Vanta announced it publicly on X, noting the figure is fully verifiable on-chain. The miner profile shows the account, funded at $100K, among the platform’s top performers by net PnL.

What Vanta Is

A simulated prop-style platform built on the Vanta Network (Bittensor Subnet 8, created by Taoshi). Traders pass a one-step evaluation, unlock a scaled account, trade real-time data across crypto, forex, equities, and commodities, and earn weekly performance rewards.

The subnet ranks participants on risk-adjusted metrics like the Sharpe and Omega ratios rather than raw profit, which pushes traders toward sustained quality rather than one lucky streak.

How Vanta Stands Apart From Traditional Prop Firms

Most prop firms still run two-step (or multi-phase) challenges, keep 10–30% of profits, impose trailing drawdowns or consistency rules, restrict news/weekend trading, and settle payouts through opaque, centralized processes that can delay or deny rewards.

Vanta does things way better:

• One-step eval: 10% profit target, 5% static drawdown (no trailing), unlimited time, no minimum trading days.
• 100% reward split: you keep it all.
• On-chain verification: performance and payouts scored by validators, no human discretion to withhold.
• Scale to $2.5M: 5% quarterly return + Sharpe >1 earns free scaling at quarter-end.
• Trader-friendly rules: news and weekend trading allowed; weekly payouts on realized PnL; no consistency rules that punish a good day.
• Aligned incentives: Vanta monetizes network infrastructure (trader signals feed copy-traded models), not by betting against you or selling resets.

How This Trader Pulled Off $120K in Three Days

The trader had already passed Vanta’s one-step evaluation and was running a scaled account funded at a $100,000 level.

Over a three-day window the account posted strong realized profits, and under the current reward structure the projected weekly payout reached $120,000, contingent on the equity holding through the seven-day cycle.

No proprietary (or secret) strategy was involved, and none needed to be, because the point is that the path is open to anyone who passes the evaluation and trades with size.

Every metric behind the claim is recorded immutably on the Vanta Network, so anyone can independently verify it.

Ready to Try Vanta Yourself?

If you’re a skilled trader tired of two-step gauntlets, profit splits that favor the firm, or payout uncertainty, Vanta is worth a serious look.

Start with the evaluation on their institutional-grade platform, trade the markets you already know, and keep 100% (or 200% while the promo lasts) of what you earn.

Current campaigns (as of late August 2026):

• $1M Simulated Account Giveaway: free entry (no purchase), 200 winners get $5K simulated accounts with payout-eligible profits. Enter at vantatrading.io/1m-promo.
