Found a trader you want to fund?

  1. Click Create Proposal on the trader's profile

  2. Set your terms:

Capital Amount

  • Minimum: 1,000 USDC (typical)

  • Your USDC will be locked in a smart contract vault

  • Cannot be withdrawn early except by mutual agreement

Profit Share

What percentage of profits you'll receive.

  • Standard split: 20% to investor, 80% to trader

  • Negotiable: Adjust based on trader experience

  • Losses are borne by your capital (trader has no downside)

Risk Limits

Max Drawdown - Maximum total loss from initial capital

  • Example: 20% max drawdown on 10,000 USDC = vault auto-pauses at 8,000 USDC

  • Typical range: 15-30%

  • Higher limit = more risk, more potential return

Daily Drawdown - Maximum loss in any 24-hour period

  • Example: 5% daily drawdown = vault pauses if loses 500 USDC in one day

  • Typical range: 3-10%

  • Protects against single catastrophic days
