Core objects

Hiss

A Hiss is the strategy object: one thesis, one basket, one public record. It is defined entirely by its manifest and identified by a slug. Anyone can read it, score it, or fork it.

Manifest

The manifest is the portable JSON description of a Hiss: name, thesis, holdings, rebalance policy, risk block, social metadata, and lineage. It has a versioned schema (schemaVersion: "1.0.0") and validates deterministically — the same manifest always produces the same validation result. See Create a Hiss for the full shape.

Holdings and weights in bps

Each holding is a canonical registry asset plus a weight in basis points (bps, hundredths of a percent) and a one-sentence rationale. Weights must sum to exactly 10,000. Why bps instead of percentages? Integers are exact: there is no floating-point drift, the sum check is trivial (=== 10000), and two clients can never disagree about an allocation by a rounding hair.

Oracle health

Every asset's price feed resolves to one of eight health states (OK, STALE, INVALID_PRICE, MISSING_FEED, SEQUENCER_DOWN, GRACE_PERIOD, ORACLE_PAUSED, UNKNOWN). A price is only used when the state is OK. Details in Oracle health.

HISS Score

A 0–100 heuristic about a basket's transparency and structure — thesis clarity, diversification, liquidity readiness, oracle health, meme strength, risk disclosure. Never a prediction of returns. See HISS Score.

Fork lineage

A fork records its parent in the manifest's forkOf field, so every remix cites its original. Fork counts feed Basket Wars. See Forking.

Basket Wars

Weekly competitive seasons for published Hisses, ranked on simulated PnL, drawdown, HISS Score, and community categories. All performance is simulated. See Basket Wars.

Credits

Internal compute units that meter AI and analytics actions (generate, deep score, backtest, …). Non-transferable and never investment-like. See Credits.

x402 endpoints

Ten machine-payable API endpoints that let agents pay per request over HTTP 402. In the current public build they answer for free with mock-labeled envelopes. See x402 payments.

Bankr strategist

When configured server-side, the Bankr Agent API acts as the Strategist brain; otherwise a deterministic mock provider answers. Either way the output is repaired to the canonical registry and passed through guardrails. See AI Strategist and Bankr integration.

HISS vocabulary

The product uses snake-language sparingly. Each term is defined once here; the rest of the docs mostly use the plain word.
