Partial re-read: GT Funded's copy grows to $500K/90%, FundedPoly 402 at 63 days, Hypernova reserve $600,015 — no status change
Four of the ten tracked sites re-read in full on 26 September 2026; the other six covered by that morning's automated DNS/HTTP sweep. GT Funded: www.gtfunded.xyz answers 307 → 200 and its page metadata now advertises funding up to $500K, up to 90% of profits and 'no KYC, no middlemen' — larger than the $250K hero we read on 15 September — while the Open Graph URL and preview image still resolve to gtfunded.vercel.app. The body renders client-side and returned nothing to our reader, so we did NOT confirm the call to action that day; the last confirmed read of a waitlist-only page remains 15 September, and the classification stays relaunching (unproven). FundedPoly: HTTP 402 again, and an empty body on a direct read — sixty-three days after the first 402 of 25 July 2026; still at risk, because we do not mark a firm dead on suspended hosting alone. Hypernova: payout reserve $600,015 on Arbitrum (cold reserve + operational vault), down $358,384 (37.4%) from the $958,399.39 of 15 September, against $1,003,923 paid out over the trailing 30 days on the same page; lifetime payouts $1,190,239 across 219 recipients, 94 funded traders, and a pass rate the firm now publishes itself at 22.6% (718 of 3,180 resolved assessments). We did not trace the reserve outflows and read no cause into them. Propr: offer unchanged at up to $300,000 and an 80% split, with the operator named in the footer disclosure (Propr Limited, Reg. No. 2211330, Road Town, Tortola, BVI). No firm changed status. Because the pass was partial, the full hand-verification date stays at 15 September 2026.
Hypernova reserve down $169,194.50 in four days: $958,399.39 (15 Sep) → $789,204.89 (19 Sep)
Daily 03:00 UTC on-chain readings of Hypernova's payout reserve on Arbitrum (vault + reserve wallet): $958,399.39 on 15 September, $925,592.74 on 16 September, $870,858.82 on 17 September, $849,504.79 on 18 September, $789,204.89 on 19 September 2026 — a fall of $169,194.50, or 17.7%, in four days. The reserve wallet moved from $931,255.04 to $758,255.04 in that window; the operational vault stayed between $14K and $31K. We did not trace the destinations of the outflows and we are not reading a cause into them: a reserve that pays traders goes down when traders get paid, and it also goes down when a treasury moves money. Status unchanged: active. Every reading, with its block number, is on the reserve tracker.
Correction: three days of false 'no DNS record' readings withdrawn — full hand re-check of all 10 firms, no status change
From 13 to 15 September 2026 our automated daily sweep recorded 'dns: no-record' for every tracked domain, live firms included, and that reading reached registry.json and the register table. It was false: the sites were up. The cause was our resolver call (Node's dns.resolve4, which talks to DNS servers directly) failing on the machine that runs the sweep while ordinary HTTPS requests succeeded — a tooling fault on our side, not a change at any firm. Fixed the same day: the sweep now falls back to the operating-system resolver, aborts when a known-good name fails to resolve, and refuses to write a run in which every domain came back dark. The false readings were discarded and all 10 pages were re-read by hand in a browser on 15 September 2026: no status changes. FundedPoly now serves Vercel's 'This deployment is temporarily paused' page (seven weeks after its first HTTP 402); gtfunded.xyz is still a waitlist landing page; the other eight are up. As always, no verdict moved on an automated reading.
Full registry re-verification — all 10 firms re-checked, no status change
Full DNS + HTTP + manual page re-check of the 10 tracked crypto prop firms, closing the gap since the 10 August verification (the daily automated monitoring ran throughout; this entry publishes it). No status change: GT Funded remains dark on its original domain with a waitlist landing on gtfunded.xyz, FundedPoly still serves HTTP 402 DEPLOYMENT_DISABLED, everyone else resolves and responds. Also folded into the record: the two Hypernova reserve readings below, which our internal log carried but this public changelog had not yet published.
