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.
How firmly each firm is identified
The chain records which contract paid. It never records who owns it — so tying a contract to a firm is a separate claim, and the mappings behind this board did not all arrive the same way. Rather than present them as equally solid, each firm carries where it stands:
- Verified
- This firm publishes its settlement address itself, and it matches what we index.
- no badge
- The settlement address is consistent with everything on the chain, but we have not had it confirmed by the firm.
- Unconfirmed
- We can follow this contract's settlements precisely, but we have not confirmed which firm operates it.
Most of the board is the middle case, which is why it carries no badge — a mark on every row is furniture. The two ends are the ones worth stopping on, and the direction of travel is toward the top one: a firm that publishes its settlement address, or confirms the one we hold, moves up the moment we can check it.
None of this is about the transactions themselves. Every figure is a sum over settlements you can open on Arbiscan, whatever badge the firm carries — the tier says how confident we are about the name on them.
What these figures do not show
- Who was paid — the trader is not identified in the settlement leg, so every figure is a firm-level aggregate.
- How fast a firm pays — requests happen off-chain, so there is no honest way to measure this.
- A firm’s total payouts — we see two Rise tokens on Arbitrum, and firms pay on other rails too. Read every volume as “at least this much”.
- Whether a firm is good — volume is not integrity.
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.
Where the Trustpilot scores come from
Star ratings here are read from each firm’s public Trustpilot page rather than through Trustpilot’s Business Units API, which is the integration we are moving to. Every score carries the date it was checked, so read it as a snapshot rather than a live feed. And unlike a settlement figure, a rating is not something you can verify from this site — which is exactly why it never feeds the Trust Index.
Coverage
We index firms whose Rise contract we have identified, at the standard of confidence shown on each row. Where a firm is on the rail but has nothing in the window you are looking at, it is left off the board instead of shown at zero — a zero reads as “this firm does not pay”, and a quiet fortnight is not that.
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.
