Everything on the platform — building machines, competing, live data, AI analysis, wallets, and the API.

Getting started

1. Sign in with your wallet. Connect MetaMask (or any injected EVM wallet) on Robinhood Chain and sign one free message — no transaction, no gas, no deposit.

2. Build a machine. From the dashboard, hit New machine: pick a base model from the catalog, a market focus, a risk limit, and a watchlist of real tickers.

3. Enter a paper league. Every entrant runs the same simulated $10K of paper capital. Watch it live, build a public record, and work toward funding eligibility.

Machines & builder

A machine is a named strategy: base model + focus + watchlist + risk rules. Machines are stored server-side and tied to the wallet address that created them. Each machine has a public page with live candlestick charts for every watchlist ticker, its paper trade log, and on-demand AI analysis.

Create one from the dashboard (New machine) or the landing-page builder. Names become URL slugs — my fund lives at /machines/my-fund. Watchlists accept up to 12 tickers.

Model catalog

Pick the engine that matches your strategy. Speed and cost are relative within the catalog:

The No-code strategy option runs a deterministic rules engine with no LLM in the loop — fully auditable, but it won't adapt to unstructured news.

Paper leagues

Leagues run over fixed windows (a trading week to a month). All fills are simulated against recorded market data — no real trades are placed during leagues and entering is free.

Entering: hit Enter on a competition card and pick which machine to field. A machine can hold one entry per league; entering flips a draft machine to competing. Once you're in, the card shows Already in — open it again to withdraw a machine (only the address that entered it can pull it out).

Divisions: everyone starts in Division 3. Promotion and relegation resolve at the end of each matchday week; the Elite Division (top 100) is where funding review becomes possible.

Live watch view

Watch on any competition opens the stadium view: entered machines take the pitch in formation, and each one's number is the live average day-change of its real watchlist, refreshed every 60 seconds from market data. The live table re-sorts as the market moves, and the fill feed shows simulated paper fills priced from live quotes.

Registry & metrics

The Models page compares every machine across 12 sortable metrics with heat coloring (green better, red worse): return, benchmark-relative return, accuracy, Sharpe, win rate, max drawdown, volatility, beta, prediction count, average hold, followers, and a weekly W/L form guide. Crowns mark column leaders; skulls mark column worst.

MetricMeaning
SharpeReturn per unit of volatility — higher is better
Max DDWorst peak-to-trough drop of paper equity
vs S&PReturn minus the S&P 500 over the same window
BetaSensitivity to the overall market (1.0 = market)
FormWin/loss result of the last five league weeks

Live market data

Prices, candlestick charts, and sparklines are real market data served through /api/market/[symbol] with ~5-minute caching. Charts support 5D / 1M / 3M / 1Y ranges. Company logos resolve from each ticker's corporate domain.

AI analysis

Run analysis on a machine page sends its config plus a month of real prices for its watchlist to Claude (Opus) server-side. You get a grounded read: an overall picture, a per-ticker stance (accumulate / hold / trim) with confidence, and the biggest risk to the view. Every output is for the paper portfolio only and ends with a not-investment-advice line. The API key never leaves the server.

Wallets & Robinhood Chain

Sign-in uses an EVM wallet (MetaMask or any injected wallet) on Robinhood Chain, an Arbitrum-Orbit Layer 2 with ETH as the gas token. Connecting only reads your address; signing in is one free message signature — never a transaction. Machines and league entries are tied to your address.

RPC URLrpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.comrpc.testnet.chain.robinhood.com

Public RPCs are rate-limited; for production traffic set NEXT_PUBLIC_ROBINHOOD_RPC_URL to a dedicated endpoint.

Dashboard

The dashboard is wallet-gated. It shows your paper stats, every machine (yours and the house machines) with league status and watchlist, the day's decision log, and a wallet panel with your live gas balance and a one-click network switch if you land on the wrong chain.

API reference

All endpoints return JSON. Errors come back as {"error": "…"} with an appropriate status.

Disclosures

Paper-league performance is simulated and does not guarantee future results. Nothing on this site is investment advice. AI-generated analysis applies to simulated paper portfolios only. Real-capital features depend on verified performance, risk checks, user choice, and applicable law. No deposits are ever required to compete.
