Answers for funded traders.

PropDAO is a simulated proprietary trading platform. Traders buy an evaluation, trade simulated capital, and can qualify for a simulated funded account with eligible payouts.

PropDAO is built around fewer restrictions: no KYC, no daily loss limit, no time limit, no mandatory stop-loss, bot support, copy trading between your own accounts, and payouts processed in minutes.

Any trader who purchases an evaluation, follows the rules, reaches the required profit target, and avoids breaching the account can qualify for a simulated funded account.

The vision is to give skilled traders a transparent, crypto-native path to prove performance, manage risk, and access performance-based payouts without arbitrary prop-firm restrictions.

PropDAO does not require KYC. There is no KYC rejection process for evaluations, funded accounts, or eligible payout requests.

You must be old enough to legally use the platform and enter into the applicable terms in your jurisdiction.

Yes. VPN use is allowed.

Evaluation fees are one-time access fees and are not refundable once the evaluation is purchased or used.

No. If an account is breached or fails, the evaluation fee is not refunded.

Normal accounts range from $5K to $200K, and Pro accounts range from $25K to $200K. The exact one-time evaluation fee is listed in the Account Sizes table on the Rules page.

Yes. Multiple evaluations are allowed unless the platform separately limits account quantity or risk exposure.

A breached account is closed and cannot continue trading. Open positions may be closed automatically, and payouts are not available on breached accounts.

No. Evaluations and funded accounts are simulated trading environments using real market data and simulated execution.

The main rules are total loss limit, profit target, approved assets, maximum leverage, payout requirements, and prohibited conduct such as bug exploiting or latency arbitrage.

None. PropDAO does not use a daily loss limit. Only the total account loss limit applies.

The total loss limit is 4% on all accounts except $200K accounts, where it is 3%.

PropDAO uses EOD drawdown, not trailing drawdown. EOD drawdown keeps the account focused on the total loss limit instead of raising the breach line after every intraday high.

EOD drawdown checks the account against its allowed loss floor without moving that floor up after every intraday high. Trailing drawdown follows the account's high-water mark, so profits can raise the breach level and reduce available risk on a later pullback. PropDAO does not use a trailing drawdown floor.

Trading fees are charged on opening only. Fees range from 0.12% at 1x leverage to 0.16% at 5x leverage. There is no closing fee.

There is no daily loss limit. If your account reaches or falls below the total loss limit, the account is breached.

Bug exploiting, latency arbitrage, platform abuse, stale-price exploitation, and attempts to manipulate platform errors are prohibited.

Yes. A position must be held for at least 1 second before it can be manually closed. User-initiated executions must also be spaced at least 0.5 seconds apart.

Copy trading is permitted, including between your own PropDAO accounts. Hedging is allowed as long as it does not involve platform abuse or coordinated rule evasion.

There is no separate risk-per-trade cap beyond the maximum leverage limit for each asset.

Yes. Automated trading, bots, EAs, and AI agents are permitted as long as they follow the rules.

Crypto markets are available 24/7. Other supported assets may follow their underlying market availability.

There is no daily loss limit. After a payout, the account balance resets to the initial funded amount and drawdown limits reset accordingly.

Yes. PropDAO supports listed crypto, stable, equity, index, and metal instruments where available on the Assets page.

Available assets are shown on the Assets page with their market type and maximum leverage.

New assets can be added as market data, liquidity, and risk controls support them. The Assets page is the source of truth.

Evaluations have a one-time purchase fee. Trading has an opening-only fee from 0.12% to 0.16% based on leverage, with no closing fee.

The environment uses real market data to simulate trading. Orders are not routed to external live markets during evaluations.

Orders are filled by finding live market prices from exchanges and executing with infinite liquidity, ensuring there is no slippage.

Limit orders are eligible to fill when market data reaches the submitted limit price and platform execution conditions are met.

There is no slippage.

Orders are either filled or not filled, depending on whether the price passes through the order.

Orderbook and pricing data are intended to reflect current market data. Delayed, stale, or erroneous feed exploitation is prohibited.

Pricing and orderbook data come from external market-data sources used by the platform and are applied inside the simulated execution environment.

There is no minimum payout.

Request a payout from the funded account flow after all positions are closed and eligible profit is available.

A funded account is eligible when it has closed, realized profit above the starting balance and remains compliant with all rules.

Payouts are made on-chain in USDC.

Normal accounts keep 80% of funded-stage profits. Pro accounts keep 90%.

Yes. Each payout sweeps all available profit, resets the account balance to the initial funded amount, and resets drawdown limits accordingly.

No. PropDAO does not require KYC for eligible payouts.

No. Payouts are full profit sweeps only.

The rulebook does not list a separate payout fee. Network or wallet costs may still apply outside the platform.

You are responsible for understanding and paying any taxes that apply in your jurisdiction.

Check that the request was approved, your wallet details are correct, and the transaction has been processed on-chain. If it still has not arrived, contact support with the account and payout request details.
