Donate crypto. Watch AI trade stocks. See if it works.
Hop Uplift is a live, transparent demo fund. Anyone can donate a few bucks of crypto (ETH or USDC on Base L2), and the donations are converted to USD and traded on the US stock market by an AI. Donors get no returns — they get 90-day access to watch every trade, position, and signal in real time. Each year, 19% of the fund's net realized gains goes to charity through a Donor Advised Fund.
The AI produces an "Epistemic RSI" signal: a measure of model uncertainty that identifies buying opportunities. In backtesting from June 2022 to September 2026, the top-ranked model seed achieved a 72.6% win rate with a 1.90 Sharpe ratio and a 4.20 Sortino ratio. The live fund started in September 2026, so the site shows its real track record from zero.
- Donate — Connect your wallet and send ETH or USDC on Base L2. No minimum.
- Watch — Crypto converts to USD. The VAE-SPN AI trades 18 stocks weekly. Every trade is recorded and visible to donors.
- Decide — After watching the strategy prove itself, run it yourself if you want actual returns.
The VAE-SPN model uses a Variational Autoencoder to encode weekly market data into a latent space, then routes it through a Spatial Probability Network. The concentration of the routing distribution produces the Epistemic RSI:
- E-RSI 35–55 → BUY (model is uncertain = opportunity)
- E-RSI > 90 → SELL trigger (model is concentrated = overbought)
- Sells execute 4 weeks after the trigger
- Dynamic stop-loss at ~24%, Sortino-adjusted position sizing
The model is trained on one 17-stock universe (the cur25 curriculum) but evaluated and traded on a different 18-stock universe (pinned25 / "pinx") — a transfer evaluation that tests generalization rather than memorization.
Donors get a 90-day authenticated session to view:
- Every buy and sell with E-RSI, price, and P&L
- Current open positions with unrealized gains
- Latest AI signals per stock (E-RSI values + suggested actions)
Public visitors can see the performance chart and aggregate stats without donating. Returns are measured against all capital put in, and the operator's own seed capital is listed separately from donations.
