How payouts work at Drift Fund — and why every one is on-chain

Drift Fund Team · August 24, 2026

A prop firm's payout page is where marketing usually does the heavy lifting. We prefer arithmetic and receipts. Here is exactly how money leaves Drift Fund and reaches a funded trader — and how you can verify that it does, without trusting us.

When you can withdraw

A funded account can request a payout once three conditions hold:

  • profit is at least +3% above the starting balance;
  • the account is at least 14 days old (the clock restarts after each payout);
  • you have traded on at least 5 separate days in the current cycle.

There is one more gate worth knowing in advance: the consistency rule. Your best single day may not exceed 40% of your winning days' total. It never closes an account — it only delays the withdrawal until profit is spread across more days.

The split

You keep 90% of what you withdraw, or 100% if you purchased the profit-split add-on at checkout. The remainder is the firm's share. There are no processing fees layered on top and no minimum beyond the 3% threshold itself.

The timeline

Requests are reviewed and paid within 24 hours, in crypto — USDT or USDC, to your own wallet address. After the payout, the account rebases: the balance returns to its starting level and a new cycle begins.

The part most firms skip: proof

Every completed payout produces a blockchain transaction hash, and we publish it. On our homepage you will find the payout ledger — each entry links directly to Tronscan or Etherscan, where the transfer is visible on-chain: amount, time, destination.

This is deliberately not screenshots. A screenshot proves someone owns an image editor. A transaction hash proves value moved, publicly, on infrastructure we do not control. When we say a trader was paid $8,148.95, you can watch that exact transfer confirm on the TRON network yourself.

Why we built it this way

The prop-firm industry has a trust problem, mostly earned. The firms that deserve trust can do something the others cannot: point at an immutable public record and say check. We would rather compete there than in adjectives.

If you are evaluating any funded-account firm — including us — ask one question: can I independently verify a payout happened? If the answer is no, price that in.

Trade our capital, keep up to 100% of the profit.
