Introducing CoinHatcher — a portal for everything crypto
Today Band Protocol is announcing the alpha version release of CoinHatcher — the first application built on top of Band Protocol.
Crypto market information is fragmented and unreliable
If you have been in the crypto market, even for a short while, you know that it is unlike any other market you have ever experienced before — 24/7 trading, volatility, personalities, announcement of announcement, and lack of regulations, just to name a few. As the market gets more attention from the public, it also attracts nefarious operators. Scams become more prevalent with straight up fake founder’s profiles and copied whitepapers being one of the latest schemes to part investors from their money.
It can be overwhelming for average investors to discern what information is true let alone making sense of what is happening in the market and the projects they are following. We think the difficulties can be summarized into two main issues:
Contents come in various forms and channels: unlike traditional assets, valuable crypto information come in all shapes and sizes — Medium article, Tweet, YouTube video, press release, news article, podcast, etc. — making it very tedious and time-consuming for crypto enthusiast to follow and sift through the content to have a well-informed picture of the market.
Unreliable data: majority of the contents are produced and curated by a centralized party. While this method has worked well in the past, we have seen that it is increasingly becoming more unreliable. These entities have their own agendas and incentives which lead them to show information that might not be in the best interest of the user and community. Even data from a popular websites such as Coinmarketcap is sometimes called into question for its accuracy — e.g., circulating supply, weighted price, trade volume on exchanges, etc.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a portal which gives you access to the most relevant and trusted crypto content — all in one place?
Together, we are the solution!
If crypto is to move to the next level, it needs to “drain the swamp” of fake news, misinformation, and scams. As an ecosystem that believes in decentralization, who else is better to do this job if it’s not US — the crypto community members! We at CoinHatcher believes that we all, coming together, has the power to affect change and bring legitimacy back to our space. We all have skin in the game, and we stand to benefit when our community become more honest and rid itself of the bad elements. We hope you join us in this effort!
