Retail onchain trading and market intelligence

market profile

  • text: Traders can use perpetual futures for continuous price exposure without owning the underlying asset; availability varies by location.
  • text: The product combines market news and AI analysis with access to crypto and other asset-linked markets.

personas

  • title: Active crypto and perpetual futures trader
    pains:
    • Market-moving news arrives outside traditional exchange hours
    • Managing positions across separate apps and sources adds friction
  • title: Self-directed trader following private technology companies
    pains:
    • Limited access to private-company exposure
    • Difficulty distinguishing price exposure from actual share ownership
  • title: Onchain strategy follower
    pains:
    • Finding traders to follow and sizing copied positions takes research
    • Wallet activity and market news are fragmented

icp

  • text: Individual self-directed, crypto-funded traders in jurisdictions where the relevant markets and funding methods are available.
  • text: Users already comfortable evaluating onchain derivatives, market risk and self-custody rather than corporate buying committees.

message pillars

  • text: Discover onchain traders and follow their strategies.
  • text: Unify a live market view with trading decisions.
  • text: Get private-company exposure using defined instruments.

objections

  • objection: Does a pre-IPO perpetual give me company shares?
    response: No. The site distinguishes perpetual price exposure from share ownership and separately describes SPV-backed exposure.
  • objection: How risky is leveraged trading?
    response: Leverage magnifies losses and can result in liquidation; explain funding costs, market availability and risk before any trade.
