The minimalist design and clean user interface allows users to truly be immersed in their learning experience of stock trading and crypto!
The 'Tool Box' includes all the tools necessary for the user to grasp blockchain theory, mining, digital wallet safety, and crypto trading.
Through efficient front-end development, the web applications can be accessed by the user in a mere click of a button :D!
The first web application provides a brief description of each company within the S&P 500.
It also depicts refined data and charts within a selected period of time. This helps users navigate the stocks they want to invest in.
The second web application on streamlit shows the live prices of different cryptocurrencies using the Binance API
The third web application - the interactive financial dashboard - compares the returns between different assets given their stock tickers.

Inspiration

Understanding blockchain, cryptocurrency and decentralized finance technology can be difficult and overwhelming if you have no technical background. But in order to participate in the emerging cryptoeconomy, you need to understand what you’re getting into. What are the risks, what are the rewards? How does blockchain work? Why does DeFi matter? What opportunities are there in crypto investing for the future? With our web application CryptLearn, we seek to build a better-decentralized world by bringing blockchain and cryptocurrency education to everyone.

What it does

CryptLearn is an educational platform hoping to reach out to end users of all backgrounds and levels that have not yet embarked on their trading journey! :D

How we built it

The front end development of the website was primarily done with Figma, HTML, CSS. The back end development was done using python; libraries including numpy, pandas, matplotlib; frameworks including streamlit (an open-source app framework for Machine Learning and Data Science teams); APIs including the Yahoo Finance and Binance APIs

Challenges we ran into

For the most part, working with virtual environments was mentally taxing, as it required us to try out multiple IDEs to see which one suited us. Additionally, importing APIs and organizing data in a refined manner that's intuitive to the user was not an easy task. We also built a chart that plots bitcoin prices in real time, but we struggled with the integration of that data with the front end. Throughout the two days, we tried to add more functionality to our website including a crypto trading, a stock market simulator, and an intuitive chatbot, which we developed the code for but did not have enough time to implement.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Building the website from scratch and implementing 3 web applications to allow the end user to better understand and analyze the crypto market was no easy feat. Furthermore, providing users with unbiased data and information in regards to the market to provide them an opportunity to learn about cryptocurrencies in theory and deeply analyze/study the markets in real time. This is in order to allow the user to make neutral decisions on stock and crypto trading that wouldn't compromise their financial security. For all those reasons combined, we are very proud of our product.
