Method
Other sites publish payout totals and ask you to trust them. This page exists so you don’t have to.
Where the numbers come from
Most prop firms settle trader payouts through Rise, which runs on Arbitrum. Each firm settles from a contract we have identified, and we read those token transfers directly from the chain, storing one row per transfer with its transaction hash.
There are two settlement patterns, and both count. On the current RiseUSD contract a payout is a transfer to the zero address — a burn representing settlement out to the trader. On the older RISEPAY contract, firms mostly transferred straight to trader addresses instead. The rail changed over on 21 June 2026. Reading only the newer pattern would zero out every firm that has not migrated, so we index both and exclude transfers between wallets belonging to the same firm, which are internal movements rather than payouts.
Every figure on this site is a sum over rows you can open on Arbiscan. If a number here is wrong, the transactions behind it will show that.
What this data cannot tell you
- Who was paid. The trader is not identified in the settlement leg, so these are firm-level aggregates and never per-trader records.
- How fast a firm pays. A payout request is made off-chain; only settlement is on-chain. We do not publish an average payout time because we cannot measure one honestly.
- Firms that pay by bank transfer. Apex and Topstep, among others, never appear on this rail. Their absence is a fact about the rail, not about them, and we do not rank them below firms that use it.
- Whether a firm is good. Volume is not integrity. A firm can pay a great deal and still treat traders badly.
What the board’s columns mean
Volume is the sum of settlements in the selected period. Chg compares the most recent window against the window immediately before it, and is blank where there is no prior window to measure against — a firm that first appeared this month did not grow infinitely. Prints counts individual settlements. The 21d sparkline is coloured by net direction over that window.
Ticker symbols are ours, derived from firm names so the board stays scannable. Nothing listed here is a tradeable instrument, and the symbols have no standing outside this site.
The Trust Index
A score from 0 to 100 computed only from settlement behaviour we read off the chain: how recently a firm paid, how consistently it pays, which way its volume is trending, and how much history there is to judge it on. It is shown in the same colour as the transaction links, because unlike a star rating it is something you could reconstruct from the same public data we used.
Total volume is deliberately excluded. Large is not the same as trustworthy, and ranking by size would just restate the volume column. Payout count is included only as a confidence weight, so a firm with nine settlements cannot top the table on one good fortnight.
Most firms on the board score above 85, and that is the expected result rather than a broken scale: every firm shown in a trailing window is by definition still paying. The index is built as an early warning, not a league table — its job is to fall sharply when a firm slows down, because firms do not announce that they have stopped paying. Read a low score as a reason to look closer, not a high score as an endorsement.
It is partial. Two further components — whether a firm keeps to its own published rules, and whether the entity behind it checks out — are not built, and are left null rather than guessed at. The score is labelled as partial everywhere it appears.
Community ratings
Star ratings are gamed in this industry. Review bundles are bought, and a firm’s rating often says more about its marketing budget than its conduct. So we carry more than one independent community score, drawn from established review platforms in this sector, and treat the disagreement between them as the more useful signal. Where two crowds differ by two full stars, that gap is worth more than either number on its own.
These are inputs, never the headline. They are marked as opinion rather than record, because unlike the payout figures they are not something you can verify from this site.
They also cover firms we can otherwise say nothing about. FTMO, Topstep, Take Profit Trader and Earn2Trade settle off this rail entirely, so they carry no payout figures here — a community score is the only signal that exists for them.
Trustpilot ratings are provisional
Star ratings shown here were collected for development and are not yet on a supported footing. Trustpilot’s official Business Units API is the route we intend to use; until that is in place, treat these as indicative rather than maintained, and note the date beside each. Unlike the payout figures, a rating here is not something you can independently verify from this site — which is precisely why it does not feed the score we compute.
Coverage and its limits
We index firms whose Rise contract we have identified and confirmed. Coverage is incomplete and we would rather show a short honest list than a long padded one. Where a firm is on the rail but not yet backfilled we leave it off the board instead of showing a zero, because a zero reads as “this firm does not pay” and that would not be true.
How we make money, and what it does not buy
We earn affiliate commission when someone buys a challenge through our links. The board is ordered by settlement volume computed from chain data. No firm can pay for placement, and no commission rate changes a number on this page. Where we hold a commercial relationship with a firm, including common ownership, it is disclosed on that firm’s page.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, it is checkable, which means it is fixable. Point at the transaction and we will correct the record and say what changed.
