What PropDNA Verified means
PropDNA Verified is a hybrid standard: a firm must clear measurable data thresholds and pass a documented manual review. It is awarded by PropDNA — a firm cannot buy it, and it is removed if the evidence stops holding. Every verified firm has a public proof page showing exactly why it qualifies.
1. The data thresholds
These are computed continuously from live data — no human discretion:
- Payout-proof reviews — funded traders have uploaded real payout screenshots, verified on approval.
- Payout history — month-over-month payout figures are tracked.
- Rule stability — every rule change is logged; sudden changes lower the score.
- Trader consensus — aggregate rating and review volume from verified members.
2. The manual review
Before the mark is awarded, a PropDNA reviewer confirms and records:
- Company registration / legal entity checked
- Terms & trading rules reviewed for consistency
- At least one payout independently confirmed
- No major unresolved complaints found
The completed checklist and review date are published on each firm's proof page. Where a manual record is still pending, the proof page clearly shows the data evidence only — we never imply a review that hasn't happened.
3. Trust badges & how they're earned
Beyond the core mark, firms earn specific trust badges — each derived from real metrics, shown transparently:
| Badge | Tier | Earned when |
|---|---|---|
| Payout Verified | Standard | Firm holds PropDNA Verified status |
| Speed Payer | Standard | Average payout in 5 days or fewer |
| Full Transparency | Standard | Rules publicly disclosed and source-tracked |
| Top Rated | Premium | 4.5★ or higher across 25+ verified reviews |
| Rule Stable | Premium | No rule changes on record |
| Trust Elite | Elite | PropDNA Trust Score of 90/100 or higher |
What it is not
PropDNA Verified is not a paid placement, not an endorsement of any specific challenge, and not a guarantee of future payouts. It is a transparent, evidence-backed signal — and the underlying proof is always one click away.
