HYPERSTITIONS

[ Prediction markets that manufacture reality ]

Polymarket proved markets shape outcomes. But those markets are passive observers. We’re building the active version: reflexivity becomes the core feature, weaponized to manipulate the future.

[ TL;DR ]

Hyperstitions turns prediction markets into coordination markets. Buy tokens + bet YES + take action = profit when the outcome manifests. We subsidize the NO side so coordination is always profitable. Think OlympusDAO’s (3,3) meets Polymarket.

A hyperstition isn’t a prediction. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy with intentional design.

[ The Core Loop ]

The prediction market runs on $HST. You bet with $HST, you win $HST.

01Protocol buys NO first
02YES becomes cheap
03Users buy $HST + bet YES
04Price moves up
05Target hit → YES wins
06Emissions + winnings
New cycle with higher target

> THAT’S IT. Betting YES alone doesn’t move price. But buying tokens + betting YES creates profitable arbitrage: your purchase pushes price toward target, triggers YES, you collect emissions + winnings + appreciation.

Not speculation. [ Manifestation ]

[ Key Concepts ]

> Hyperstition

(Nick Land/CCRU): Fictions that make themselves real through collective belief and action. When perception influences reality, which reinforces perception, you get self-fulfilling loops. Bitcoin is a hyperstition. People believed it had value, so it acquired value.

> Cycles

Defined periods (max 24h) where participants bet on whether a target will be reached. YES wins if target is hit and sustained for 5 cumulative minutes. NO wins if time expires. Each cycle is a complete game.

> Emissions

2% of supply distributed per cycle. The protocol uses these emissions to buy NO before anyone else, making YES cheap and coordination profitable.

> Dynamic Difficulty

Target increases +5% after each YES win. Resets to -10% after NO wins. The protocol finds its ceiling through iteration.

[ The Core Innovation: Hyperstitional Cycles ]

Traditional incentive programs fail because they’re static. A protocol offers X tokens for Y behavior, but they’re guessing at the exchange rate between capital and coordination.

Hyperstitional Cycles solve this through dynamic price discovery for incentives. The market becomes a mechanism for discovering who’s willing to coordinate and at what price.

How Cycle Economics Work

Each cycle operates as an independent market that prices coordination in real-time:

> Cycle Start

  • Protocol defines a target (price increase, TVL milestone, feature shipped)
  • Protocol buys NO with 2% of emissions before the market opens
  • Participants assess: “Is this achievable? At what cost?”

> During the Cycle

  • YES/NO prices fluctuate based on coordination momentum
  • If YES is cheap and outcome seems achievable, more buyers coordinate
  • If YES becomes expensive, marginal coordinators exit
  • Market continuously prices the probability of success

> Cycle End

  • Success: YES holders win emissions + bet winnings + appreciation
  • Failure: Protocol collects YES bets, increases next cycle’s subsidy
  • Either way: the protocol learns the true cost of that coordination

Self-Evolving Incentive Discovery

The magic is in the iteration. Each cycle generates data:

Cycle 01[YES]
Target: 50%
Subsidy: $20K
Subsidy sufficient
Cycle 02[YES]
Target: 55%
Subsidy: $22K
Can push harder
Cycle 03[NO]
Target: 60%
Subsidy: $24K
Found the ceiling
Cycle 04[YES]
Target: 45%
Subsidy: $30K
Higher subsidy works

Over time, protocols discover:

  • Minimum viable subsidy: The least capital needed to coordinate an outcome
  • Maximum achievable target: How ambitious they can be at a given subsidy level
  • Coordinator elasticity: How participation responds to emission changes

This is [ Incentive Price Discovery ] — Something that’s never existed before.

[ From Prediction to Coordination: Beyond Futarchy ]

Prediction markets assume reality is fixed and our job is to perceive it accurately. Hyperstition markets assume reality is malleable and our job is to shape it intentionally.

Traditional prediction markets have been used for information aggregation. Organizations like MetaDAO have implemented futarchy models where token holders speculate on which policy will increase token value. But traditional futarchy has a limitation: it aggregates information about outcomes without coordinating action toward them.

You might bet that “launching feature X will increase revenue,” but your bet doesn’t actually help build feature X. The market reveals what people think will work, but participants remain spectators.

Futarchy With Execution

Hyperstitions completes the circuit. It’s futarchy with execution built in.

Hyperstitions:

When you bet YES on an outcome, you’re not just expressing a belief. You’re joining a coordination game where your capital and effort align toward manifestation. The market doesn’t just predict which path is better; it mobilizes participants to walk that path together.

