Most prop firms make money when traders lose. And when someone becomes consistently profitable, they often change the rules, delay payouts, or make withdrawals difficult. That's why Arrash built Vanta Trading to create a prop trading platform that actually supports traders instead of working against them. With Vanta Trading, you get: ➡️ Transparent and verifiable on-chain operations ➡️ 100% of trading rewards paid to traders ➡️ Access to up to $2.5 million in trading liquidity ➡️ A chance for top traders to be A-Booked, something that's never been done before in the prop trading industry. Vanta Trading is leveling up by putting traders first with fair pricing, transparency, and access to real capital. It's easy to see why more than 2,000 traders signed up within just 2 months of launch. Join the future of prop trading👇

Why I built Vanta Trading...I hated how predatory most prop firms are. Their entire business model is basically a casino they profit when traders lose. If you actually get good and start winning consistently? They change the rules, delay payouts, or pull shady moves. And good luck proving it when everything is centralized and opaque.That’s why I created Vanta Trading.We want the best traders in the world. The ones who are actually skilled. We reward them with more capital (up to $2.5M), better pricing, full transparency, and eventually A-book them something no other prop firm has done.Everything is open source, fully verifiable onchain, and we pay out 100% of the rewards to traders.This is how you flip an entire broken industry on its head.Over 2,000 traders have already joined in just 2 months.Ready to trade the right way?

Prop trading is a $10B+ industry in traditional finance. In crypto, it barely exists. Most firms change the rules the moment a trader starts winning. Deny payouts they can't afford. Hide their books.

MUST-WATCH: Why SIG Dominated Options Trading — Explained by an 8-Year Insider Kris Abdelmessih (Kris) spent 8 years trading energy derivatives at SIG, then ran options businesses at Parallax & Prime before founding Moontower —one of the world's most popular newsletters on options & volatility trading. "SIG understood there was an abnormal amount of edge in the market. They came from gambling—sports betting, poker—where edge was tiny. A bookie makes 5% margins. But trading a $2.5 call spread for $2.20 when it's worth $2.50? That's a ridiculous amount of edge compared to gambling, with the same risk distribution." We cover: - Why SIG was called "the evil empire" & how they crushed competitors by trading massive size for tighter spreads - The exact structure of prop shop deals: 50/50 splits, escrow accounts, how you get to 60% then 70% payouts - Why markets look efficient from most vantage points & how trading is ultimately about labor—getting your vantage point close enough that it stops looking random - The tyranny of beta: why the best operator in a melting ice cube business will lose to a mediocre performer in a great market - How to escape the "striver" trap & tune out status optimization (hint: find what you got obsessed with before college applications mattered) - Teaching his 12-year-old options market making & involving his 9-year-old in building a trading card game—scattered cards on the bedroom floor that'll become a finished product Thanks to Kris for the masterclass. Highlights: 02:05 How Kris first recognized real trading edge 04:01 How early market structure created easy edge 05:27 Why improvement in trading comes from hindsight 07:08 The core SIG frameworks that shaped his edge 09:37 Why uncovering edge requires labor and precision 11:02 How informed order flow forces trader humility 12:53 What truly differentiated SIG from competitors 13:23 How SIG built a world-class education pipeline 16:30 How SIG captured edge by refusing to hedge 18:11 How centralized risk controlled exposure and variance 19:09 How SIG used size and spreads to dominate markets 23:20 What Kris learned working with Jason McCarthy 25:40 Why elite traders share extreme competitiveness 26:06 How top performers operate across domains and PM roles 28:22 How Kris transitioned from SIG to prop trading 31:56 What shifting into senior roles taught him about trading 33:46 How Kris built training and feedback systems for traders 35:00 How the backer model works inside prop shops 38:41 How escrow capital protects traders from tail events 41:03 How natural gas options trading changed with regime shifts 42:13 How Kris applies trading edge concepts to life decisions 45:46 Why personal alignment beats chasing status in trading 47:13 How status games distort decision-making for young traders 52:23 Why striver behavior is actually risk management 56:27 How Kris teaches opportunity cost through parenting 1:01:28 How exposing kids to decisions builds intuition 1:04:46 How Kris teaches EV using homemade trading games 1:08:05 How iteration and feedback loops shape real learning

DROPS E27: Ben from Talus Labs: Building the Future of Decentralized AI Agents In this episode Ben breaks down why AI isn’t a bubble, how Talus is redefining on-chain agents, and why optimism is something you earn and not something you just feel. We talk about: - Why AI is not a bubble and how mega-cap tech is funding the next AI wave through massive CapEx - How Talus enables decentralized AI agents that can act and transact trustlessly - The three big crypto × AI intersections: compute, data ownership, and intelligent on-chain workflows - Why AI needs verifiable, censorship-resistant execution layers and why blockchains provide that - Nuclear energy as a prerequisite for AGI-scale compute demand - Why SWE’s object model + parallelization is perfect for autonomous agent payments and priority fees And much more!
