Cotrader

$1M hardcap for The Uber of investment funds, on mainnet, democratizing the $85 trillion global investment funds industry

Investing well is hard and time consuming, with 1000s of cryptos, ICOs, stocks and more. CoTrader solves this problem with fantasy funds contests and onchain smart funds.

CoTrader's Smart Funds platform is the world's first working blockchain investment funds marketplace, which empowers anyone to create or join funds. Cotraders can invest with the best investors.

Fantasy Funds (FF), launching mid October, let contestants win a pool of prize money if their chosen stocks and cryptos outperform others. Observers, or "FF team managers", can create FF virtual teams and place unlimited funds on them, and earn from the managers pool as their FF teams outperform others. Fantasy funds will merge with smart funds.

Token usage and staking reduces platform fees. Revenues buy back CoTrader tokens.

Unlike competing platforms, cotraders can withdraw their their investments from any fund at any time, and fund fees and past performance is proven on the blockchain. CoTrader incentivizes the best investors and traders to come compete and multiply their own gains the more they earn for their cotraders.

When will the tokens be distributed?

The token distribution is planned by October or before. The platform is already usable without them, but after the tokens are unlocked, the platform will require them for usage.

At what stage is the project? Is it working?

Yes! CoTrader - the world's first working blockchain investment funds platform - is live at mainnet.cotrader.com, even before its ICO. Imagine that!

What's the usage value of the token?

The main token utilities of the token relate to staking, fees, profit buy-back, cross-platform interoperability, and shielding fund managers’ investment strategies and portfolio details from their investors.

What will CoTrader do with all those massive platform profits?

The plan is to use all platform profits to buy back CoTrader COT tokens, and hold them, indefinitely, until a DAO, might vote to use them to progress the platform further.

Can the CoTrader protocol work cross-blockchain, with support for all smart contract platforms?

Yes! The CoTrader smart fund protocol may run on smart contract platforms from Ethereum, to EOS, Tezos, Hashgraph and others!

Does CoTrader support all cryptos, and stocks, options, and other derivatives?

Yes! The CoTrader protocol supports all tradable assets whatsoever by automatically tokenizing all assets traded on any exchanges using our smart escrows and master accounts. CoTrader thus supports cryptos, stocks, shorts, options, derivatives and more.

Can CoTrader support onchain ICO trading (without requiring trust and IOUs)?

Yes! CoTrader can support trading ICOs. Smart funds may contain ICOs at some point. CoTrader may be the world's first true onchain ICO trading marketplace!

Does CoTrader support mobile and other non-web access points?

Yes! Mobile is also supported. Any ERC20 token supporting wallet is enough. Whitelabel access of any sort is possible.

Is CoTrader researching it's own blockchain?

Yes! CoTrader is researching a distributed ledger protocol that would be fast and secure with support for privacy preserving smart contracts without a trusted setup.

Is CoTrader a platform, protocol, infrastructure or marketplace?

Yes! CoTrader is a platform, protocol, super-DEX infrastructure, and investment funds marketplace. It's a platform to launch smart-funds. It's a protocol to extend privacy to any DEX (including our own) and standardize tokenization and compliance. It's an interface into smart funds on our Super-DEX. It's a marketplace for cotraders to consume the investment funds service products of fund managers.
