Our mission
Choosing a prop firm means paying a fee up front and trusting rules and payouts you cannot see. Our mission is to put all our services at the disposal of prop trading enthusiasts, so they can choose prudently, with real data in hand.
We want to be a source of help in the prop firm world: clear tools, verifiable sources and answers when something is unclear, whether you are buying your first challenge or comparing your tenth.
What we offer
Today every tool is free to use and built on the same verified data.
Challenge comparison
Prices, targets, drawdown and profit split side by side, read from the official websites.
OpenHow we work
Four rules, the same for every prop firm and every number.
- Step I
Read at the source
We read challenge prices and rules from the prop firms’ official websites and keep the date of each reading.
- Step II
Verified on-chain
We verify payouts from public blockchain nodes, and only on wallets that the prop firm itself has published.
- Step III
Checked by a reviewer
We watch the official pricing and rules pages. A reviewer confirms every change before it is published.
- Step IV
Nothing estimated
We show what we cannot prove, too: a missing figure stays missing and is never estimated.
How we are funded
How we make money today
- PropArena has no revenue today.
- No prop firm pays us to be listed, for its position or for a rating.
- No affiliate links and no discount codes of our own: prices are list prices.
What we never do
- We don’t sell ranking positions: the order depends only on the criterion you choose (price, split, target…).
- We don’t publish anonymous reviews or our own ratings of prop firms.
- We don’t call an outflow a “payout” unless it is matched to a payment.
- We don’t ask for seed phrases or private keys: we only read public addresses.
If revenue arrives in the future
Any commercial relationship with a prop firm will be disclosed on this page and next to the affected figure, with its start date. No compensation can affect the comparison order or the evidence level.
What is a prop firm?
A prop firm (proprietary trading firm) gives you a funded trading account after you pass a paid evaluation, called a challenge. If the funded account makes a profit, you keep a share of it, set by the profit split.
Do prop firms actually pay?
Some do, and part of it can be checked. In the Payout Arena you can see the payouts of each prop firm, read on the blockchain. Bank and card payouts leave no public trace, so no on-chain proof does not mean no payout.
How much does a prop firm challenge cost?
You can find the price of every challenge on PropArena, read from the official websites, together with the discount code when there is one.
How do you verify payouts?
We read each transfer from a public blockchain node: network, token, amount, sender and status. It counts as a payout only if the wallet is published by the prop firm and the transfer matches a payment the firm lists, or an event of its payout contract.
What can’t on-chain proof show?
It shows that money left an official wallet, not a prop firm’s total payouts. Bank and card payments, Rise internal ledger moves and unpublished wallets stay invisible, so missing proof is not proof of non-payment.

Write to us for corrections, sources or questions. A prop firm or a trader who believes a figure is wrong can send the correct value with the official source: if it holds up, we fix the figure and record the change in the public corrections log.
