View ChartHyperCycle (HYPC) is a Layer 0 blockchain platform engineered to power a global Internet of AI (IoAI). Unlike conventional blockchains, HyperCycle operates without a ledger, relying on a deterministic-by-construct architecture that embeds security directly within the existing network stack. The project's core mission is to enable a peer-to-peer ecosystem where AI agents and services can transact securely, efficiently, and at scale without third-party intermediaries. HYPC is an ERC-20 token deployed on the Ethereum platform, with a maximum supply of approximately 2.15 billion tokens. The project launched in 2023 and has since published its HyperCycle Core 1.08 whitepaper in July 2025, outlining its vision for a collaborative global brain.
Token distribution includes allocations for Team & Advisors, Rewards, Partnerships, Incentives, and Ecosystem, each with distinct vesting schedules. The next token unlock is scheduled for October 8, 2026, releasing 46,174,552 tokens.
HyperCycle was co-founded by Toufi Saliba, who serves as CEO and advocates for a decentralised and open approach to achieving AGI and ASI. The HyperCycle Core 1.08 whitepaper was authored by Toufi Saliba and Robert Moir PhD, in collaboration with Dann Toliver, Greg Colvin PhD, and Barry Rowe PhD. The project has raised a total of $8.96M across Seed, Private, Public, and Community rounds, with public sale platforms including Vent, Seedify, and Safelaunch. The team maintains an active presence on LinkedIn and YouTube, providing community updates and technical guides.
HyperCycle's architecture is built on two foundational technological primitives: the TODA/IP protocol, a ledgerless consensus protocol, and the Earth64 data structure, which uses hierarchical data structures. These foundations facilitate secure, peer-to-peer microtransactions and computational interactions without reliance on third-party intermediaries, significantly reducing transaction latency and cost. The platform utilizes Toda/IP and SingularityNET to facilitate transactions. Central to its economic model are Node Factories, economically-backed digital assets that deterministically produce valuable Network Nodes. These nodes provide essential computational connectivity within the open, permissionless AI network. HyperCycle also introduced the Advanced Node Factory Enclosure (ANFE), comprising eight software products designed to enhance node functionality.
HyperCycle distinguishes itself through its ledgerless Layer 0 design, which enables deterministic security and scalable peer-to-peer interactions. By eliminating third-party intermediaries, the platform allows direct transactions of extremely small values, which would otherwise be impossible due to overhead costs. This capability is critical for the Internet of AI, where AI agents and services require efficient microtransactions. The project's vision of transforming the competitive AI race into a collaborative effort aims to yield greater global intelligence rather than isolated advancements. HyperCycle empowers users to participate democratically as Node Factory Owners and Operators, aligning economic incentives with operational excellence.
HYPC serves multiple functions within the HyperCycle ecosystem. It acts as collateral for cryptographic identity backing, with 2 HYPC required for level 10 and 1 HYPC for levels 9 through 2. HYPC can be converted to CHyPC, an ERC-721 NFT, and vice versa, facilitating flexible participation in the network. The token is used for node operations and economic incentives, rewarding participants for maintaining high-quality node performance. Additionally, HYPC tokens can be released from a CHyPC NFT, with only one conversion possible at a time. These utilities support the platform's goal of enabling a secure, efficient, and scalable Internet of AI.
The HyperCycle ecosystem is expanding through the introduction of the Internet of AI (IoAI) Software Bundle, which includes eight software products for the Advanced Node Factory Enclosure (ANFE). A claim guide for this bundle was published in October 2025. The platform also offers how-to guides for converting HyPC to CHyPC and releasing HyPC tokens from a CHyPC NFT. Partnerships and integrations, such as with SingularityNET, further enhance transaction facilitation. Community updates, including addresses of the HyPC fork rumor by Toufi Saliba, demonstrate ongoing engagement and transparency. The project continues to develop its Node Factory model, empowering users to become Node Factory Owners and Operators.
HyperCycle does not follow traditional mining or staking mechanisms. Instead, participants contribute to the network by operating Network Nodes produced by Node Factories. These nodes provide essential computational connectivity and are backed by economic incentives. Users can become Node Factory Owners or Operators, earning rewards based on node performance and network growth. The deterministic production of nodes ensures a scalable and efficient infrastructure for the Internet of AI. Detailed public information on specific node operation requirements is available through HyperCycle's official guides and community resources.
To keep your HYPC tokens safe, use a reputable self-custody wallet that supports ERC-20 tokens, such as hardware wallets for enhanced security. Always verify the token contract address before interacting with any platform. Be cautious of phishing attempts and only use official HyperCycle resources for token conversion and NFT release processes. Enable two-factor authentication where available and keep your private keys confidential. Regularly update your wallet software and avoid sharing sensitive information online. For long-term storage, consider cold storage solutions to minimise exposure to online threats.
