Everything You Need to Trade
How the platform works, every product we offer, every trading rule that applies, and what every user must know before they start.
Overview
What is NestFunded?
NestFunded is the first fully decentralized prop firm. You buy a trading challenge, trade with a simulated balance on live markets, and hit your profit target within the rules to qualify for a funded account. Every rule is enforced on-chain, every payout is automated, and no human decides whether you get paid.
Zero KYC
Connect a wallet, trade, get paid. No identity checks, no paperwork, open to anyone anywhere.
Instant Payouts
Smart contracts release payouts automatically once targets are met. No tickets, no manual review.
No Custody Risk
We never hold your funds. Entry fees go straight to treasury via non-custodial smart contracts.

Getting Started
Before You Start
Create your account
Sign up with an email, set a password and complete your registration. You'll be asked to accept the one-time platform agreement before your first trade — it explains the rules you're agreeing to.
Connect your wallet
A Solana wallet is generated for your account on registration. Challenge entry fees are paid in SOL to a deposit address generated per challenge.
Buy your challenge
Pick a tier on the Challenges page and send the entry fee to the deposit address shown. The address stays valid for 30 minutes — once payment confirms, the challenge activates automatically and your clock starts.
How It Works
From Purchase to Payout
Create an account
Sign up with an email, complete your profile and accept the one-time platform agreement.
Choose a challenge tier
Pick from STARTER, PRO, ELITE or MASTER and pay the entry fee in SOL to the deposit address (valid for 30 minutes).
Activate your ticket
Once payment confirms, the challenge goes live and your 30-day window starts. Tickets can be bought now and activated within the year.
Trade & hit the target
Trade live tokens, manage risk and grow equity to the profit target while staying inside every rule.
Get paid automatically
Pass the challenge, request your funded account and receive payouts on-chain. No tickets, no reviews, no waiting.
Trading
Trading on NestFunded
What you trade
You trade tokens on live markets with your challenge's simulated USDT balance. Prices come from live DexScreener feeds, so your fill prices reflect real market conditions. You can buy and sell tokens, open multiple positions across different tokens, and place limit orders that fill when price reaches your level.
How balance works
Your balance is split between cash and open positions. Equity is cash plus the current value of everything you hold, and equity is what all risk rules measure. The peak equity you ever reach becomes your max-drawdown baseline.
Fees
Each buy includes a small fee on top of the position cost. All costs are deducted from your balance at execution and shown in your trade history.
Trading Rules
The Rules That Keep You Funded
These rules are enforced automatically on-chain. Break one and the challenge ends immediately — with a transparent record of exactly why.
Max Drawdown
10%A 10% decline from your peak equity ends the challenge instantly — checked continuously, even with no new trades.
Daily Drawdown
5%A 5% loss against the day's opening equity ends the challenge. The day resets at UTC midnight.
Minimum Days
5 daysYou must trade for at least 5 days before reaching the target. Hitting it sooner is treated as a breach, not a pass.
Inactivity
3 daysNo trading activity for more than 3 days auto-fails the challenge. A day with no trades counts as missed.
Max Hold Time
24 hoursAny position open longer than 24 hours is force-sold at its mark price.
Missed Days
3 maxYou get up to 3 bad days (failed + missed combined) before the challenge is over.
Time Limit
30 daysThe challenge window is 30 days from activation. If you don't pass in time, it expires.
Do's & Don'ts
Platform Conduct
What you should do
- Know your daily target, drawdown limits and remaining days before opening any position.
- Use proper risk management — size positions so one trade can never wipe out your buffer.
- Review the daily drawdown card on the Statistics page before opening new positions.
- Keep the account active — a day with no trades counts as missed, and inactivity ends the challenge.
- Contact support if you hit a technical issue; every challenge is reviewed on its merits.
What you must never do
- Share your account, credentials or wallet with anyone, or trade on behalf of others.
- Place wash, self-dealing or coordinated trades to manufacture volume or P&L.
- Use arbitrage, manipulation or any platform exploit to produce risk-free profit.
- Automate trading with bots or copy-trading tools that bypass the platform rules.
- Exceed the 5% daily drawdown, the 10% max drawdown, or hold positions past the 24-hour limit.
- Use non-public information or external price feeds to gain an unfair edge.
Transparency
Why a Challenge Can End
Every challenge stores a structured failure snapshot — equity, peak, drawdowns, day opening and open positions at the moment of breach — so you always know exactly what happened.
Max drawdown breached
Equity fell 10% from its peak. The breach is measured against the highest equity ever reached, so a new high raises the bar.
Daily drawdown breached
Equity fell 5% against the day's opening balance before the day closed.
Target reached too fast
The total target was hit in under the minimum 5 days. Duration rules exist to reward consistency, not single lucky trades.
Inactive too long
No trades were placed for over 3 days, and the inactivity sweep ended the challenge.
Replaced by a new challenge
Only one challenge may be active per account. Activating a new one fails any other active challenge.
Time window elapsed
The 30-day window ended before the target was reached.
If you believe a challenge ended incorrectly, request a manual review from the Challenges page. Every request is reviewed on its merits with the full on-chain record.
Getting Paid
Payouts & Profit Split
How payouts work
Pass the challenge and request your funded account. Payouts are released automatically by the smart contract at your tier's profit split — 80% to 95% depending on the tier you bought. No tickets, no support queue, no waiting for approval.
Your money stays yours
Challenge fees cover platform access — they are not deposits or investments held on your behalf. Funds move through non-custodial smart contracts, so no counterparty can lock, delay or deny your payout.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is NestFunded really decentralized?
Yes. Challenge rules and payouts are governed by smart contracts and everything is recorded on-chain — no KYC, no custody of your funds, no human gatekeepers on payouts.
Do I need a wallet to trade?
Yes. You pay the challenge entry fee with a Solana (SOL) wallet. Your account is linked to a wallet at registration and trading happens with the simulated balance on your challenge.
What happens after I pay for a challenge?
Your challenge is activated automatically once the SOL deposit is confirmed, and the 30-day window starts. Your deposit address stays valid for 30 minutes — if the payment doesn't land in time the challenge is cancelled and you can start over.
How do the two phases work?
Phase 1 is hitting the total profit target for your tier within the rules. Phase 2 is the consistency window — you maintain discipline and meet the daily/win-rate requirements. After that, your funded account is allocated.
What counts as a "missed" day?
Any trading day where you close flat, or any calendar day with no activity, counts as missed. You're allowed up to 3 bad days (failures + misses combined) across the challenge.
What if I lose?
Every failed challenge stores a structured snapshot — equity, peak, drawdown, day opening and open positions at the moment of breach. You'll see exactly why it ended, and you can request a manual review from the challenges page.
How do I get paid?
Pass the challenge, then request your funded account. Payouts are released automatically by the smart contract at your tier's profit split — 80% to 95% depending on the tier.
Can I buy more than one challenge?
You can buy and hold tickets, but only one challenge can be ACTIVE at a time. Starting a new one fails any other active challenge.
How does the referral program work?
Find your personal referral link in your profile and share it. Friends who sign up through your link (or enter your referral ID) join the platform under your referral.
