Hello everyone 👋
For those who’ve been following me for a long time, you already know — I used to be a passionate Splinterlands player 🎮.
However, I’ve recently taken a step back from the project, not out of a lack of conviction, but rather due to a lack of time and motivation.
Recently, I switched careers to become a Web Developer, and today I want to use my new skills to give back to the Splinterlands community 💻✨
So, I’m proud to introduce the project:
SPL AutoTrader
General idea 💡
This bot is designed to constantly scan the Splinterlands market, detect great deals, and automatically perform buy (and sell, if you wish) actions.
Some of you might have tested its first version a few months ago — the project is now making a comeback with a more professional architecture and a more serious approach.
As soon as it starts, the app scans the market and begins searching for deals 🔍
Did you say Milliseconds? ⚡
Right now, it’s almost impossible for human users to access the best deals on the market.
That’s because bots are already watching and instantly buying any card with a truly attractive price 🤖
SPL AutoTrader allows everyone to benefit from this technology, giving you a chance to grab amazing cards at unbelievable discounts 💥
Whether you want to expand your collection, or simply perform market arbitrage, you’ll find it useful and rewarding.
Deal detection in action ⚙️
Current status 🧩
Right now, the second version of the app is in alpha.
The screenshots you see here come from local development and don’t represent the final version that will be available to the public.
Once the core logic is complete, a user interface will be created, and the app will move into the beta phase.
First, there will be a closed beta with a few selected users, then an open beta phase.
Feel free to show your interest in the comments if you’d like to become a Beta Tester 🙌
Economic model 💰
One of the main reasons the first project failed was my lack of planning around the economic model and infrastructure costs for this kind of project.
Indeed, scanning the market 24/7 has a cost — not to mention the database.
We’re talking about at least $40 per month, and that amount can grow if many users want to use the service.
Therefore, access to the app will likely be through a project-specific token or an NFT.
I don’t have a price in mind yet, but I’ll keep you updated 🔔
The price war ⚔️
Another essential component of the app’s system is that it’s a PvP model — users naturally compete to get the best cards at the best prices.
To manage this, there will be four tiers, from the Standard tier with the lowest fees and priority, to the Max tier with higher fees but maximum priority.
This system will be enhanced with Tips, allowing you to boost your chances of winning a deal — an additional payment in DEC 💎
Finally, in cases where two or more users compete for the same deal, if they share the same tier and tip level, the winner will be chosen by a virtual dice roll 🎲
Once a deal is detected and matches one of the connected users, it gets assigned ✅
Conclusion
I’ll do my best to keep you regularly updated on the project’s progress 🚀

See you soon, and may the dev force be with you 💻✨
