Frequently asked
What does "Founding Member rate locked for life" mean?
If you subscribe to Pro or Enterprise at the Founding price before the first 1,000 paid seats are taken, your rate is locked for as long as you maintain an active subscription — no price increases, no re-pricing at renewal. Standard prices ($99/mo Pro, $199/seat/mo Enterprise) apply to everyone after the founding cohort is full.
When does fiat billing open?
Not yet scheduled — and we would rather say that than promise a date. Crypto payments (via NOWPayments) are live today: pay in USDC, USDT, BTC, or ETH and claim your founding seat instantly, first come, first served. We retired the old fiat waitlist rather than keep collecting names against a date we could not honour. When fiat opens, the founding rate applies to whatever seats remain — one pool of 1,000, no reservations, no queue.
I'm a crypto day-trader. What do I actually get that I couldn't cobble together myself?
A single screen where a Hormuz escalation, a refinery going dark on satellite thermal, and a fresh OFAC designation land in one feed — with the infrastructure context to interpret them, and an AI analyst with 24 tools over the live tables. You could piece together ACLED, FIRMS, sanctions lists and a map yourself — but not in one place, with one provenance trail. The ranked-instruments loop (IM-13) is the roadmap's centrepiece and is labelled ROADMAP until it ships — we don't sell it as live.
How fresh is the data?
Every plan — including Citizen — gets the same live map. ADS-B near-real-time, GDELT hourly, thermal per satellite overpass, night-lights on NASA's ~9-day publication schedule, AIS chokepoint coverage on a free tier we are upgrading. Every data point carries its source, license and ingestion timestamp — and a degraded feed says so on the layer instead of pretending. Paid tiers differ on the intelligence layer — AI Analyst budget, the nine INTEL workspaces, alerts and exports — never on the rawness of the map.
How does the crypto discount work in practice?
Select Annual billing, then toggle "Annual + Crypto −30%". At checkout, choose your coin (USDC, BTC, ETH, or USDT). Your wallet is quoted in USD-equivalent at execution price via our payment processor. The 30% discount applies to the annual price automatically; Founding Pro also has a monthly option at $29.00 flat — the founding rate itself, effectively $20.30/month if you pay annually. Nothing auto-renews: each period is a payment you actively make, and we remind you before it lapses. The founding rate is locked for life on either cadence. Once the first 1,000 seats are gone, standard crypto pricing is 15% off.
Which cryptocurrencies do you accept?
USDC, USDT, BTC, ETH on their native chains, plus USDC and USDT on Polygon and Base (lower gas fees). For the $29 monthly option we recommend USDC or USDT on Base or Polygon — mainnet gas on a $29 payment is real money, and some coins carry provider minimums near that amount. Transactions typically confirm in under 15 minutes; your access activates the moment the payment is confirmed on-chain.
What happens if the crypto price moves between checkout and confirmation?
Our processor (NOWPayments) locks the USD-equivalent quote for 20 minutes from the moment you initiate payment. If the transaction confirms within that window, the locked rate applies. If it doesn't, the difference is reconciled automatically — you never pay more than the USD price shown at checkout, and small overpayments are credited to your account.
Can I switch between fiat and crypto, or between monthly and annual, later?
Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade, or switch payment method from your billing portal at any time. Annual plans paid in crypto do not auto-renew — you receive a renewal reminder 14 days before expiry and choose whether to continue. Fiat subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled.
What counts as an AI analyst "query"?
A single natural-language question to the analyst panel, or one automated compound-signal alert your watchlist fires. Context-retrieval, map interactions, and feed browsing are free and unmetered. Citizen = 5 queries/month, Member = 25/month on the full tool surface, Pro = 500/month, Enterprise = 5,000/month/seat. A Query Pack ($5) adds 25 queries to any month. Unused queries do not roll over.
What is a Week Pass?
$9 for everything Pro for 7 days — built for live events. No subscription, no auto-renew; access simply expires. Its companion, the Query Pack ($5), adds 25 AI Analyst queries to your current month on any plan, including free.
What is the Reputation Note?
The spine of COMM. Analysts seal predictions with a commit-reveal SHA-256 hash before the outcome, reveal them after, and every call is scored against live resolution — wrong calls stay on the record. Ten resolved predictions earn a public Reputation Note: a Brier-skill score on your profile. The Note is never for sale — no tier, no payment, no partnership changes it.
What is a paid Space, and who can run one?
Paid Spaces are subscription communities run by calibrated analysts, settled in USDC on Base through the creator's own Unlock lock — non-custodial: your lock, your wallet, eYKON never holds your funds. Platform fee is 15%, enforced on-chain. Creating a paid Space requires a shown Reputation Note — or a Founding Partner seat. Creators also earn a 25% conversion bounty on the first-year subscription of any Space member who upgrades to an eYKON plan, and Creator Pro ($20/month, free for life for the first 50 creators) adds the dashboard, an embeddable reputation card, Space branding, and Discover priority.
What is the Founding Partner programme?
Twenty seats, ever. eYKON's rule is that you don't charge a community until your track record is provable — ten resolved, sealed predictions, scored in public. The Founding Partner programme is the bridge for analysts who arrive with credibility earned elsewhere: vetted for tone, reach and credibility (never self-serve), partners receive immediate paid-Space rights, Creator Pro for life, and the Founding Partner emblem — in exchange for earning their Reputation Note within six months, on the same commit-reveal rules as everyone else. The first slot is taken. Nineteen remain. Introduce yourself at partners@eykon.ai.
Can I cancel? Is there a refund?
Yes. Cancel anytime from the billing portal — you keep access until the end of your paid period. We offer a no-questions 14-day refund on any first purchase (monthly or annual, fiat or crypto). Single-click from billing. Crypto refunds settle in USDC within 5 business days. Full details in the Refund Policy.
Do you offer discounts for journalists, researchers, or students?
Yes. Verified journalists (press card), full-time academic researchers, and students receive an additional 50% off Pro and Enterprise tiers, stackable with the Founding rate. Email verify@eykon.ai with your credentials.
How does the referral program work?
eYKON does not run a public open-enrollment affiliate program. Sharing inside the product is silent and automatically attributed — every shareable view carries the source's identifier without any setup. Beyond that, we run a hand-curated founder advocate program for practitioners whose endorsement carries weight in their networks; advocates receive cash compensation on agreed terms. Full mechanics and the inbound application form are on the How eYKON grows page.
Will the Intelligence Menu keep growing?
Yes. Pro and Enterprise members get every new module as it ships, at no additional cost, for as long as their Founding Member rate holds. The roadmap adds approximately eight modules over the next two quarters, focused on satellite-derived intelligence, network-graph analysis, and temporal pattern-matching.
Who's the platform NOT for?
eYKON is built for fast-decision individuals — day-traders, independent analysts, journalists, bloggers. If you need a procurement-friendly enterprise contract, a cleared-personnel deployment, or a $50k/year managed service, we're not the right fit today. Reach out if your needs evolve.
Where is my data stored and who can see it?
Platform is hosted on Railway and Supabase (EU regions available on request). We do not sell, share, or broker any user data. Your watchlists, queries, and alert history are visible only to you. Full details in the Privacy Policy and DPA.
