How do payouts compare?

E8 Pro allows a payout request every day in the Performance stage once you have at least 1% of the initial balance in profit, with a $100 minimum payout. Each payout is calculated in two steps: 50% of total profits becomes the requestable amount, then you receive up to 100% of that depending on your plan, while the rest stays in the account as a drawdown buffer. E8 reports median times of 11 hours to approval and 24 hours to funds received (January to May 2026), paid through WorkMarket, Rise or Aeropay; there is no direct crypto payout.

Propr pays a flat 80% with no scaling tiers, on demand, in USDC onchain, and says payouts settle in minutes (site-reported median of 8 minutes 11 seconds). Every payout appears live on its public transparency dashboard, and its reserve sits in public onchain wallets anyone can check.

Which rules catch traders out?

E8 Pro's 8% target comes with a 2% daily profit cap, so passing takes at least 4 winning days even though there is no consistency rule. The 8% static drawdown never trails, but it moves to your initial balance level when your first payout is processed, which tightens the room left. You must place and close at least one trade every 60 days, and Perpetual Futures accounts are netting-only.

Propr's Bronze Classic card lists a 10% target, a 3% daily loss limit, a 6% static drawdown and a maximum of 6 open positions, with no time limit, no consistency rule and no minimum days. Leverage tops out at 10x on equity and index perps, 8x on commodities and 5x on major crypto. Every rule change lands in a public changelog, and active funded accounts keep the rules in place when they were opened.

How do the funded accounts differ?

E8's SimFi Performance stage keeps the same 2.5% daily drawdown and 8% static drawdown, with daily payout requests as described above. Perpetual Futures run on E8 Terminal with a Hyperliquid data feed.

Propr lets you hold up to $300,000 in funded capital across multiple accounts, keeps the same two equity limits from the challenge, and offers REST, Python and JS interfaces for algo trading. Payouts settle onchain where anyone can verify them.
