About Refract Funding.
Refract Funding is a proprietary-trading challenge for prediction markets: traders prove their edge on simulated Kalshi and Polymarket accounts, and funded traders can earn USDC payouts under the published program rules. refractfunding.com is the official Refract Funding website.
01
A place to prove an edge without staking a trading bankroll
Prediction-market skill is difficult to separate from luck over a handful of trades. Refract Funding gives traders a longer, rule-based simulated environment in which execution, sizing, consistency, and risk control all matter.
Anyone can use the free simulator and competition. A trader who wants to pursue the funded path can buy one Evaluation attempt with a published profit target, trailing drawdown, and consistency rules. Passing is one input to review, not an automatic promise of an account or money.
Passing an Evaluation does not guarantee a funded account or payout; funded access and payouts depend on the program rules, eligibility, identity and fair-play review, regional availability, and approval.
02
What “simulated” means here
Every user order stays inside Refract Funding. The simulator references published Kalshi and Polymarket market data, then models fills against the displayed book rather than awarding every trader an unrealistic midpoint price. Spread, available depth, and applicable modeled fees can therefore affect a simulated result.
Refract Funding is not a brokerage, exchange, sportsbook, or investment adviser. It does not accept a user's trading deposit, custody a user's market stake, or place a user's trade at either venue. The paid Evaluation fee purchases access to a skill challenge; it is not trading capital.
Refract Funding is independent of Kalshi and Polymarket. We display their live market data as a simulation reference; we do not send orders to either venue, and references to their names or marks do not imply endorsement.

Our publishing and product standards
- Rules before promotion. Material targets, limits, review conditions, and payout requirements belong in the public rulebook, not behind checkout.
- Simulation stated plainly. Marketing must not imply that a user's Refract account or trade is live at a third-party venue.
- No guaranteed outcomes. Educational examples and strategy articles explain uncertainty, execution costs, and failure modes.
- Sources and dates. Research articles identify their primary sources, fact-check date, authoring organization, and review cadence.
- Corrections. Product or editorial questions can be sent to support@refractfunding.com.
