HyperBeat is a points program on HyperEVM. You earn weekly Hearts by staking HYPE. There are two choices: vanilla staking (easy set‑and‑forget) or beHYPE (a liquid staking token you can use in partner venues). Many treat Hearts as the airdrop track, so the flow is: open the Airdrop page, stake, then check the Hearts panel before each weekly tick.
Weekly cadence matters more than one‑off size. Miss the tick, lose momentum.
Two paths: stake HYPE directly (vanilla) or mint beHYPE and plug it into venues.
Composability tax: every hop (mint → deposit → LP → lend) adds risk and gas. Worth it only if net stays positive.
Rule of thumb: If I can’t explain where yield comes from in one line, I scale down.
Open the HyperBeat dashboard and follow the onboarding.
Start with vanilla staking for one week to learn the timing.
Flip a small slice to beHYPE and test one venue only.
Track everything in the Hearts panel before the weekly cutoff.
Expand or roll back based on net (see formula below).
Stake HYPE directly.
Minimal clicks, minimal room for error.
Good if your time is scarce and you just want weekly Hearts to settle.
Try this when: you’re new to HyperEVM or you prefer a passive base.
Mint beHYPE for liquid exposure.
Deploy to Morphobeat or Earn as a single additional step (not three).
Reassess weekly: if incentives thin out, move back to vanilla.
Try this when: you like to tweak positions and check dashboards twice a week.
Net = base staking exposure ± venue incentives − borrow APR ± LP fees − gas
If Net < 0.5% weekly after gas, I simplify.
Caps matter: once a vault fills, yields compress. Don’t chase screenshots; watch the live numbers on the venue.
Before tick: open the Hearts panel, confirm balances, decide if you nudge size.
After tick: sanity‑check that points landed; journal the changes (size, venue, fees).
Once a month: stress test exits (small redemption or unwind) to keep muscle memory.
Added two venues at once; doubled gas, same net.
Ignored borrow APR during a spike — wiped the incentive.
Forgot to keep gas buffer on HyperEVM; missed the perfect rebalance window.
Fix: one venue at a time, alerts on APR, and a labeled wallet that only holds HyperEVM gas.
My split right now: ~70% vanilla, ~30% beHYPE in a single venue.
Stake HYPE (vanilla).
Put a weekly reminder 12–24h before the tick.
Keep 0.02–0.05 native gas for emergencies.
Only after one full week, test beHYPE with small size.
If net stays positive for two weeks, scale beHYPE by +10–15%.
Mint beHYPE and choose one route (Morphobeat or Earn).
Use conservative LTV; don’t assume incentives will stay.
Track Net daily for the first week; cut risk at the first negative streak.
Power ≠ leverage for its own sake. Power = repeatable net you can defend.
Smart contracts: wrapper + venue doubles the surface.
Borrow rates: can spike when everyone piles in.
Liquidity: exits depend on pools/queues. Test small.
Ops: approvals and redemptions — check token addresses, not just logos.
A: No. That’s how you compound mistakes. Move only when Net is consistently worse than vanilla.
A: Flexibility is a privilege, but it costs attention. Keep a vanilla base; it’s your fallback.
A: If Net stays > vanilla for two consecutive weeks after gas, it earns a slot in your stack.
A: Incentives halved, APR doubled, or caps hit. When two of three flip, reduce risk.
You don’t need hero moves to stack Hearts. Pick a lane, respect the weekly rhythm, and keep your Net positive. If the setup gets complicated, shrink back to vanilla and breathe. That discipline alone beats most rushed strategies.