Hypernova reserve read at $744,569.83 — down $116,947.51 in six days, including a round $128,000 outflow
On-chain reading of 31 August 2026, 03:18 UTC: Hypernova's payout reserve stands at $744,569.83 on Arbitrum (vault $27,174.79 + reserve wallet $717,395.03), down $116,947.51 from the 25 August top-up level. The reserve wallet's outflow includes an exactly round 128,000.00 USDC movement, which reads like a treasury operation rather than payout flow; we did not trace its destination. Over the same window the site's lifetime-payouts counter rose $108.4K, which accounts for most of the fall but not all of it (~$8.5K untraced). The homepage displayed $765.5K for a reserve the chain puts at $744.6K.
Hypernova reserve topped up to $861,517.34 — up ~$117K on the 17 August reading
On-chain reading of 25 August 2026: Hypernova's payout reserve stands at $861,517.34 on Arbitrum (Vault + reserve wallet), up from $744,562.56 on 17 August — a top-up of roughly $117K. Status unchanged: active. Recorded here because a reserve that moves both ways, with dated readings, is the whole point of tracking it on-chain rather than trusting a homepage counter.
Correction: Carrot Funding reclassified active — our 10 Aug 'dead' verdict checked the wrong domain
On 10 August we classified Carrot Funding dead because carrotfunding.com 302-redirects to a HugeDomains parking page. That was the wrong domain: the firm brands itself carrotfunding.io and is fully operational there — challenge checkout live ($5K to $100K), 80% split, USDC payouts on Arbitrum with published transaction hashes. Status corrected to active, checked 15 August 2026. Two lessons enter the methodology: a death verdict must name the exact domain checked, and we search a firm's socials and docs for alternative official domains before classifying. Separately noted: Carrot's advertised ceiling is now $100K, down from the $500K seen in July, with no announcement.
Hypernova re-checked: public launch announced 14 August, reserve read at $746,229.76
Full re-check of Hypernova. On 14 August 2026 its founder announced the public launch: the invite-only beta is over and the checkout is open on app.hypernova.xyz, with pricing published ($120/$275/$365 on the 25K account, read 16 August 2026). Our on-chain reading of its payout reserve on Arbitrum: $746,229.76 (Vault + reserve wallet), down about $24.3K in a week; the homepage's rounded ~$750.9K counter no longer matches the chain to the cent. Status unchanged: active.
Full registry re-check: GT Funded reclassified relaunching (unproven), FundedPoly still 402
Second dated pass over all tracked firms. GT Funded: the original gtfunded.com has had no DNS record since June 2026; a new site on gtfunded.xyz is a waitlist landing page whose own figures contradict each other ($250K in the hero, $500K in the how-it-works, plus a '100% profit split' tier with no stated revenue model) — reclassified from dead to relaunching (unproven), which still counts as gone dark: the platform that took traders' money no longer exists and nothing addresses their accounts. FundedPoly: fundedpoly.com returned HTTP 402 DEPLOYMENT_DISABLED (Vercel) on 25 July and again on 10 August — at risk. Solana Funded and HyperPNL re-checked active with quietly reduced offers (ceiling $100K vs $250K advertised in July; $200K tier removed, respectively).
Proof: gtfunded.com — DNS: no record (checked 2026-08-10) · https://gtfunded.xyz/ · fundedpoly.com — HTTP 402 DEPLOYMENT_DISABLED (checked 2026-07-25 and 2026-08-10)
Registry opened: 10 crypto prop firms under dated DNS/HTTP monitoring
First dated checks recorded for the crypto prop firm status registry: every tracked firm — living ones included — gets DNS resolution, HTTP status and a manual read of the live page, each check dated. GT Funded entered as dead: all its domains stopped resolving in June 2026 with no statement and no wind-down for funded traders. The registry's rule from day one: no firm is marked dead on a rumour, and no past verdict is ever silently edited.
Proof: gtfunded.com — DNS: no record since June 2026
