Agent Circle Cost Structure - Agent Circle

Agent Circle uses Hyperliquid’s own order books and settlement instead of building its own, so its costs are mostly people and security.

Cost	When	Notes
Engineering	Always	The largest cost by far
External security review	Before mainnet	Not optional, and not deferred
Keeper gas (HYPE)	From testnet	Grows with vaults and fills
Indexer and keeper hosting	From testnet	Always-on Node services
Database	From testnet	Supabase Postgres
Arena prize pools	From Season 1	Fixed in USDC per season
Grants	Phase 3	Funded from revenue

Why it stays lean

HyperCore provides matching, margin and settlement. Agent Circle adds custody rules, scoring and distribution on top, which is a small amount of infrastructure for a lot of leverage.
