Trade2Earn sits on a conventional 8%/5% two-step
BrightFunded is Amsterdam-based, founded 2023, $495 on $100K. The evaluation is a 2-Step: 5% daily, static 10% from initial, 8% then 5% targets, five minimum days, no consistency rule on the standard 2-Step, overnight and weekend holding allowed. Reset is 00:00 CE(S)T. Daily basis is the higher of day-start balance or floating equity. Split is 80% base, scaling toward 100% at the third scale-up. Payouts every 14 days, or 7-day weekly with an add-on. Platforms: MT5, cTrader, DXtrade.
Tokens on losers are still lots against 5%
Trade2Earn credits closed volume, including losers. That design is honest about what it wants: activity. A trader who needs 0.8 lots of actual edge might run 2.4 lots of noise to farm a free retry. Each extra clip still has a stop. Three extra 0.6% stops are 1.8% of the 5% daily hole for tokens you could have bought with cash by not failing. The primary trap is exactly that: overtrading extra lots to farm tokens and breaching the 5% equity-anchored daily limit.
Static 10% ($10,000 on $100K) is real breathing room, same family as FTMO 2-Step. Five minimum days stop a one-day 8% hero pass. Funded 5-minute news is the switch you will forget if evaluation allowed the print. Weekly 7-day payouts via add-on are optional. Default 14-day is enough if you are not also farming tokens into the daily line.
CE(S)T higher-of, not a second Prague FTMO clone
The clock looks like FTMO because both use CE(S)T. BrightFunded's daily basis is the higher of day-start balance or floating equity, which is closer to FundingPips than to FTMO's day-start-plus-float wording. Treat a large overnight winner as raising tomorrow's 5% hole. Partial before 00:00 CE(S)T when gold float is fat. Do not assume FTMO Standard news rules: BrightFunded evaluation allows news, funded does not inside 5 minutes.
Scaling to 100% split at the third scale-up is the cash reason to stay alive. Token farming that dies at 5% daily never sees that third scale-up. Size 0.40% to 0.55% per idea. Let tokens accrue on trades you would have taken anyway. A free challenge earned by blowing a live one is not free.
Cap lots even when tokens look hungry
Set Venasri Equity Guard near $4,250 daily on $100K. Add a daily lot ceiling so Trade2Earn cannot talk you into a sixth clip. Connect with the ZeroMQ MT5 Bridge so CE(S)T equity is what the 3-second poll sees. 24/7 MT5 Bot Control should pause funded entries in the 5-minute news window and should refuse group copy-trading lots.
Keep HFT off. Keep the 2,000-message cap in view if you trail. Static 10% is the lifetime number; 5% is the daily number; tokens are a side ledger. If those three ever compete, daily 5% wins. The 100% split at scale-up three only pays traders who treated tokens as a souvenir.
