GET STARTED · LOCAL FIRST
Know every step.
Know the boundaries.
Nightlab runs on your own computer. Check Mac compatibility, the pinned Hermes prerequisite and wallet type first. The purchase and activation instructions below describe the intended flow after services open. Activation will not start live trading.
STEP 01
Check the local requirements
Invitation Beta targets Apple Silicon arm64 Macs with macOS 12 or later. Intel Mac and Windows are not supported.
- Confirm your computer is compatible
Use an Apple Silicon M-series Mac. The current application interface is primarily Chinese; the English website does not imply a fully localized application. Do not purchase for an unsupported environment.
- Install the pinned official Hermes prerequisite
Nightlab checks for Hermes Agent 0.20.6 at commit
5241df3d4a552b5e57e338787c41c24ff25e6150, with the required Python 3.11 arm64 runtime. Follow the official installation instructions athttps://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent. Nightlab verifies the prerequisite; it does not automatically download, replace or install Hermes. - Check the release status
The current invitation Beta has not completed Apple Developer ID signing or Apple notarization. No official signed installer is available yet. Never disable macOS security checks to install it.
- Verify the version and SHA-256
When a release is available, compare its version, signature and published checksum before installation. Stop if they do not match. The website does not remotely read your local application directory.
STEP 02
Activate the license
Activation details are visible only to the order owner.
- Wait for verified payment
The order must pass network, asset, token contract, amount, sender, recipient, confirmation and unique-payment checks. Uncertain payments require review.
- Read activation details in your account
The account page and the verified account email refer to the same order entitlement. An expired, unused code can be securely reissued to the owner; the old code becomes invalid.
- Activate on your own computer
Enter the activation information in Nightlab, not a social message or third-party page. First activation binds a device and issues a signed license.
- Check the offline grace period
After initial online verification, the current policy provides 72 hours of offline grace. Invalid or expired authorization safely disables the affected features. One active device is allowed; account services support unbinding an old device.
STEP 03
Bind Polymarket only inside the local app
The purchase website and the local trading client have separate credential boundaries.
Polymarket private keys, seed phrases, CLOB credentials, local strategy state and execution logs.
signatureType 3 (POLY_1271) only. Direct EOA (signatureType 0) and Magic/Proxy (signatureType 1) are unsupported. Purchase or activation does not change a wallet’s type.- Use the local wallet settings
Never enter trading secrets into the website, a support conversation or a referral page.
- Run read-only connection checks
Confirm address, network, balance visibility and signer identity locally. Unknown status must keep execution closed.
- Keep activation separate from execution
Customer production execution has not been delivered and is not included in the current license. Future availability requires independent release acceptance, a verified strategy version, customer authorization and every safety gate. A toggle alone cannot enable it.
- Understand model connectivity
Hermes uses bounded research tools. It cannot export keys, place orders directly, edit core source or bypass risk limits. Requests to the configured external model provider are not fully offline.
STEP 04
Read the maturity labels
These are preview boundaries, not a live service-status response.
BTC 5-minute markets
Market data, replay and governance foundations exist. There is no independently validated after-cost champion and no completed customer automatic-submission acceptance.
Sports
Odds reconnaissance and event matching remain under validation. Research results are not an available sports auto-trading product.
One-click copy trading
Public wallet observation is not a replicable fill. Execution stays closed pending mapping, latency, slippage, limits and independent ledger acceptance.
STEP 05
Use your referral code
Available only after account services open.
- Copy the actual account link
Each registered account has one code, link and QR code. A disconnected page will not manufacture a replacement code.
- Share on X or with your community
Eligible direct orders earn 10%; second-level orders earn 5%. Two levels maximum, calculated from the frozen order price and recorded in USDT.
- Understand the frozen relationship
Current rules permit self-referrals, referral cycles and stacked rewards to the same beneficiary. Each order and level can be credited only once.
- Review the ledger
Unpaid orders earn nothing. Refunds and reversals remain recorded. Beta commission payouts require manual review and are not automatically transferred by the calculator.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy or download now?
No. Public account, payment, activation and official download services remain closed during the preview.
Will my software wallet be sent to the website?
No. The site must not request Polymarket trading secrets. If any web page or message requests them, stop.
Will purchase activate live trading?
No. Purchase, license activation, wallet binding and production execution are separate states. The current customer license does not grant production execution.
Are the screenshots customer results?
No. They render real software components using clearly marked synthetic demonstration data. They are not customer accounts, live prices or investment returns.
When will sports and copy trading open?
Only after their separate data, semantics, execution and ledger checks are accepted. No opening date is promised.
