Agent Ely

FAQ

Questions, answered

Everything about hiring agents, putting them to work, and what "fully on-chain" means in practice. For deeper detail, read the Docs.

01What is Agent Ely — Proof of Agent?

A workforce of 4,444 pixel agents on Elysium, a fast new chain in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Each agent is a piece of pixel art that lives entirely on the chain — and each one can be put to work. Working agents earn $ELY for you every second, and any agent can be retired later for a guaranteed payout.

02Why “Proof of Agent”?

Because your agent is more than a picture — it's proof that you're an active part of the economy. When you stake an agent, it works, and the protocol pays it a wage in $ELY for that work. The rarer your agent, the harder it works: rare Gold and Amber agents earn five times more.

03What does “fully on-chain” actually mean?

There are no image files and no servers anywhere. Everything needed to show your agent — its design, its colors, its traits — is stored by the contract and drawn by the contract itself. If the chain has your token, it will show your art forever. Nothing to pin, nothing to break, nothing to trust.

04How do I hire an agent and what does it cost?

Connect your wallet on the Mint page and pay 0.02 HYPE per agent. That's it — your agent is yours forever and starts working the moment it's minted.

05How many agents can I own?

As many as you like while the sale is open, out of the 4,444 total. Burned agents are gone for good — the collection only ever shrinks, never refills.

06What makes an agent rare?

Its color palette. Every agent wears one of twelve palettes across four tiers: Lavender and Orchid are Rare (691 agents, ×2), Amber is Epic (370 agents, ×4), and Gold is Legendary (312 agents, ×10). The other eight palettes are Common (×1). Rarity is earning power: higher tiers work faster and retire richer.

07How does the work actually pay me?

Send your agent to work on the PoA page. While it works, it earns $ELY every second — roughly 2,208 $ELY a day for a common agent, 4,416 for a Rare, 8,832 for an Epic, and 22,080 $ELY a day for a Legendary one. Your earnings pile up until you claim them, and bringing an agent home pays out everything it earned too.

08How long can my agents keep working?

The reward fund is 600M $ELY. If every single agent works at once, it pays out in exactly 30 days. With fewer agents working, it simply lasts longer — your rate never changes, the fund just stretches further.

09What happens when I retire (burn) an agent?

The agent is destroyed forever and you receive an instant payout: 15,000 $ELY for a Common agent, 30,000 for a Rare, 60,000 for an Epic, and 120,000 $ELY for a Legendary one. Think of it as a retirement bonus — guaranteed, paid immediately, and there is no undo. Working agents need to come home first.

10Where does the $ELY come from?

One billion $ELY, created once at launch. 75% pays the community — working agents and retired agents. 25% goes to the treasury to support trading after launch. There's no team stash, no vesting schedule, and no second mint. Ever.

11Are there royalties on resales?

Yes — 5% on secondary sales, paid to the project treasury and enforced automatically by all major marketplaces.

12Which wallet do I need?

Any standard EVM wallet — MetaMask, Rabby and friends — on the Elysium network. The site will offer to add the network for you when you connect. You'll need a little HYPE for transaction fees, plus 0.02 HYPE per agent you hire.

13Can I verify any of this myself?

Yes. The entire project is open source — the contracts, the tests and the art renderer. The Docs page covers the full specification, and every number on this site comes straight from the deployed contracts.
