The Project

For the Shiraz ITEX 2023 international exhibition, Capitalino needed a way to engage visitors and demonstrate our platform's capabilities. I built a competitive gamification platform that allowed visitors to simulate financial trading in real-time, compete on leaderboards, and experience the excitement of trading.

Key Features

  • Real-time market data - Live price feeds from multiple sources

  • Trading simulation - Buy/sell orders with virtual currency

  • Leaderboard - Real-time rankings of top traders

  • Achievements - Unlockable badges and rewards

  • Social sharing - Share results on social media

    • Technical Implementation

    Built with Node.js, React, Next.js, WebSocket, and Tailwind CSS. The platform handled 1,000+ concurrent users during the exhibition with real-time updates and smooth performance.

    Results

  • Visitors: 3,000+ participants

  • Trades Executed: 50,000+ simulated trades

  • Engagement: Average 8 minutes per user

  • Social Shares: 5,000+ shares

    • Impact

    The platform successfully demonstrated Capitalino's technical capabilities and engaged thousands of visitors, creating significant buzz and brand awareness at the exhibition.
