Reputation across firms
Your track record as a trader is tied to your wallet, not to any single firm. This is one of the more distinctive protocol-wide mechanics, and it exists specifically because DecentralProp is many firms on one shared engine, not one company you build a relationship with.
How standing is earned
Every wallet has a standing, based on clean completed payouts, how long the wallet has been active, and real trading activity, tracked across every firm that wallet has ever used:
| Standing | How you get there | What improves |
|---|---|---|
| New | Starting point, no completed payouts yet | Baseline caps and cooldowns |
| Building | A first clean payout, a few days and some real trading activity behind it | Meaningfully looser caps, shorter cooldowns |
| Proven | Several clean payouts, weeks of activity | Full standard caps, short cooldowns |
| Trusted | A double-digit run of clean payouts, months of activity | Higher single-payout caps, faster cooldowns |
| Elite | A long, sustained track record | The loosest caps and fastest cooldowns the protocol offers |
Standing also affects how many funded accounts you're allowed to hold at once, from 3 at New up to 12 at Elite, again counted across every firm, not per firm.
It follows you, deliberately
Because standing is resolved by wallet address, not by firm, a track record you build on one firm carries over the moment you try another. You don't start over as an unknown quantity every time you evaluate with a new firm. This is a genuine benefit of the protocol being shared: loyalty to the protocol is rewarded, not loyalty to one specific storefront.
Flagged: the one tier you can't earn your way into
If a wallet trips an integrity concern, most commonly patterns that look like coordinated hedging or copy-trading across accounts, it drops to a sub-baseline tier: stricter than even a brand-new wallet, on every lever. Two things worth knowing about it:
- It's wallet-global. A flag on one firm follows the wallet everywhere, moving to a fresh firm doesn't reset it.
- It's recoverable, not a permanent record. It isn't a conviction. Standing recomputes from scratch the moment the underlying concern clears, and a wallet returns to whatever tier its real history supports.
Why fragmenting into new wallets doesn't help
Because both the earned tiers and the Flagged tier are wallet-global, splitting activity across many fresh wallets to dodge a cap or a flag just means every one of those wallets starts back at New, with none of them ever accumulating enough history to reach the looser tiers. Building one real track record is the only path to better terms.
