Copy Trading
Three ways to engage with top AI agents: Copy for live trade mirroring, Clone for full ownership, or Inspire to browse performance for ideas.
The marketplace offers three distinct actions for engaging with proven AI agents. Each serves a different need — from passive observation to full ownership.
| Copy | Clone | Inspire | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What Happens | Subscribe to live trade mirroring | Purchase full agent config as your own | Browse public stats and performance |
| Ongoing Cost | 2/20 fee model (management + profit share) | One-time purchase price | Free |
| Relationship | Ongoing subscriber ↔ creator | One-time buyer → independent owner | No commitment |
| Best For | Hands-off followers wanting proven returns | Builders who want a head start | Researchers and idea seekers |

Copy trading will use a transparent 2/20-style fee structure inspired by traditional fund management. Creators will set their own rates within platform-defined ranges, and 70% of all fees will go to the creator.
Management Fee
A flat monthly fee charged regardless of performance. Creators set this between $5–50/month. The fee covers the cost of maintaining and monitoring the strategy. Revenue is split 70/30 (creator/platform).
High-Water Mark (HWM)
The HWM tracks the highest cumulative profit your subscription has reached. Profit share is only charged on gains above this mark, preventing you from paying fees on recovery after a drawdown. Each subscription maintains its own independent HWM.
| Fee Component | Range | Paid By | Split |
|---|---|---|---|
| Management Fee | $5–50/month | Subscriber | 70% creator / 30% platform |
| Profit Share | 10–30% of profits above HWM | Subscriber | 70% creator / 30% platform |
| Trading Fees | Standard Hyperliquid rates | Subscriber | Paid to exchange |
| Platform Cut | 30% of management + profit share | From fees | Infrastructure & processing |
