It's what the treasury can honestly support today, and it will grow as the treasury does.
How do I get paid?
Every 14 days we send you 80% of your profit in USDC, straight to your wallet. The minimum is $25. If you're under that, it rolls into the next payout.
What if I sell some of my tokens?
Your account pauses. It doesn't fail. You can still sell while it's paused, and the clock on your stage stops. Buy back up to 10,000 and you carry on where you left off.
I blew the evaluation. Can I go again?
Of course. Wait 7 days, then start fresh. There's no limit on how many times you can try. Everyone has a bad week.
