PolyFundr vs For Traders
Not really the same product. PolyFundr is a paid funded account with a 90% split and real USDC payouts. For Traders is a free, simulated competition whose prize is a separate CFD challenge, not cash. Use For Traders to practise risk-free, then PolyFundr when you want a real payout — accepting its steep 30% target.
The pick for the highest split on the board (90%) and fast sub-24h USDC payouts, in exchange for the steepest profit target (30%) and a tight daily drawdown.
A free, no-risk way to practise the prediction-markets format, but it is a simulated competition that pays out a CFD challenge rather than real money.

We lean PolyFundr for most traders
PolyFundr leads on the things you feel at payout: a flat 90% split, the most generous we track, and USDC settled in under a day. The catch is the hardest evaluation on the board, a 30% profit target with a 10% daily drawdown, which punishes the slow-resolving theses prediction markets are built around. Like every firm here it is a simulated challenge rather than your own on-chain capital, despite the live-market marketing, and it is brand new with little public payout history, so size your first challenge accordingly.
