- No minimum payout and a USDC route that is easy to turn into naira on P2P.
- A scaling plan to 100% split, with the account growing by 30% of its original size after each qualifying four-month period.
- Crypto checkout with USDT on Tron, handy when naira cards are refused.

- A higher advertised top split of up to 95%.

How to decide
- Pick the rule set you can follow. If 4% a day feels tight, BrightFunded's Classic or FundedNext's Stellar both give 5%.
- Check how you will be paid. From Nigeria, a crypto payout you can sell on P2P is usually the simplest route.
- Price the plan you will really buy, with whatever code is live that week: BrightFunded's current code.
