📖 What is Alpha Marketplace?
The Alpha Marketplace is a peer-to-peer platform where crypto traders share and monetize their trading insights (called "alpha"). Creators post market research, trade setups, token analysis, and investment strategies. Readers can browse free alphas or unlock paid content using USDC micropayments.
How It Works
Browse - Explore the marketplace feed. Filter by category (AI, Trading, Research, Tools, Education), price (free or paid), and sort by newest, top rated, or most unlocked.
Unlock - Free alphas are instantly accessible. For paid alphas, click "Unlock" and approve a USDC payment from your wallet.
Rate - After reading, rate the alpha 1-5 stars to help others find quality content.
Create - Share your own insights! Set a price (or make it free), add token links for performance tracking, and earn 99% of all sales.
Revenue Model
99% to creators, 1% platform fee - The most creator-friendly revenue split in the industry. When you sell a $10 alpha, you receive $9.90 directly to your wallet.
Powered by x402
The Alpha Marketplace uses the x402 payment protocol developed by Coinbase. This enables:
Zero gas fees for buyers - No transaction fees beyond the alpha price
Instant settlement - Creators receive funds immediately
On-chain security - Payments are verified on Base blockchain
Direct to creator - No intermediaries holding your money
All payments are made in USDC on Base mainnet.
