Aluna.Social: A Gamified Trading Platform - Part I

Aluna.Social is a multi-exchange, gamified trading platform. It aims to devise a trusted and transparent platform by integrating the social and exchange accounts of the users. The platform offers multiple benefits to its users. Users can integrate their social profile like Twitter to their Aluna account. They can also connect their Telegram account with the platform’s official trading bot, @aluna_social_bot, and manage their account directly from Telegram.

Aluna.Social has a leaderboard where you can check the top-performing profiles of the traders. Any platform user can follow these best-ranking profiles and can copy their trades. It also has an insight page where you can see the feed from traders.

Problem Statement

Trading is one of the common methods to make money. Compared to the traditional financial system, the profit percentage in the crypto industry is currently quite high. Every user wants to grab their share from this evolving industry. All the social networking sites, be it Twitter, Facebook, or anywhere, is full of people giving insights about tokens and their trading positions. New users who wanted to make money immediately jumped into this and started investing without doing much research about the project or learning the authenticity of the news.

But is this money-making process that simple? The answer is NO. Lack of knowledge and experience can lead you to a great loss of wealth. So what about a platform that provides you a piece of information coming directly from experienced investors? And integrates their social and exchange accounts with their platform profile that proves the investor’s identity?

Sounds great, right? Aluna.Social is one such platform that aims to build a transparent and trusted community where users can get correct news coming from the correct sources.

So, in this article, we will explore what Aluna is trying to offer to its users and how you can use it to enhance your money and knowledge.

Leaderboard

The Leaderboard lists the details of all the traders associated with the platform along with their performance stats. It lists the trader’s performance, irrespective of any of their associated exchange accounts.

You can see the top-performing traders. This feature is particularly useful for the new crypto user who wishes to invest in different tokens but has no clear idea about the risk associated with them. Users can come and check the Leaderboard and can follow their favorite traders based upon their performance, winning rate, and consistency.

Once the user connects the Aluna.Social account with their exchange account and performs any margin or futures trades, they automatically get listed on the Leaderboard. They also become eligible for taking part in trading competitions.

However, the traders get displayed on the Leaderboard once they have closed a position on a margin or futures market.

From the Leaderboard, you can get the following details about the current period:

  • List of traders based on performance
  • Trader performance percentage
  • Wining rate
  • Number of trades in the selected period

You can also see the overall, current (open), and the past (closed) ranking of the traders every month from the Tournament tab.
