How long HYIP projects last
Statistics on every project that has entered our monitoring: how many have already stopped paying, how many days that usually takes, and what a typical project looked like. The numbers are calculated from the site database, not hand-picked examples.
The database holds two generations of data, and we keep them apart.
Archive — — projects with a full profile, launched from — to —: start date, payment systems, script, country, minimum deposit and payouts reported by monitors. Lifespan and the project profile are calculated from it.
Current monitoring — — projects added since —. For them we only know when they were added to the site, not when they launched, so we do not calculate a “lifespan” for them: it would distort the numbers.
What is happening in monitoring
Projects are checked automatically: if a site does not open, is parked or has changed purpose, the project is marked as scam.
Status of all projects
Weekly intake and drop-outs
Of the — projects in current monitoring, — (—) were marked as scam, and — of those within three days of being added (—). The first week of August 2026 was a one-off catalogue import, most of which was already dead by then.
Lifespan until marked as scam
Days from project launch to the day monitoring concluded it had stopped paying. Calculated from the archive; projects marked retroactively years later are excluded.
How many days projects lasted
Who made it past the mark
Excluded: — archive projects marked as scam only during the 2026 check — the date they actually stopped is unknown.

Even the longest-lived eventually stopped paying.
What a typical project looked like
Payment systems, script, country, payout type and minimum deposit from archive profiles. Every one of these projects was eventually marked as scam — the “right” set of features protected against nothing.

Share of archive projects. A purchased script and an expensive certificate cost less than the deposits collected.
Monitor payouts and deposits archive 2015–2020
Monitors invested in projects themselves and published the payouts they received. The data comes from — monitors, and the last month in it is —: nothing was collected after that, so the absence of later payouts means no data, not zero.
The same payout was often published by several monitors: of — records, — are distinct payouts, and only those are counted. Amounts are in US dollars as reported by monitors.
What this means for an investor
- Scam is the normal ending, not the exception.Marked as scam: — of all projects in the database, and every single one in the archive. The question is not whether a project will pay, but when it will stop.
- The clock runs in weeks.Half of the archive projects did not last even — days; only — made it to 90 days. Anything locked in for longer is unlikely to come back.
- A solid look guarantees nothing.A licensed script was used by — projects, the most popular being — (—), and the payment system — was accepted by —. An identical template is not a mark of quality but of an assembly line.
- Even the professionals lost.Monitors got into projects first and withdrew at every opportunity — and still got back only — of what they put in (by their own published figures). A “paying” status on a monitor lags behind reality: most projects in the current database were marked as scam within the first days of checking.
- If you take part anyway, use only money you can afford to lose.This page promises no returns and does not recommend investing. You can check a specific project in the HYIP catalogue and on the monitors page.
