The ranking, Trust Score descending (grid of 10 September 2026)
Every firm we score sits in the table below, sorted by total, highest first. The total is the weighted sum of five criteria, and the Status column says whether we paid for an account or only read the documentation.

Propr.xyz vs Hypernova: how we split the top two
One point separates them, for opposite reasons. On automation Propr is the more permissive of the two — its comparison line reads “Allowed — open API” against Hypernova's “No bot restrictions (published)” — and the two payout rails differ in kind: USDC on-chain · median 12 min (Aug, self-reported) for Propr, Instant · smart contract for Hypernova. Both totals come out of the same five weights, so read how we scored the five criteria before you trust either one.
The other half of the split is what each firm lets you check without asking us. Hypernova pre-funds a payout reserve anyone can read on Arbitrum — $497,973.33 at our reading of 1 October 2026 — while Propr's distributor is funded per payout, so you can audit what has been paid but not what remains to pay with. Against that, both have paid us: 48 Propr receipts and 6 Hypernova withdrawals, each matched to the cent against a public ledger.
Traded by us vs documentation only — and the 85-point cap
4 of the 7 firms here were bought and traded with our own money: Propr.xyz, Hypernova, Carrot Funding, HyperPNL. Solana Funded, Breakout are scored from published documentation only, and a desk-researched score is capped at 85/100 until we trade the firm.
The cap is a ceiling, not a penalty: every firm marked “Docs only” above already scores below it on its own evidence, so lifting the cap today would move nothing. What the cap prevents is a firm we have never paid reaching the top of a table whose whole claim is first-hand verification.
What each firm actually pays, and how we checked it
Each firm's payout rail is in the table above, in the firm's own terms. Ours is arithmetic: the 54 payouts we verified on-chain are published one transaction hash at a time — 48 from Propr on Ethereum, 6 from Hypernova on Arbitrum, every receipt fetched from a public RPC and matched to the cent.
Propr paid $7,670.94 across those 48 requests, read on 19 September 2026; Hypernova paid 1,932.09 USDC across 6. Carrot Funding publishes hashes that do settle, but we have taken no payout from it, so its row tells you it is payable — not that it has paid us.
Hypernova payout reserve: $497,973.33 in USDC on Arbitrum, read 1 October 2026 (block 510609836) — every dated reading: Hypernova reserve tracker.
The firm that died: GT Funded
GT Funded advertised the best headline numbers in the category, then went dark in June 2026 with no statement and nothing for its funded traders. Its domains were re-checked by DNS and HTTP on 1 October 2026, and every dated check is published in the crypto prop firm graveyard.
It stays in the ranking at 18.3/100 instead of being deleted, because a ranking that removes its failures tells you nothing about risk. The graveyard count stands at 1 of the 10 firms we track by name.
How to choose in 2026 (fees, rules, payout rails)
Read three columns before you read the split: what the entry costs, what the rulebook actually says, and how the money leaves. A high advertised split at a firm you cannot audit is worth less than a lower one that settles to a hash you can open. Most of the names above trade on the same venue — Hyperliquid prop firms, checked one by one goes through them individually.
Then read the Offer column for what it is: the discount and the cashback are ours, the fee and the rules are the firm's. Neither buys a point on the grid, and the affiliate disclosure sits under every CTA at the moment you click it.
Tracked but not scored — eight names we check and date without giving them a number, because we have not bought them or because they are not funded accounts at all: DojiFunded · PropMarket · PolyFunded · Vanta Trading · Hyperstack · DecentralProp · FUNDED by Foxify · FundedPoly.

We bought the challenge at the public price, traded it and requested payouts. Firms we only read from their documentation are marked “Docs only” and capped at 85/100 until we trade them.

No. Sponsorship buys a labelled placement, never a point. The five criteria and every sub-score are published on the Trust Score page so anyone can recompute a total.
