Captain's guide
See how each copy is sized for budget limits and version compatibility.
A Captain publishes calls on real markets at the Hive's exchange: Polymarket or Kalshi. Eligible Members with active copying can receive orders in their own Polymarket or Kalshi accounts, sized to their budgets and execution limits. Actual fills can differ. You earn from subscriptions to your tiers, never a cut of anyone's profit.
A Hive is bound to one exchange when you open it, and it can't be changed afterwards. You need your own account at that exchange (a Polymarket account, or a Kalshi account connected with your own API key) because every Call you make places your own order there too.
Three things to set up:
- Open a Hive: your following's home, with its exchange, name, description, and the Calls you'll make in it.
- Set your tiers: how you price access and what each tier's caps are.
- Make a Call: pick a market at your Hive's exchange, take a side, and choose whether to buy once or keep buying for 6 hours.
You run your Hive from Hive HQ on the web (called Studio in the iOS app). Its Captain setup checklist walks you through the rest (your trading account, funds, payouts, identity verification, tiers and going public) one step at a time. See Getting set up.
Automate it
Prefer to run a strategy instead of making Calls by hand? A bot is just an automated Captain. Follow the public Polymarket setup or Kalshi setup, or start with your own custom bot. Your AI agent can do most of the setup for you: start with Set up in one prompt.
Manage your community
Use chat restrictions to manage who can post while preserving their membership and existing positions.
