You passed. Now what?

You passed an evaluation, traded the funded account, earned a payout, and requested it. It arrives in your wallet as the firm's own token rather than as dollars in a bank account.

If your first reaction is that this does not sound like getting paid, that reaction is reasonable and this page is the full answer. Read it before you buy an evaluation rather than after you earn one.

The short version

The token is sellable, immediately, for SOL, from inside the platform. SOL is the thing you can move to an exchange and turn into ordinary money.

So the path from a passed account to money in your bank is four steps:

Request the payout. It arrives in your wallet as the firm's token.
Sell the token for SOL on the firm's own market, from the terminal or the firm's Telegram bot.
Send the SOL to an exchange.
Sell it there and withdraw to your bank.

Steps 3 and 4 are the same steps anyone selling any cryptocurrency takes, and they only apply at mainnet. On devnet today, step 2 gets you test SOL and the chain ends there, because test money does not convert into real money.

Why payouts work this way at all

This is the part that is worth understanding rather than tolerating, because it is the mechanism behind the thing that probably brought you here.

At a conventional prop firm, your payout is a cost. The money leaves and nothing comes back, which is why the incentive to slow-walk it exists at all, and why the industry has the reputation it has.

Here, paying you is a purchase. When a firm pays a funded trader, its treasury buys the firm's own token on the firm's own market and sends you the tokens. The payout is therefore demand for the token, and the operator is paid out of the same event: roughly 6% of your gross profit, in that same token, and exactly zero if you fail instead.

That is the whole reason the operator wants you to win. It is not a promise on a landing page, it is the shape of the transaction. The conflict of interest, removed walks the full split, and is equally specific about where the alignment stops.

Selling the token, concretely

The firm's token trades on a , which is a market built into the firm itself rather than an exchange it had to go and get listed on. It exists from the firm's first day, and it works in both directions: the firm's treasury buys from it to pay you, and you sell back into it.

You can sell from two places:

The trading terminal. The token panel on the firm's page takes an amount and gives you SOL.
The firm's Telegram bot, if the firm runs one, which does the same thing inside a chat. See Trading from Telegram.

Either way it is a wallet-signed transaction that settles in seconds. There is a 1% fee on curve trades in both directions, split between the firm's treasury and the protocol. There is no withdrawal fee anywhere in this, and no separate payout processing fee. The profit split is the only division taken out of what you earned.

Once a firm's token has grown enough to graduate, its market moves to Raydium, a public Solana exchange, and the token becomes tradeable the same way any Solana token is. That widens who can buy it and does not change anything about how you sell.

The risks, stated properly

Being paid in a token is genuinely different from being paid in dollars, and the differences are not all in your favour.

The price moves between earning and selling. A payout is worth what the token is worth when you sell it, not when it landed. If you intend to convert straight to SOL, converting promptly removes this exposure. Holding is a decision to be exposed to the firm's fortunes, and it is a real decision rather than a default.

A young firm's market is thin. Early on, a curve holds relatively little, and selling a large amount into it moves the price down as you sell. The last trade's price is not necessarily the price your sale fills at. This is the single most important thing to check, and it is checkable: the firm's token page shows the depth behind the curve, not just the last print.

The token is the firm. If a firm fails, the protocol's bankruptcy path pays its funded traders in full before anything else happens, so what you are owed is protected. What a wind-down does not do is preserve a market for the token afterward. Holding a firm's token long-term is a bet on that firm.

Nothing here is investment advice. The protocol publishes the mechanics. What the token is worth is your call. Legal & disclosures applies.

How to make this a non-issue

If you want your payouts to behave as much like ordinary money as possible, three habits do almost all of the work.

Pick firms with real depth behind the curve. The firm directory shows payout liquidity against what a firm actually owes, and the whole point of publishing that number is decisions like this one. Choosing a firm covers what else to look at.

Sell promptly unless you have decided to hold. Converting on arrival turns the token into a delivery mechanism rather than a position.

Check what a firm has actually paid before you buy from it, not after. Every settled payout on this protocol carries a transaction anyone can open and read, and a firm's page opens on that ledger. A payout total is a claim. A payout with a transaction behind it is a receipt, and the gap between those two numbers is published for every firm.

Small print worth knowing

Some firms set a minimum payout amount, which is a firm-level policy rather than a protocol rule and is shown on the firm's own storefront.

Your very first payout on the protocol can be advanced immediately rather than waiting out the full settlement window, within tight caps. After that, speed tracks the firm's health: a firm paying from its own solvent treasury clears a withdrawal in well under an hour, and the window only stretches when a firm is leaning on the shared backup layers. Funded accounts & payouts has the mechanics, including where the money comes from when a firm's own treasury is not enough.

A payout can be delayed. It cannot be denied. That distinction is enforced in code rather than in policy, and Trader protections is the page that explains why.
