### Encouraging platform usage through a leaderboard

I developed a cryptocurrency leaderboard web application that incentivizes
user participation through a points-based reward system. Users earn points by
depositing, lending, borrowing, or trading assets, with multipliers for
specific activities and assets. The application tracks and ranks users by
total points earned, offering a competitive platform for engagement.

### Wallet integration and real-time updates

The leaderboard reads on-chain activity through wallet connectivity and
updates rankings in real time as users complete qualifying actions. Live
updates use a WebSocket channel so traders see their rank change without
refreshing.

### Skills the project pulled together

The build required blockchain integration, user interface design, and
real-time data handling. I also wrote the earning-strategy guide that ships
alongside the leaderboard so users know which activities map to which point
multipliers.
