You’ve probable heard of trading bots, but have you ever created your own? We’ve built a powerful platform and framework for coding custom crypto trading bots called Coygo Forge. Now we want to see what you can build with it!

Code your own trading bot in the Coygo Forge Hackathon 2022 and you could win $100 worth of BTC or ETH for free* as well as a month’s subscription to Coygo. Multiple submissions will be chosen and receive free BTC or ETH — you could win more than once!

What is Coygo Forge?

Coygo Forge is a powerful platform and framework for coding custom crypto trading bots using simple JavaScript code. Forge is the underlying engine powering our trading bots platform, Coygo Bots!

Code preview

If you’re intimidated by the idea of coding a trading bot don’t worry! We’ve got plenty of videos and guides, extensive JavaScript API documentation and a number of working code examples to help you get started coding your own crypto trading bot.

Coygo Forge was built with a focus on trading strategies that work with real-time market data and don’t rely on much historical data —strategies like arbitrage and scalping. Coygo Forge is not built for indicator-based trading strategies or strategies that need to execute on intervals larger than 5 minutes.