Opportunity Markets vs Hyperstitions

Opportunity Markets (Paradigm, 2025) introduced subsidized prediction markets where sponsors provide liquidity to discover information before competitors. The key innovation: strategic privacy enables information discovery without leaking alpha.

Both use subsidized prediction markets, but for different goals:

Prices
Opp Mkts:
Private (sponsor)
Hyperstitions:
Public (everyone)
Goal
Opp Mkts:
Discover opportunities
Hyperstitions:
Manifest outcomes
Mechanism
Opp Mkts:
Info to sponsor
Hyperstitions:
Coordination for all
Subsidy
Opp Mkts:
Sponsor liquidity
Hyperstitions:
Protocol buys NO

> KEY DIFFERENCE: Making prices public transforms the market from information aggregation to coordination mechanism. Public prices become Schelling points around which collective action organizes.

[ Market Mechanism: PAMM ]

Hyperstitions uses a Pot-split AMM (PAMM) for its prediction markets. This is a parimutuel-style system with constant-product pricing and virtual liquidity.

How It Works

  • A constant-product curve prices YES/NO shares using virtual liquidity. No orderbook, no external LPs needed.
  • At resolution, winners split the pot: payout per share = pot ÷ circulating winning shares.

Why PAMM

  • Trade without counterparty. Virtual liquidity provides continuous pricing.
  • Continuous price discovery. Implied probability moves as people trade.
  • Self-balancing incentives. Crowded sides become less profitable.

> Key Insight

Holding the winning side doesn’t guarantee profit. If too many traders pile in late at high prices, payout per share can fall below what they paid. This creates natural pressure for early coordination rather than late pile-ons.

[ Three Phases ]

Journey Progression
[ Click to expand ]
Phase 01+Active

[ Bootstrapping ]

Duration: ~7 days minimum

We prove the mechanism using our own token price as the target.

  • Market: “Will $HST hit X FDV?”
  • Users coordinate to push price, win emissions
  • Protocol learns optimal parameters through iteration
  • Builds the liquidity needed for external markets

This is the (3,3) phase. Everyone coordinates, everyone wins.

Phase 02+Pending

[ Permissioned Launchpad ]

After bootstrapping completes

Open to select DAOs and protocols.

  • Import existing tokens or launch new ones with coordination built-in
  • Deploy markets around shipping milestones, TVL targets, mindshare goals
  • Subsidize outcomes you want to manifest
Phase 03+Pending

[ Full Launchpad ]

After proving permissioned model

Fully permissionless. Anyone can:

  • Create coordination markets for any outcome
  • Import any ERC-20 and add coordination mechanics
  • Launch tokens with Hyperstitions built into core tokenomics
  • Become the coordination layer for crypto

At sufficient scale, the prediction becomes the coordination mechanism.

[ Applications ]

> Protocol Shipping

Uniswap creates a market: “Ship v5 by Q3 2026.” UNI holders buy tokens + bet YES + contribute code/testing/docs. Transforms passive governance into active coordination.

> Mindshare Growth

Market: “Reach #1 in Kaito’s Information Markets Arena.” Community coordinates content creation, engagement, narrative building. Direct profit motive for collective visibility.

> L1 Growth

Monad creates a market: “Will Monad TVL exceed $1B for 48 hours?” MON holders coordinate to manifest: deploy protocols, provide liquidity, onboard users, build tooling. Buy MON + Bet YES for full exposure to success.

Launch Mechanism

$HST launches on Doppler’s Pure.st platform using Multicurve technology. Traditional bonding curves sell the most tokens at the cheapest prices, which means MEV bots snipe and dump on real users. Doppler Multicurve fixes this by layering multiple log-normal curves that sell a constant number of tokens at each price level. The result: reduced sniping, higher average execution prices, and fairer distribution.

Airdrop Details

> Genesis NFT Airdrop

An NFT that acts as a points multiplier for your Hyperstitions score. Will be sent to selected communities before launch.

> Coordination Airdrop (10%)

Distributed after the bootstrapping phase based on accumulated Hyperstitions points. Points earned through trading volume, $HST holdings, and social contribution. Genesis NFT holders receive boosted multipliers.

[ The Vision ]

Prediction markets at sufficient scale don’t predict. They execute.

Reality Manufacturing
[ Click to expand ]

Opportunity Markets let institutions discover opportunities through subsidized private markets. Hyperstitions lets communities manifest outcomes through subsidized public markets.

The token price market is proof of concept. The real product is infrastructure where capital flows to those who engineer reality. For the first time, we have markets where capital can directly shape outcomes rather than merely anticipate them.
