Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Propr is a crypto proprietary trading firm built onchain on Hyperliquid. Traders pay a one-time, non-refundable evaluation fee to take a challenge account; if they reach the profit target without breaching two equity limits (a maximum daily loss and a maximum drawdown), they receive a funded account with no profit target and keep 80% of the rewards they generate. Funded traders can hold up to $300,000 in allocated capital at once across multiple accounts, and the firm advertises 160+ perpetual markets on Hyperliquid spanning crypto, equities, indices and commodities, with prediction markets on Polymarket listed as a forthcoming account type. Payouts are on demand, settle in USDC onchain within minutes, and are displayed on a public transparency dashboard.

The rulebook governs Classic 1-Step, Turbo 1-Step, Pro 1-Step and Classic 2-Step evaluations across account sizes of $5,000 to $200,000. Fees range from $25 (Turbo $5,000) to $1,998 (Classic $200,000). One-Step accounts carry a 3% daily loss limit measured against start-of-day balance and a static maximum drawdown of 3% (Turbo), 5% (Pro) or 6% (Classic); Classic 2-Step accounts use a 5% daily loss limit and an 8% trailing drawdown that resets after a payout and never rises above the starting balance. Profit targets are 9% (Turbo), 10% (Classic), 12% (Pro) and 5% then 10% for the two-step path. There are no time limits, minimum trading days or consistency rules, and a breach ends the account without the trader owing losses. Leverage is capped at up to 10x on equity and index perps, 8x on commodities and 5x on major crypto. A one-time KYC check is required before rewards are enabled.

Propr also positions itself for algorithmic and agent-based trading, offering a REST API with Python and JavaScript SDKs; the site cites over 300 API users or agents. It frames transparency as a core mechanic: trades are labelled A-book or B-book with the split published in real time, hedging wallets are public, rule changes are logged in a dated public changelog, and active funded accounts remain governed by the rules in force at activation.

Founding story

Propr was founded by Louis Regis, who serves as CEO and publicly documents the build. The founding profile cited by the company includes prior roles as a risk quant at Credit Suisse and crypto lead at Rothschild & Co, a top-10 finish in ByBit's WSOT trading competition, and early power use of Hyperliquid.

Business model

Traders pay a one-time, non-refundable evaluation (challenge) fee to attempt a funded-account qualification; Propr retains the fee regardless of outcome and, on funded accounts, keeps 20% of trader gains while the trader keeps 80%. The firm also decides whether to mirror a trader's signals onchain (A-book) or take the other side internally (B-book), and hedges its own risk onchain.

Evaluation fees ranging from $25 to $1,998 depending on account size and challenge type, plus a 20% share of funded-trader rewards.

Traction

The website cites 160+ tradable perpetual markets, over 300 API users or agents, funded capital allocations of up to $300,000 per trader, and a 4.5 rating based on 54 reviews. Live counters for active traders, 30-day payouts, median payout time and countries served are published on the site's transparency dashboard. The company has been featured by CryptoSlate.

Latest developments

Prediction market accounts on Polymarket are marketed as coming soon alongside the live perpetuals product, and a $1.5m seed round at a reported $17.5m valuation is dated February 2026.

β–ΈFull profile β€” market position, technology, go-to-market, history, risks & controversies

Market position

Operates in the proprietary trading firm sector, specifically the crypto-native segment built on Hyperliquid and DeFi rails. The wider prop firm industry has seen substantial attrition, with more than 50 firms reported to have ceased operations in 2024 and continued closures through 2025 and into 2026, a context in which Propr markets onchain verifiability as a trust mechanism.

Positioning rests on verifiability and rule stability relative to conventional prop firms: onchain settlement of payouts, public hedging wallets, real-time publication of A-book/B-book splits and platform metrics, a flat 80% reward split with no scaling tiers, no time limits or minimum trading days, and a dated public changelog with active funded accounts grandfathered under the rules in place at activation.

Technology

The platform is built on Hyperliquid for perpetual futures execution, with prediction market access on Polymarket planned. Core operations are designed to be verifiable onchain: trade copying decisions and A-book/B-book labelling are published in real time, hedging wallet addresses are public, and payouts settle in USDC onchain. Programmatic access is provided via a REST API and Python and JavaScript SDKs for algorithmic strategies and trading agents. Risk controls are equity-based and evaluated in real time, including floating P&L, with a daily loss limit recalculated at 00:00 UTC and static or trailing maximum drawdown floors.

Go-to-market

Direct self-serve sign-up on the website for paid challenges and a free trial tier, supported by a 24/7 Discord community, a public real-time data and payout dashboard, founder-led building in public, and developer documentation for API and SDK integration.

Retail and semi-professional crypto derivatives traders seeking external capital without a personal deposit, including discretionary traders, scalpers and swing traders, plus algorithmic traders and operators of automated trading agents who integrate through the API.

History

Propr was built by XBorg, a startup studio, and is backed by SwissBorg, a European crypto wealth platform. A $1.5m seed round is reported for February 2026.

Risks & controversies

The prop trading sector in which Propr operates has experienced heavy attrition and trust failures: industry sources counted at least 50 firms ceasing operations in 2024, with cases involving denied payouts, insolvency, platform-license withdrawals and regulatory action against other firms. Evaluation fees at Propr are non-refundable once an account is activated, and breaching either equity limit permanently terminates an account with no reset or appeal.
