HyperPG Management Service (HMS) FAQ
29 May, 2025
HMS (HyperPG Management Service) is a new HyperPG offering that lets Node Factory owners delegate license management directly to HMS. In exchange, subscribers will immediately receive direct tilling at no upfront cost and share in ongoing revenue distributions.
For existing HyperPG Tilling Service (HTS) users, this shifts the user from paying approximately $5/month per Node Factory to instantly eliminating that cost and starting to earn profit—effectively placing over $5/month per Node Factory back in the HTS users pocket from day one.
Revenue distributed via HMS is calculated after deducting operating fees; a fixed 1% to HyperCycle, operator costs, and AIM fees. The remaining revenue is pooled and shared directly with subscribers.
Q: How does the HMS funding pool work?
-
Funding source: Every payment into HMS is added to one central pool.
-
HyperPG share (5%): HyperPG retains 5% of each contribution to cover operating costs and fund ongoing HMS improvements.
-
Subscriber payouts (95%): The remaining 95% of the pool is reserved for distribution back to active HMS subscribers.
Q: How does HMS distribute revenue among subscribers?
-
95% of pool revenue: Each month, 95% of all revenue entering the HMS pool is reserved for subscriber revenue sharing.
-
Based on subscribed licenses: Distribution calculations are based on the total number of licenses subscribed, not the number of users.
-
License counting method: All subscribed licenses are counted at the Level 10 Node Factory level. For example, subscribing one MasterNode Level Node Factory counts as subscribing 512 Level 10 Node Factories.
-
Join-date groups ("tranches"): Subscribers are organised into tranches from when they began participating in HMS. With HTS subscribers being the first joiners and so in Tranche 1. Anyone subscribing without an existing HTS subscription will be organised into Tranche 1, Tranche 2, so on and so forth.
-
Everyone benefits when the pool grows: As the total payout pool increases, every subscriber’s per-license share increases proportionally.
-
Longer-standing subscribers protected: Subscribers who joined earlier will never receive a lower per-node payout than subscribers who joined later.
-
Monthly distribution: At the end of each billing cycle, each subscriber’s share is calculated and either credited directly to their payout account or made available for withdrawal.
Q: How do I subscribe my node factory to HMS?
-
Open the HMS dApp: Log in with your wallet.
-
Find your factories: In the “Node Factories” section, locate any not yet subscribed.
-
Click “Subscribe”: Select the factory you wish to enroll.
-
Confirm the action: Approve the on-screen prompts (wallet signature/transaction) to assign HMS as your factory’s manager.
-
Subscription confirmed: Your factory moves into the “Subscribed” list, and you’ll immediately see your accumulated HMS revenue (and any carried-over HTS credit) at the top of the dashboard.
Q: How do I transition from HTS to HMS?
-
Automatic migration + bonus: Your remaining HTS balance and downtime credits are automatically combined, boosted, and converted into a single HMS starting credit (see “How is my remaining HTS balance boosted?”).
-
Activating HMS: Navigate to the HMS dApp and follow the on-screen instructions to complete your transition. Upon transition, your node factory immediately benefits from direct tilling, revenue sharing, and other HMS-exclusive features.
Q: What happens if I don’t transition from HTS to HMS?
-
Legacy HTS support: You may continue using HTS until your existing balance runs out, but you won’t be able to add new service time or receive HMS-specific features and revenue distributions.
-
No HMS payouts: Remaining on HTS means you forfeit all HMS revenue-sharing benefits.
-
Depreciation timing: HTS will remain available only until all legacy balances expire or until all users migrate—whichever comes first.
Q: How does HMS compensate HTS subscribers for downtime?
-
If your licenses experienced tilling downtime due to HTS issues—meaning downtime that negatively impacted your tilling score—HMS converts that downtime into a USDC credit at your original HTS rate.
-
This USDC credit amount is then multiplied by 5×, significantly increasing your compensation.
-
The resulting boosted credit is added directly to your HMS starting credit. (see “How is my remaining HTS balance boosted?”).
-
Note: System downtime that did not impact your tilling score is not eligible for compensation.
Q: How is my remaining HTS balance boosted when I transition to HMS?
-
HMS converts your unused HTS service time into a USDC credit at your original HTS rate.
-
This converted amount is then boosted by 1.5×.
-
Additionally, any downtime credits you’ve earned (already boosted by 5×) are added, combining to form a single HMS starting credit in USDC.
-
Your total HMS starting credit is clearly displayed in the HMS dApp after transitioning.
Q: How is my HMS starting credit distributed?
-
Normally, 95% of the HMS revenue pool is shared among subscribers, with HyperPG receiving 5%.
-
Subscribers with a HMS starting credit will receive 100% of their calculated revenue share.
-
The extra 5% received will be deducted from the HMS starting credit each payout cycle until the full HMS starting credit is fully paid out.
-
When the HMS credit balance reaches zero, distributions automatically revert to the standard 95% subscriber / 5% HyperPG split.
