The two upgraded tiers — Sniper and Apex — are invite only. You don’t buy them through a generic upgrade page; you receive an invite when your activity warrants it, or by being introduced through the community.

​
What they actually change

Both tiers grant the same feature set as Scout. What you’re paying for is more:

​
Why invite only?

Three reasons:

Quality over volume

Sniper and Apex tiers are designed for traders whose volume actually benefits from them. Selling them to casual users would mean charging for capacity those users don’t need.

No upgrade pressure

We don’t want Scout users feeling pestered by upgrade modals. The product is the same; if you grow into the limits, the platform itself signals it (and an invite usually follows).

Operational guardrails

Fast Mode (session-key delegation) needs careful operational monitoring. Gating it through invitation lets us scale that monitoring sustainably without compromising on safety.

​
How invites happen

Three paths:
  • Activity-based — sustained trading volume on Scout that consistently hits the daily cap will trigger an invite to Sniper. Continued growth at Sniper invites Apex.
  • Community introduction — existing Sniper/Apex users can introduce traders they vouch for.
  • Direct outreach — select traders are reached out to directly based on observed performance.
There is no public sign-up flow for Sniper or Apex by design.

​
When you should not upgrade

If you’re an active retail-scale trader, Scout is probably the right tier indefinitely. You don’t need higher caps you won’t fill. The fee discount on Sniper is meaningful at scale; below scale it’s noise. Only consider upgrading when:
  • You’re consistently hitting Scout’s daily volume cap
  • You’d benefit specifically from Fast Mode beyond what Lightning Wallet already gives you
  • The fee differential at your trading volume is meaningfully larger than the tier cost
  • You’re operating at a size where the higher Lightning cap genuinely matters
If none of those is true, stay on Scout. The platform is genuinely the same.

​
Renewal and downgrade

Paid tiers do not auto-renew silently. When a tier period ends, you receive an explicit prompt to extend or step down. Stepping down is frictionless — you keep your account, your trade history, your referrals; only the tier limits revert.

​
Priority support

Apex includes a direct channel to platform engineering for production trading issues. This is operationally meaningful for traders running serious size — when something feels off, the answer comes in minutes, not next business day. It is not a “we treat your trades better” channel. We don’t, and we wouldn’t. It is a “we triage your support requests faster” channel.
