Our Mission
Our mission is to give crypto traders a fairer environment to prove their edge and earn funding. With transparent rules, the freedom to trade across leading exchanges, and Swiss-built, crypto-native technology, ZoneX lets traders focus on their edge, and stay in the zone.
ZoneX Terminal
Connect your own account at a supported crypto exchange via API and trade your own crypto through the ZoneX Terminal for free. No Challenge purchase required.

Use the Terminal to trade your own connected exchange accounts or your ZoneX Challenge. Personal-account trades use your own funds; Challenge trades take place in a simulated evaluation environment.
Optional paid premium features are available inside the Terminal. Exchange trading fees still apply.
Connect your trading strategies to eight supported cryptocurrency exchanges through our unified platform — more coming soon.
Connect multiple personal exchange accounts to the Terminal. Each Challenge uses one selected exchange’s market data in a simulated account.

Select your account size, risk parameters and Challenge configuration.
Reach the profit objective while staying within the published risk rules. One evaluation phase, no minimum trading days and no time limit.
After passing, complete verification and account review. Any approved account requires a separate agreement; funding is not guaranteed.
Comparison
Two Challenges can offer the same account size and trade very differently. Compare the rules that actually affect how you trade.
Your best trading day doesn't become a penalty.
Your maximum drawdown is fixed from your initial balance. It never trails upward.
Wait for your setups instead of trading against a clock.

Crypto Fund Trader. * Crypto Fund Trader publishes several programmes: the 1-Phase programme uses a trailing maximum loss while the 2-Phase programme uses fixed daily and overall loss limits. Its crypto evaluation route on Bybit is USDT futures. Splits start at 80% and reach 90% by programme, add-on or scaling. Current entry pricing was not verified at publication.
HyroTrader. * HyroTrader offers alternative drawdown configurations on certain products. Its published consistency rule limits any single day to 40% of the total net result, and splits start at 80% scaling to 90%. Verify current provider terms before purchasing.
BitFunded. * BitFunded publishes several current Challenge formats, including time-limited and unlimited-period programmes, and its documentation does not separate spot from derivative instruments or publish a single fixed consistency percentage. Its advertised $50 entry configuration is not the same product as a standard Challenge.
