$100K

$100K

80% trader / 20% firm

10% of the starting balance, measured on balance (closed P&L).

10% in one step, on equity; no time limit

6% static, set once from the starting balance and never moved — $4,700 on a $5K account, $94,000 on a $100K. Profit does not raise it.

5% static: equity never more than 5% below the starting balance, open PnL included

3% of the prior day's closing balance, re-struck every day at 00:00 UTC. Calculated from balance (closed P&L) but enforced on equity, so an open loser can breach it.

3% (default) or 5%, chosen at purchase: equity never more than that below the start-of-day balance, UTC day

None. The assessment can be passed in a single trade.

Identical to the assessment: 3% daily and the same 6% static floor. Only the profit target goes away.

None. No cap on a single day's share of total profit.

None

None.

None on the scaled account; Grow adds a 20% best-day rule

Allowed. No news-event restriction of any kind.

Allowed: no news restriction on Classic or Instant Funded

Allowed. No news-event restriction of any kind.

Allowed: no news restriction on Classic or Instant Funded

$200,000 aggregate funded balance across as many accounts as you like, for traders not on a scaling plan. Only one active assessment per asset class at a time.

Up to 3 active accounts per person: one $50K or $100K Classic, one $5K–$25K Classic and one Instant Funded; promotion takes a Classic account up to $1,000,000 demo

Discretionary. Funded traders who hit performance targets while respecting the rulebook are reviewed for capital increases; a formal programme with improved profit splits is advertised as coming soon.

One-time fee per assessment, and you also choose market access at purchase: Crypto (79 pairs), TradFi (61) or All markets (140). No reset product — a breach is permanent and trading again means buying a new assessment.

On demand, any time you are flat — no cooldown, no waiting period and no limit on the number of requests.

Weekly, with no minimum, allowance or extraction limit; a payout never reduces equity

Available as soon as the funded account is in profit. No minimum amount and no minimum holding period.

Weekly from the day you pass; no minimum

None.

None; rewards are paid in the weekly run on eligible PnL

Settled on-chain in USDC by smart contract, with gas sponsored by Hypernova. The public stats page reports a 5.9s average across 749 payouts.

Weekly reward run; no processing time published. Bank transfer in USD via Stripe or USDC on-chain, every reward listed on the public ledger

Assessment fees are one-time and non-refundable once the account is activated, whatever the outcome. Paid in USDC.

Full refund if you have not placed a trade (email support); generally none once a trade is placed, apart from billing or technical errors at Vanta's discretion and EU/UK statutory withdrawal rights. The fee is not refunded on passing.

Allowed. Perpetuals trade 24/7 and there is no flat-by-Friday rule.

Allowed in every market; crypto trades 24/7, the rest on standard hours

Allowed. No session close and no overnight fee beyond funding rates.

Allowed in every market; forex swaps and equity financing accrue daily

Allowed within one account. Opposing positions on the same instrument across two Hypernova accounts, or against an account at any third-party firm, are prohibited conduct (§14.1) and terminate the account.

Mirroring or opposing positions across your own accounts is prohibited; within one account longs and shorts count gross toward buying power and never offset

Prohibited (§14.2), and unusually broadly: third-party signals, copy-trading services, trade ideas taken from communities, social media or research, and any strategy marketed as a way to pass prop evaluations. Automated strategies you built and run yourself on a single account are fine.

Prohibited: third-party signals or copy-trading services mean immediate disqualification; each of your accounts must run its own strategy

Allowed with no restrictions, provided the strategy is your own and runs on one account. A typed REST + WebSocket API and first-party TypeScript and Python SDKs are advertised as coming soon.

Allowed: your own algorithms, EAs, bots and AI, including through the Vanta Trading API

Only two guardrails: the daily loss limit and the max drawdown, both equity-based (floating P&L counts) with no grace period — a momentary touch is a permanent breach with no reset or appeal. Prohibited conduct is separate and terminates the account: cross-account or cross-venue hedging, copy trading and third-party signals, account sharing or trading several accounts from one household, device or IP without approval, exploiting platform errors or latency, identity fraud, insider trading and front-running, switching to a materially different strategy once funded, and strategies that cannot be replicated in live markets.

Prohibited: third-party signals and copy-trading or trade-mirroring services (immediate disqualification), mirroring or opposing positions across your own accounts, market manipulation (wash trading, spoofing, layering, front-running), collusion, exploiting bugs, glitches, timing issues or platform errors, account sharing, and VPNs or proxies to bypass geographic restrictions. One profile and email per person, up to 3 active accounts. One trade every 60 days or the account closes.

Crypto perps 0.01% maker / 0.04% taker; TradFi perps 0% maker / 0.005% taker, charged on fill price at execution. Hourly funding is applied to open positions using Hyperliquid's published rates and counts toward equity.
