Proof Rail Certs · for prop firms & brokers
Proof that's checked, not just hosted.
Turn a payout, a phase pass or a withdrawal into a certificate your trader can share anywhere, and that anyone can verify straight from source, without trusting you or us.
A hosted certificate
- ✕ The firm says the payout happened; the service signs and hosts that claim.
- ✕ Independent hosting of a self-report, a nicer screenshot.
- ✕ Static. If a payout is reversed, the certificate still stands.
- ✕ One skeptical trader asks "how do you know?" and there's no answer.
A Proof Rail record
-
✓ Reconciled against the source, the exchange, the chain, the register, where a connector exists.
-
✓ States its evidence level: what was checked, against which source, at what time.
- ✓ Live and revocable. A clawed-back payout can be revoked; a screenshot can't.
- ✓ Ed25519-signed, with an endpoint anyone can call to verify the signature.
Both cost the same per certificate. Only one of them can answer "how do you know?"
A live certificate, not a mockup
This record is real: signed by the production key, verifiable through the public endpoint, and revocable. It is Proof Rail's own demonstration, so it certifies nothing but itself, and it says so on its face. Yours will carry your brand, your trader and your payout.

Demonstration payout certificate
This is a demonstration certificate. Proof Rail issued it to itself to show what a payout certificate looks like: signed with the production key, carrying a live status that can be revoked, and verifiable by anyone through the signature endpoint. No payout took place and no customer is involved.

01
The difference that pays off
Payout-denial accusations are the tax the whole prop industry pays. A hosted certificate answers them with the firm's own word, signed. Proof Rail answers them with a check: where a source connector exists, the payout or trade is reconciled against the exchange itself, and the certificate is marked
source-verified,
Proof Rail looked, not just listened. Where no source can settle a claim, the certificate says so plainly rather than dressing a self-report up as proof. That honesty is the product: a relying party can act on "we checked this against Bybit," and only shrug at "the firm told us."
02
One POST from your payout flow
From the step that already marks a payout paid, send one authenticated POST /api/v1/records. Proof Rail verifies what it can against the source, signs the record, and delivers a certificate in
your brand,
a public page, a PDF, a QR code and a short code, and emails it to the trader. No new dashboard for them, no screenshots, no support thread. The
developer guide
has the exact call.
03
What you can certify
Phase 1 and Phase 2 passes, funded-account status, payouts, and withdrawals, each a signed record with a live status you control. Today the
Bybit reconciled-trade pilot
verifies a closed trade against the exchange with a read-only key; more exchange and broker connectors follow, and each one moves a claim from firm-reported to source-verified. Until a connector exists for a given source, a firm-reported certificate is issued and labelled as such, never sold as something it isn't.

Every certificate markets you
A Proof Rail certificate is a branded, index-ready public page carrying your logo and your affiliate link, with an optional certificate wall and leaderboard of verified payouts. Every trader who shares a win is doing your acquisition for you, and because the proof resolves from source, it survives the scrutiny that screenshots don't. One converted trader pays for a great many certificates.
05
Priced like an API call
No plan needed. Certs bill per certificate, pay as you go:
your first 100 certificates each month are free, then $0.25 each.
No monthly fee, no seats, no minimum. Want a lower unit rate at volume, continuous monitoring, reviewed verifications or an SLA? Every subscription plan includes Certs, with rates falling to $0.10 at volume.
A certificate reconciled against a source and one that rests on the firm's own report cost the same to issue; what differs is what the certificate can honestly claim, and that is shown on its face. Dedicated exchange connectors are quoted where a firm needs them.
06
Signed, verifiable, revocable
Every record is signed with an Ed25519 key and exposes a signature-verification endpoint, so a viewer confirms authenticity without trusting the firm or Proof Rail. The status is live: suspend, revoke, expire or supersede a certificate with a reason, and the public page reflects it at once. A hosted screenshot of a payout that was later reversed is still out there forever; a Proof Rail certificate can be pulled. Verification that can be withdrawn is verification you can stand behind.
