Project Goal:
Trade Signal aims to simplify decentralized finance (DeFi) and make it more accessible to a broader audience. Our primary goal is to introduce the masses to the fundamental concepts of DeFi through an engaging, gamified platform. Users can predict the price movements of various crypto assets and earn rewards, fostering a deeper understanding of the mechanics of crypto trading and DeFi without financial risk. By providing a smooth onboarding process, we aim to build confidence and familiarity with key DeFi functionalities, gradually progressing to more advanced trading features.

Project Value:
By building on the BTTC network, we ensure low fees and fast transactions, making it easier for newcomers to participate without heavy financial burdens. The decentralized nature of the platform ensures that all predictions, outcomes, and rewards are verifiable, creating a fair and trustless environment. Additionally, users can engage with DeFi and learn about wallet connections, making on-chain transactions, and interacting with decentralized protocols in a fun, risk-free way.

Project Test Instructions:
To help the judges and community explore Trade Signal, here are the step-by-step instructions:

  1. Access the platform: Visit our website or use our dApp link. and use a BTTC-compatible wallet (e.g., Metamask) to connect
  2. Make a prediction: Choose from hourly, daily, or weekly predictions for any asset.
    • You’ll have 3 options: Above X price, Between X and Y price, or Below Y price.
  3. Submit your prediction: Use SIGNAL tokens to place your prediction.
  4. Check the result: After the period ends, check if your prediction was correct.
  5. Claim rewards: If your prediction is correct, the total SIGNAL staked in the Trade is distributed proportionally among the winners.

This step-by-step process helps users understand the simple mechanics of DeFi without requiring significant investments.

Welcome to hackathon S7
Please I will like to know if they’re rewards or incentive that will be offered to the users to motivate them.

  • How are you going to encourage a sense of community and engagement among users

  • What steps have you put in place in fair play and also prevent cheating.

Welcome to hackathon season 7
Your project offer an excellent opportunity for newcomers by lowering the entry barriers to the blockchain space.

Please tell me how rewards will be distributed among the users?

Will it be in form of tokens or NFTs?

What is the process for claiming them or is it automatically sent to user’s wallet?

Will the platform generate trading signal for me to follow or I predict and carry it out myself,…or is it like more of betting?

Hello @Okorie thanks for checking out our project.
For engaging the community and growing it at the same time, we have introduced mechanisms like referral rewards, rewards for tweeting about us, reward for joining our telegram community etc.

For fairplay, the platform sources data from multiple sources out there to ensure that the predictions are settled on the basis of correct price only

@manfred_jr thanks for taking time to check our project. Tradingview is completely different from what we are trying to build and what are vision is for this project.

We are currently allowing users to predict the price range for their favourite crypto assets in fixed timeframes of 1 hour, 1 day and 1 week. On the basis of their predictions, we are rewarding them. This gamified experience allows us to onboard normie users to web3 and gradually nudge them to use different blockchain based trading stuff

@Chukseucharia we are glad that you liked the idea. Currently we have introduced an in-game reward token SIGNAL, which can be claimed for various tasks like joining twitter, telegram or inviting friends or making correct price predictions.

You can keep claiming the SignalCoin, which will be gradually redeemable for Signal Token, that we will be launching after acquiring some users. We don’t want to launch our token from day 1 because that would bring a lot of fake users just to farm tokens rather than actually using our platform.
Once we onboard our users organically, we will launch token reward for them

@Nweke-nature1.com Our platform currently allows users to predict the price range for their favourite crypto assets in fixed timeframes of 1 hour, 1 day and 1 week. On the basis of their predictions, we will reward them if their prediction was correct. We also reward them for joining twitter, telegram or inviting friends.

@JOHNY we keep rewarding users for making the correct price range predictions for their favourite crypto assets. So to keep earning more rewards, they will try to make more and more predictions, thus getting hooked to our platform in a cycle

@tradesignal
Alright thanks for the response and clarity, your good work is well appreciated

I might still come back to this but due to the volatile nature of crypto am still contemplating how this will work perfectly moreover were would you get your accurate price data

Hello @Nweke-nature1.com I understand your concerns

But it is due to the volatile nature of the crypto that these hourly predictions makes sense, otherwise the predictions would have been very easy to begin with.
Also we are getting data from multiple sources to make sure that the data is not tampered. We then use AI models to decide the range for options based on the past movement of the asset.

@manfred_jr glad you liked it. Please try out our website. It is totally free to use and you would need to only spend the gas amount

@tradesignal Thank you for participating in the hackathon. I am testing this app.
If my prediction is correct, how can I view my reward value?

Even when you launch your token at a later stage, I don’t think it will stop the fake users from farming token. What you need is a proper implementation of a security strategy that will prevent fake users from using your platform to farm token rather than unique engagement.

That one aside, when you finally launch your token, will users have to perform any action to claim their rewards or will it be automatically sent to them?
