Managers

Asset managers are the backbone of HYRO, bringing skill, strategy, and disciplined execution to the capital provided by liquidity providers (LPs). HYRO connects these managers directly with LPs through a transparent, challenge-based qualification system that ensures only proven traders can access protocol capital.

Challenge-Based Manager Qualification

Meritocratic Onboarding Process HYRO uses challenge-based qualification to ensure only capable managers access LP capital. This approach eliminates subjective criteria and creates a transparent, meritocratic system based on actual trading performance.

Challenge Templates Manager qualification is determined through standardized challenge templates that define:

  • Financial Parameters: Starting deposits, entrance costs, and profit targets
  • Risk Management: Daily drawdown limits and maximum loss thresholds
  • Trading Requirements: Minimum trading days and activity levels
  • Performance Metrics: Win rates, position sizing, and risk management

Challenge Participation Managers participate in challenges by:

  1. Selecting Templates: Choosing appropriate challenge templates based on their trading style
  2. Paying Entry Fees: Contributing to the challenge pool through entrance costs
  3. Demonstrating Skills: Trading under real market conditions within defined parameters
  4. Meeting Targets: Achieving profit targets while respecting risk limits
  5. Completing Requirements: Meeting minimum trading day requirements

Challenge System Implementation

Template Creation Challenge templates are created by protocol administrators and define standardized qualification criteria:

1pub struct ChallengeTemplate {
2    pub stage_id: u16,                    // Unique template identifier
3    pub stage_sequence: u8,               // Template sequence number
4    pub stage_type: StageType,            // Challenge type (evaluation/funded)
5    pub starting_deposit: u64,            // Virtual trading balance
6    pub entrance_cost: u64,               // Fee to join challenge
7    pub minimum_trading_days: SmallScalar, // Required trading days
8    pub daily_drawdown: Percent,          // Daily drawdown limit
9    pub maximum_loss: Percent,            // Maximum loss threshold
10    pub profit_target: Percent,           // Required profit target
11    pub max_participants: SmallScalar,    // Maximum participants
12    pub is_active: bool,                  // Template status
13}

Challenge Tracking Individual challenges track participant progress through comprehensive state management:

1pub struct Challenge {
2    pub challenge_id: String,             // Unique challenge identifier
3    pub user: Pubkey,                     // Participant address
4    pub starting_balance: u64,           // Initial balance
5    pub latest_balance: u64,              // Current balance
6    pub status: ChallengeStatus,          // Current status
7    pub payout: u64,                      // Calculated payout
8    // ... additional tracking fields
9}
