How we verify prop firm payouts

What a blockchain-verified payout is

A blockchain-verified payout is a payment that left a wallet we have attributed to the firm and settled on a public blockchain, where we have located the transaction ourselves.

The figure on each firm’s page is the sum of those payouts and nothing else.

What “verified” means on Payout Junction

Verified means one thing on this site: every payout we count has been matched to its own transaction on a public blockchain. Every figure is the sum of those transactions, at the amount that moved on chain, which is what the trader received.

Totals a firm publishes itself can differ from ours. A payout only counts as verified on our platform once we have matched it to its transaction on chain.

How we verify

We identify the wallets a firm pays traders from and follow them on the public ledger. For every outgoing payout we:

• locate the transaction by its hash on the network it settled on
• check the token by its contract
• record the amount in the token’s native units
• record the time the transaction settled

Only then does the payout count.

What isn’t counted

Payouts made by bank transfer, card, or on rails we don’t track are not included. Neither is any payout we cannot locate on-chain ourselves, whatever its source. Each figure is the amount we can prove, not a firm’s total payout volume.

What counts as an on-chain prop firm

An on-chain prop firm runs its payouts and evaluations through public blockchain infrastructure, so its activity can be checked independently.

We check five things for every firm on our on-chain table. To be listed, a firm’s payouts have to be on chain from addresses it has published or confirmed, and it has to pay through a smart contract or record its traders’ evaluations or accounts on chain or through a decentralised network.

Crypto prop firms that simply pay in USDC from a company wallet can still appear in our main table, but aren’t listed as on-chain firms.

Where each figure comes from:

• On-chain – read by Payout Junction directly from the blockchain.
• Network validated – read from a decentralised network’s public data.
• Published by the firm – the firm’s own figure for evaluations, such as a pass rate, with the date we recorded it. We never count a payout a firm only publishes. Every payout we show is checked on chain.

How pass rate is worked out

Pass rate = evaluations passed ÷ evaluations finished (passed or failed).

It isn’t Funded ÷ Started, for two reasons:

• Started includes evaluations still running, which haven’t passed or failed yet. Counting them would make every pass rate look lower than it is.
• Accounts funded in a period mostly come from evaluations started earlier, so the two columns describe different groups of traders.

Hover a firm’s pass rate to see its own counts and source.

FundedHive’s contracts record funded accounts but not failed evaluations, so its pass rate divides accounts funded by evaluations started 29 days earlier, to allow time for them to finish.

FundedHive’s Classic pass rate is read from its on-chain funded certificates, which record the plan, size and dates of each funded account; it is shown all-time, to the date stated.
