# What Happens After You Pass Your PolyFundr Challenge

> After passing a PolyFundr challenge, a same-size funded account opens automatically with a 90% profit split, fresh balance, and the same risk rules.

The moment your challenge equity hits the target and your profit is consistent (no single trading day over 30% of your total profit), your challenge passes and a funded account is created automatically. You can start using it right away.

## Your new funded account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Challenge passes">
    Your equity reaches the 30% profit target and your profit is consistent (no single trading day is more than 30% of your total profit). Any open positions on the challenge are automatically closed at that point.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Funded account opens">
    A new funded account is created at the same starting balance as your challenge. For example, if you passed a \$50,000 challenge, you receive a \$50,000 funded account. Challenge trades and funded trades never mix.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start trading">
    Your funded account is active immediately. You trade any live Polymarket market available on PolyFundr, under the same risk rules that governed your challenge.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Request a payout">
    Once your realized profit on the funded account reaches the payout
    threshold, head to the **Payouts** page and submit a request. Payouts are
    sent in USDC on Polygon to the destination wallet address you enter, and
    payout requests follow a progressive cap structure.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Each payout is the lowest of the cap ladder (1st up to \$1,000, 2nd up to
\$2,000, 3rd and later up to \$5,000 gross), half of the eligible profit you
have earned since your last payout, and your eligible net after prior payouts.
A 7-day cooldown applies between payouts, and profit above a cap is not lost: it
stays in the account and remains withdrawable in later windows. See
[Funded payouts](/funded/payouts) for the full rules and worked examples.

Larger accounts still provide more room to trade because drawdown and risk
limits scale with account size, and the ladder grows the longer you trade well.

## Key differences from the challenge

|                    | Challenge            | Funded account                               |
| ------------------ | -------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Purpose            | Prove your edge      | Trade with PolyFundr capital                 |
| Profit split       | n/a                  | 90% to you                                   |
| Payout target      | Pass the challenge   | 30% realized profit after prior paid payouts |
| Drawdown rules     | Same                 | Same                                         |
| Account separation | Separate from funded | Separate from challenge                      |

<Info>
  Your funded account balance starts fresh. Challenge profits are not transferred into the funded account.
</Info>

## Account sizes

Your funded account always matches the size of the challenge you passed. Challenges are sold directly at \$10,000, \$25,000, and \$50,000. \$100,000 and \$200,000 accounts are awarded through competitions and giveaways rather than direct purchase.

<Tip>
  If you want a larger funded account, pass a larger purchasable challenge, or earn a \$100k or \$200k seat through a competition or giveaway.
