The split
Both firms offer a very similar starting point for profit sharing:
- FFOne Perps: Includes an 80% profit split by default. You can purchase a 90% split add-on at checkout; the price depends on your specific account configuration.
- Hypernova: Also starts with an 80% profit split. A 90% split add-on is available for an additional 15% of the base assessment fee.
How often you can withdraw
The speed of access to your money is where the two models diverge:
- Hypernova: Offers "On demand" payouts, 24/7. There is no waiting period or minimum trading days required. Once you close your positions, the settlement occurs in seconds.
- FFOne Perps: Allows one request per day starting from the first funded day. However, payouts are not instant; they require staff approval and are usually processed within 24 hours.
Minimums and methods
- Hypernova: Has no minimum withdrawal amount as long as the account is in profit. They pay exclusively in Crypto (USDC via Arbitrum), and the firm covers the gas fees.
- FFOne Perps: Requires a minimum of $100 gross per request (which nets you $80 at the standard split). They use Rise as their primary payout processor, which requires identity verification before the first disbursement.
What delays a payout
Beyond the technical processing time, certain rules can block or postpone your profit:
- FFOne Perps: News trading is prohibited on funded accounts according to the TruTik list, and breaches are reviewed manually. Additionally, after each payout, the "retained profit" becomes a permanent buffer, and the drawdown floor moves up to the starting balance for good.
- Hypernova: Requires a Sumsub KYC process and a wallet signature of the agreement before activating the funded account. They also have an inactivity rule: the account is frozen if no trades are placed for 3 months.
- Consistency: Neither firm enforces a formal consistency rule (like the 30% rule), but FFOne Perps notes that an accepted request raises the drawdown floor even if the payout is later rejected.
What it takes to get there
To reach the funded stage, you must navigate their evaluation phases and technical environments:
- Price and Phases: Both use a 1-step evaluation model. For a $10,000 account, FFOne Perps prices range from $33 to $131 depending on the chosen drawdown and profit target. Hypernova charges between $50 (Precision) and $150 (Standard) for the same size.
- Platforms and Assets: FFOne Perps uses the TruTik builder and limits trading to Crypto Perpetual contracts. Hypernova uses a proprietary platform and allows trading in Crypto, Stocks, ETFs, Commodities, Indices, and Forex.
- Trading Styles: Hypernova is more flexible, allowing news trading and self-built bots. FFOne Perps officially bans bots and EAs (except through a specific API) and has stricter limitations on news trading for funded traders.
Which pays out more comfortably
Hypernova offers a more frictionless payout experience for traders who value speed and flexibility. With no minimum withdrawal amount and 24/7 instant settlements via USDC, it is ideal for those who want to realize small profits immediately.
FFOne Perps is better suited for traders who prefer the legal framework of a US-based firm and the Rise payment ecosystem, and who are comfortable with a 24-hour manual approval process and a $100 minimum threshold.
Frequently asked questions
Which firm is cheaper to start a $5,000 evaluation, FFOne Perps or Hypernova?
The cost depends on the risk settings you choose. At FFOne Perps, a $5,000 evaluation can cost as little as $25 for a high-difficulty setup (12% target, 3% drawdown) or up to $69 for a more flexible one. At Hypernova, the $5,000 account ranges from $25 (Precision plan with 3% drawdown) to $80 (Standard plan with 7% drawdown). Essentially, both firms start their pricing at the same $25 floor.
Which firm allows you to receive your money faster, FFOne Perps or Hypernova?
Hypernova is significantly faster, offering instant settlements in seconds, 24/7, directly to your crypto wallet. FFOne Perps processes payouts through Rise, and while they allow daily requests, each one requires manual approval by their team, which typically takes up to 24 hours.
Does FFOne Perps or Hypernova have more restrictions on news trading?
FFOne Perps has more restrictions; while news trading is allowed during the evaluation, it is prohibited on funded accounts according to the TruTik rules. Hypernova, on the other hand, explicitly allows news trading across all its account types, including funded ones, without manual review delays.
What is the difference in drawdown rules between FFOne Perps and Hypernova?
Both firms use a static drawdown floor, meaning the limit does not trail your balance upward as you make profits. However, at FFOne Perps, the floor moves up to the starting balance permanently after your first payout. At Hypernova, the floor remains static based on the initial balance, but they recalculate a daily loss limit at 00:00 UTC based on the balance at that moment.
