⚡ TradeDotFun

The Cypherpunk Trading League on Solana

Official submission for the 2025 Colosseum Cypherpunk Hackathon
Exploring privacy, coordination, and profit on Solana

---

🧠 Overview

TradeDotFun is a fully on-chain trading league built on Solana, designed to make trading social, permissionless, and cypherpunk.

It merges RWA assets (AAPL, GOLD) with crypto markets, rewarding bold moves, hidden insights, and perfect timing.

Built as part of the Colosseum 2025 Cypherpunk Hackathon,
TradeDotFun explores what it means to trade in a world where privacy is alpha and information is money.

💡 Real-time, real gains — where the cypherpunk ethos meets Solana's performance.

The system integrates MagicBlock's Ephemeral Rollups (ER) and MagicAction for real-time state updates and privacy-preserving data control, turning on-chain trading into a living, evolving game.

🧩 Core Idea

🎮 Gamified Perp Trading

TradeDotFun transforms the hardcore world of trading into a social game of prediction and coordination.

• Compete in leagues with entry fees and fixed durations
• Open and close positions based on live oracles
• Watch your rank change in real time
• Monetize visibility through paid reveals for spectators and KOLs

It's not just about making the right trade
It's about playing the market as performance art.

💰 Monetization & Community

• Trading KOLs can host private leagues for their followers
• Revenue share from entry fees, reveal payments, or sponsorships
• Leagues can become self-contained micro economies powered by participation and curiosity

Cypherpunk-style monetization:
Not by ads or tokens, but through the value of hidden information.

🌍 RWA + Crypto Perp Trading

We're extending perps beyond crypto.
Trade synthetic perpetuals for RWA assets such as GOLD, AAPL, or TESLA, powered by our custom Oracle program.

This bridges traditional markets and DeFi into a single game layer, a cypherpunk fusion of Web2 and Web3 value systems.

Simulate Wall Street's tickers inside Solana's runtime.
Trade the world, stay on-chain.

⚙️ Technical Features

1. Hierarchical Optimized Updates

Powered by MagicAction

Real-time for players. Deliberate for the system.

• Delegated participant and position update reactively in ER utilizing real-time oracle
• On commit, we invoke MagicAction to cascade updates to other programs (e.g., league leaderboards, public stats), keeping hot paths fast and heavy aggregations off the critical path

Separate the "live state" from the "final state" and sync them efficiently.

2. Private ER + Pay-to-Reveal

Powered by Private ER

• Hide position internals in the private ER; only publish allowed fields (PnL, aggregates) via commit-time MagicAction
• Users can pay to reveal a position or subscribe to a community for access
• This creates a viable path to monetize strategies while preserving composability

Curiosity itself becomes monetizable.
Alpha turns into a micro-economy.

3. From Simulation to Execution

TradeDotFun can seamlessly connect to Solana DEXs such as Jupiter, Drift, or Meteora, allowing simulated trades to evolve into real market executions.

This makes TradeDotFun more than a paper-trading game.
It's an on-chain liquidity sandbox, ready to plug into Solana's DeFi primitives.

Builders can extend the same commit flow to execute, hedge, or mirror live positions directly within the Solana ecosystem.

A pathway from play to profit — powered by Solana.

🚀 Getting Started

📋 Prerequisites

• Rust + Cargo
• Solana CLI
• Node.js + Yarn
• Anchor CLI

🔧 Installation

# Install dependencies
yarn install

# Build programs
anchor build

📱 Mobile App (Expo)

The repository includes a React Native app under app/ built with Expo. It provides a minimal UI to connect a wallet, view account state, and interact with the on-chain programs.

# From the repo root
cd app

# Install app dependencies (uses npm)
npm install

# Start the Expo dev server
npm run dev

# Platform targets
npm run ios     # run on iOS simulator (Xcode required)
npm run android # run on Android emulator/device
npm run web     # run in the browser

# Quality
npm run lint
npm run fmt

• Uses @solana-mobile/mobile-wallet-adapter for wallet connections on mobile
• Includes cluster switching and basic account/airdrop screens
• See additional docs in app/README.md

🧪 Testing

# Run tests
yarn test

📝 Notes

• IDLs are generated under target/idl/
• Type bindings under target/types/ (e.g., tdf.ts, oracle.ts)
• Example local ledgers are included under test-ledger/ and test-ledger-magicblock/ for faster iteration

---

🚧 Development Status

✅ Completed

• Fully on-chain trading system core on Solana (see programs/tdf)
• Simple oracle price program implemented (see programs/oracle)

🚧 In Progress

• ER lifecycle for participant/position: delegate → commit → undelegate
• Leaderboard updates via MagicAction
• Private ER for hidden positions + "pay to reveal"
• Minimal frontend
• Connect SDKs for real position (e.g., DriftSDK)
