Be one of the first ten traders with a verified public record.
SMCAlpha pulls your track record straight from the exchange through a read-only API key — nobody can fake a curve here, including us. The first 10 traders to verify and publish become Founding Traders.
A permanent Founding Trader badge
Automatic and unbuyable: only the first 10 published traders ever get it. It stays on your profile forever — proof you were here before it was obvious.
Early pool math is on your side
20% of every Pro payment goes to a monthly rewards pool split among eligible verified traders. Fewer traders now = a bigger share of every pool while the network grows.
50% referral earnings
Bring traders you rate: you earn half of each referred trader's first Pro payment, paid in USDT to your wallet.
Direct line to the founder
Founding traders shape what gets built next. Feature requests from the first 10 go to the top of the list.
What it takes (about 10 minutes)
- Create an account — 30 days of Pro free, no card.
- Connect a read-only API key from Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, or KuCoin. Keys with trading or withdrawal permission are automatically rejected — we can only ever read.
- Your history imports and your metrics build themselves.
- Press Publish. If you’re in the first 10, the badge is yours — automatically.
Your funds never move and can’t be touched — read-only means read-only. Publish shows percentages, not balances, unless you choose otherwise. Unpublish anytime. Rewards are discretionary per the Terms; nothing here is financial advice.
