As the lead developer of HODL HIGH, I spearheaded the creation of an innovative mobile mini-game that revolutionized how users interact with cryptocurrency trading. Within just one month, I delivered a functioning MVP that showcased core features including seamless Telegram authentication, an engaging in-browser canvas game, and a sophisticated in-app store for managing player lives. The initial development phase leveraged Next.js and TypeScript to create a robust foundation, while Vercel's infrastructure ensured optimal performance and scalability. This rapid development cycle demonstrated our ability to quickly translate complex trading concepts into an accessible and entertaining format for users.
Building upon this successful foundation, I led the three-month evolution of HODL HIGH into a comprehensive trading-meets-gaming experience. By integrating existing trading logic from Cube Exchange's main platform, we transformed routine trading activities into engaging arcade-style interactions. The enhanced version featured immersive elements including custom sound effects and haptic feedback, making each trade more tactile and engaging for users. This innovative approach to trading garnered significant user adoption, attracting nearly 800,000 users within three months and maintaining an impressive daily active user base of up to 20,000 players. The project exemplified how modern web technologies could be leveraged to create engaging, user-friendly experiences in the cryptocurrency space.