-
No action is required at any point. The current HMS credit balance will be clearly shown in the HMS dApp, it will reduce over time until reaching zero.
Q: How do I add or remove a node factory from HMS?
-
Adding (subscribe): Use the “Subscribe” flow in the HMS dApp (as detailed above).
-
Removing (unsubscribe): In the HyperCycle dApp, change the factory’s manager address back to your own (or another) address. This revokes HMS authorisation and halts HMS tilling immediately. You can re-subscribe at any time.
Q: Is there any fee or cost to subscribe to HMS beyond the revenue-share model?
-
No upfront or recurring fees: Joining HMS is completely free.
-
Revenue-share only: HMS earns solely the agreed percentage of pool revenue; you incur no out-of-pocket costs.
-
No penalties: You retain full license ownership and can unsubscribe at any time with no fees.
Q: Where can I find help or HMS documentation?
-
Guides & Videos (coming soon): A written guide and technical walkthrough video will be published by our communications team.
-
Webinars & Meetups: We’ll host online seminars and live Q&A sessions.
-
Support Portal: Submit tickets via the HyperPG Odoo portal.
-
Community: We have a dedicated support channel on discord: Join the HyperPG Discord Official Community
Q: How can I track my node’s performance and uptime?
-
Visit the Hypercycle Explorer, enter your license ID, and view the detailed tilling history and uptime percentage for that license.
Q: What will be the time frame between Tranches 1 and 2?
-
We anticipate a period of approximately 2–3 months between the start of Tranche 1 and the point when Tranche 2 subscribers begin receiving revenue distributions.
-
Subscribers who join in Tranche 2 will benefit from direct tilling immediately upon subscribing, even before distributions begin.
Q: Does HMS activation mean the start of compute?
-
Activating HMS is an important step toward enabling compute-based commerce on mainnet. While we anticipate initial compute transactions shortly after activation, HMS marks just the starting point of AI commerce. Building a vibrant AI marketplace is a complex process, and significant ongoing work will continue after this milestone.
Q: How long will HTS remain open for new subscriptions?
-
HTS will remain open for new subscriptions until HMS launches.
Q: Can I subscribe to HTS with my Advanced Node Factory Enclosure (ANFE)?
-
No you can not subscribe to HTS with your ANFE, upon launch of HMS:
-
Your ANFE will inherit the tilling history of the qualifying Node Factory.
-
Can be subscribed to HMS and HMS will till the ANFE as part of the service.
-
If subscribed to HMS will be part of Tranche 2 for revenue distributions.
Q: Will free tilling end?
-
Yes, free tilling will end once HMS has launched and everyone has been given time to subscribe to HMS. HMS offers direct tilling as part of the service.
Example Scenario’s, User choices and Outcomes:
Scenario 1: User A has a Node Factory subscribed to HTS and an ANFE.
Upon launch of HMS: The ANFE will inherit the tilling history of the qualifying Node Factory automatically. User A chooses to activate their Node Factory in the HMS dApp and subscribes to HMS with their ANFE.
Outcome: Both the NF and ANFE will be tilled as part of the HMS service. User A will have a USDC credit balance reflecting remaining HTS time at 1.5× and if applicable any downtime compensation at 5×. The NF will be in Tranche 1 for revenue distributions and the ANFE will be in Tranche 2 for revenue distributions. User A will receive 100% of allocated revenue distributions until the USDC credit goes to 0. After this they will then be receiving 95% of allocated revenue distributions.
Scenario 2: User B has a Node Factory benefitting from inherited tilling (free tilling) and an ANFE.
Upon launch of HMS: The ANFE will inherit the tilling history of the qualifying Node Factory. User B chooses to subscribe to HMS with both the NF and the ANFE.
Outcome: Both the NF and the ANFE will begin tilling as part of the HMS service. Both the NF and ANFE will be in Tranche 2 and receive 95% of allocated revenue distributions.
Scenario 3: User C has a Node Factory subscribed to HTS and an ANFE.
Upon launch of HMS: The ANFE will inherit the tilling history of the qualifying Node Factory. User C chooses not to activate their NF with HMS or subscribe to HMS with their ANFE.
Outcome: The NF will continue to till as per their HTS subscription. The ANFE will not be tilling. If User C chooses to subscribe to HMS at a later date they may have missed both Tranche 1 and Tranche 2, needing to wait for a new Tranche to open before revenue distributions commence.
Scenario 4: User D has a Node Factory benefitting from inherited tilling (free tilling) and an ANFE.
Upon launch of HMS: The ANFE will inherit the tilling history of the qualifying Node Factory. User D chooses not to subscribe to HMS with either the NF or ANFE.
Outcome: The NF inherited tilling (free tilling) will soon end and the NF will no longer be tilling. The ANFE will not be tilling. If User D chooses to subscribe to HMS at a later date they may have missed Tranche 2, needing to wait for a new Tranche to open up before revenue distributions commence.
