Setup

1. Purchase a Seat

Go to alphaticks.io/alpha-hype-sentry
Connect your wallet
Purchase a seat by locking aHYPE collateral

Seat pricing is utilization-based. The contract requires a minimum deposit equal to one day of fees at the post-purchase utilization, but you can deposit more collateral to increase your health buffer.

Current sentry parameters are maxSeats = 10, minFeePerSecond = 0, and maxFeePerSecond = 7716 smallest aHYPE units per second. Because aHYPE has 8 decimals, the seat price table is:

If this is seat #	Post-purchase utilization	Minimum deposit / daily fee	Annualized fee
1	10%	0.666144 aHYPE	243.14 aHYPE
2	20%	1.333152 aHYPE	486.60 aHYPE
3	30%	1.999296 aHYPE	729.74 aHYPE
4	40%	2.666304 aHYPE	973.20 aHYPE
5	50%	3.333312 aHYPE	1,216.66 aHYPE
6	60%	3.999456 aHYPE	1,459.80 aHYPE
7	70%	4.666464 aHYPE	1,703.26 aHYPE
8	80%	5.332608 aHYPE	1,946.40 aHYPE
9	90%	5.999616 aHYPE	2,189.86 aHYPE
10	100%	6.666624 aHYPE	2,433.32 aHYPE

The fee rate is global: if seat occupancy changes later, every active seat accrues at the new utilization-based rate.

2. Whitelist Your IP

After purchasing a seat, configure your node's IP address:

Enter the static IP of your Hyperliquid node
Submit the whitelist transaction
Wait for confirmation

3. Configure Your Node

Update your Hyperliquid node gossip_config.json to connect to the Alphaticks sentry:

{
  "root_node_ips": [
    {
      "Ip": "3.114.22.239"
    }
  ],
  "try_new_peers": false,
  "chain": "Mainnet"
}

See the Hyperliquid node documentation for full setup instructions.

4. Verify Connection

Once configured, your node should sync from the Alphaticks sentry. Check your node logs to confirm the connection is established.

Managing Your Seat

Add collateral: Top up aHYPE to maintain healthy collateral ratio
Update IP: Change your whitelisted IP if your node moves
Monitor health: Ensure your seat doesn't become liquidatable
