How we're funded.
We earn commission when readers sign up for a crypto prop firm challenge through our referral links. This page lists every firm we partner with, the commission structure, and our editorial firewall.
The relationships
We maintain affiliate relationships with the following firms in our coverage. Commission rates vary by firm and are typically 10–20% of the challenge fee, some with lifetime trader-payout components.

Our editorial firewall
Affiliate commission does not enter our rating calculation. Ratings come from four equally-weighted categories based on our own evaluation and Trustpilot data: trading conditions, fee transparency, payout speed, platform UX. Read the full methodology.
When two firms rank adjacent, we pick the one with higher editorial score. Where scores tie, we pick the one that pays lower affiliate commission — we treat that as a tiebreaker in the reader's favor.
What we refuse
- Paid placement on comparison tables or listicles
- Sponsored firm pages or “featured” badges
- Removal of open advisories in exchange for commission
- Banner ads, display network ads, or ads that could affect editorial choice
- Rank-by-commission arrangements where a firm pays to appear higher
When advisories conflict with commission
Crypto Fund Trader is a current affiliate partner. Crypto Fund Trader also has an open advisory on our Scam Watch for retroactive rule application. Both are published openly. We would rather lose the commission than bury the advisory — that is the test of editorial integrity, and we choose integrity.
Interested in our affiliate program?
We don't run an affiliate program ourselves — we are an editorial site, not a network. Prop firm operators interested in being considered for coverage should reach out via contact. Coverage decisions are independent of affiliate economics.
