HyperHack Teams: Your Treasury Strategy Will Make or Break You

Real talk: While you’re stress-testing Hyperion’s parallel execution, nobody’s stress-testing your financial infrastructure.

Watching HyperHack teams build amazing applications like My Odyssey’s crowdfunding system and Consentra’s DAO governance tools, but I’m seeing a dangerous pattern: brilliant tech, amateur treasury operations.

The $200K Reality Check

HyperHack’s prize pool is $200K. That’s seed funding territory. You win, celebrate, then realize you have zero infrastructure for managing distributed payments or runway planning. The stablecoin market does $16 trillion annually, but your team coordinates funds through group chats.

What’s Breaking Teams Right Now

Your AI developer is in Mumbai, designer in Berlin, marketing person in São Paulo. Every payment involves three regulatory frameworks and currency conversions. You receive prize money in METIS, need to pay contractors in USDC, hold ETH for gas. When METIS drops 30% overnight, your budget planning breaks.

Traditional companies use enterprise tools. You’re using spreadsheets and hoping multisig approvals don’t take three days for urgent contractor bills.

The Hyperion Advantage Nobody’s Using

Hyperion’s parallel execution could revolutionize treasury operations. Building on the Builders Guild’s exploit-proof economic design insights, imagine treasury operations that automatically rebalance holdings, predict cash flow, and coordinate payments in real-time.

The AI + blockchain market is projected to exceed $703 million in 2025, but most teams are stuck in 2017-era treasury thinking.

Questions for Your Team Right Now

  1. How will you coordinate payments if you win HyperHack funding?
  2. What’s your strategy for managing volatile treasury assets?
  3. Who handles financial operations as you scale beyond hackathon mode?

Recent Operators Guild discussions about distributed team challenges show financial coordination is the next operational bottleneck.

@pavel - what if HyperHack’s infrastructure track included treasury operations tools? Teams building financial coordination infrastructure might create more lasting value than another DEX.

The uncomfortable truth: AI-powered DAOs are already automating treasury management. Teams that master this now will still be building when the next bear market hits.

What’s your project’s financial coordination strategy beyond “HODL and hope”?

I recently attended a grant/funding discussion where I was asked some critical questions about financial operations specifically around payment coordination, treasury management, and post-hackathon scaling. It pushed me to reflect on our internal processes and I realized we’re already thinking in the right direction. Multi-sig wallets for transparency, partial stablecoin conversion for treasury protection, and gradually onboarding dedicated ops roles as we scale, these are now pillars I’ll be solidifying moving forward. The session was a great reminder that funding isn’t just about building; it’s also about managing responsibly.

  1. We’ll coordinate payments using a multi-signature wallet setup to ensure transparency and security. For this phase, funds will be allocated based on milestone completion prioritizing technical development, community incentives, and testing infrastructure. We’re also building internal workflows to track spending against progress.
  2. Given the volatility of crypto assets, our immediate strategy is to convert a portion of any grant funding into stablecoins (like USDC) to cover near-term operational needs. This protects our runway while allowing the rest of the treasury to remain exposed to upside from network-aligned assets. Long-term, we plan to implement a treasury management policy through a DAO or Gnosis Safe system once Fracture Point matures.
  3. Currently, financial operations are managed directly by the founder (supaman) with oversight and clear documentation. As we scale, this will shift to a dedicated financial operations role or external advisor especially as GameHouse formalizes into a studio-style structure. We intend to onboard experienced contributors for treasury management, compliance, and financial planning as funding increases.
