How it works

Why Sim-Trading?

A simulated trading environment fulfills multiple use-cases and paves the way to TopTicker's final state as a SocialFi platform used by both Web2 and Web3 audiences. In the context of Web2, sim-trading combined with monetary stakes allows the platform to have:

• A brokerage-agnostic user onboarding approach

• A simple and leveled playing field for a variety of users

• A fantasy sports parallel that's not difficult to understand

• Clearance of regulatory and legal hurdles

In the Web3 context, simulated trading has immediate benefits and acts as a solid first step in a larger more integrated framework. Some of the immediate advantages are:

• CEX and DEX-agnostic build that simplifies user onboarding and increases flexibility

• Eliminates chain dependencies and wallet-tracking limitations

• Can be applied to different product types with Web3 (spot, futures, options, and NFTs)
