How we make money.

The model in one sentence

When you trade on Hyperliquid through the terminal, your orders carry a 0.1% builder fee that you approve explicitly, on-chain, before your first trade — that fee is WatchCrypto's revenue, and it's the only revenue.

What that means in practice

• No subscriptions. We used to have paid plans; we removed them. Every feature — charts, orderbooks, alerts, layouts, the screener — is free for everyone.
• No ads. Nothing on the screen is sponsored, promoted, or paid placement.
• No fee if you don't trade. Use WatchCrypto purely as a data terminal and you pay nothing, ever.
• Nothing hidden. Builder fees are a native Hyperliquid mechanism: the approval is an on-chain transaction you sign, the amount is disclosed in the terminal before you approve it, and you can revoke it any time on Hyperliquid.

Why this model instead of subscriptions

A terminal is only useful if it's open all day. Subscription paywalls push casual users away before the product can prove itself, and tiered plans mean deliberately crippling the free version — the TradingView playbook of counting your indicators and alerts. We'd rather give everyone the whole terminal and earn only when it's actually being used to trade.

It also aligns incentives cleanly: WatchCrypto makes money only when the terminal is good enough that you choose to execute from it.
