Comparisons

The questions people actually type before they buy an evaluation, answered with what can be checked rather than with what we would like to be true. Each page states where the incumbent model is ahead, because a comparison that wins every row is one nobody believes.

• DecentralProp vs FTMO The structural difference between a prop firm run as a company and one run as programs on Solana: who sets the evaluation rules, who decides whether you broke them, and where a payout's money comes from. Includes what FTMO does better.
• Prop firms that pay in crypto Paying out in crypto and settling on-chain are different things. One changes the rail your money arrives on; the other changes who can stop it. Here is what each one actually buys you, and how to tell which a firm is doing.
• Prop firms with no KYC Why there is no identity document between a passed account and its money on this protocol, what the KYC step was actually doing at a centralized firm, and what has to be true for removing it to be safe rather than reckless.
• Starting a prop firm: what it actually costs The real cost stack behind a prop firm — platform licence, liquidity or simulation engine, payment rails, dashboards, risk staff — against a one-time on-chain launch fee of $1,000 to $50,000 that deploys the whole thing.
• Do prop firms actually pay? Every kind of evidence a prop firm offers that it pays, ranked by how easy it is to fake — from screenshots and Trustpilot to a transaction signature you can open yourself. Plus the exact checks to run before you buy an evaluation.
