Project Description

Description:

TriggVest is an innovative automated crypto trading platform that enables users to create and deploy trading strategies triggered by real-world events. The platform's core innovation lies in its ability to execute cross-chain trades automatically when specific conditions are met, such as social media posts, news announcements, price movements, or whale wallet activities.

Core Concept: The platform operates on the principle of "You Set The Rules. We Pull The Trigger", users define their trading conditions, and TriggVest automatically executes trades when those conditions are met, without any manual intervention required.

Key Features:

1. Event-Driven Trading:

  • Real-time monitoring of Twitter/X accounts, news outlets, price movements, and whale alerts
  • Customizable keyword detection and sentiment analysis
  • Instant trigger activation when conditions are met

2. Cross-Chain Execution:

  • Seamless trading across multiple blockchains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Avalanche)
  • Utilizes CCT (Cross-Chain Transfer) technology with USDC paymaster for gasless transfers
  • Users don't need native tokens of target blockchains - USDC serves as the universal currency

3. Automated Strategy Creation:

  • Simple 4-step process: Pick a Trigger → Define an Action → Set Your Target → Deploy
  • Support for buy, sell, and swap operations
  • Customizable investment amounts and target tokens

4. Architecture:

  • Each strategy gets its own dedicated wallet for risk isolation

5. User Experience:

  • Modern, intuitive interface built with Next.js 15 and Tailwind CSS
  • Real-time dashboard with performance tracking
  • Comprehensive transaction logs and strategy analytics
  • Multi-chain wallet support via Reown AppKit

Technical Innovation: The platform's technical breakthrough is the combination of CCT (Cross-Chain Transfer) with automated execution. When a trigger event occurs, the system:

  1. Detects the event in real-time
  2. Transfers USDC cross-chain using CCT (gasless via USDC paymaster)
  3. Executes the trade on the target blockchain
  4. Records the transaction and updates performance metrics

Use Cases:

  • Social Media Triggers: Automatically buy DOGE when Elon Musk tweets positively about Dogecoin
  • News-Based Trading: React to Federal Reserve announcements or regulatory news
  • Whale Following: Mirror large Bitcoin movements from known whale wallets
  • Price-Based Strategies: Execute trades based on specific price movements or volatility

Market Position: TriggVest addresses a significant gap in the crypto trading ecosystem by combining event-driven automation with cross-chain execution. While existing solutions are limited to single-chain operations or require manual intervention, TriggVest offers a truly automated, cross-chain trading experience with zero gas fees for users.

Target Audience:

  • Retail crypto traders seeking automation
  • Traders who want to react to market-moving events instantly
  • Users looking for cross-chain trading opportunities
  • Anyone wanting to eliminate emotional trading decisions

The platform democratizes access to sophisticated trading strategies that were previously only available to institutional traders with advanced infrastructure, while maintaining the security and transparency that the crypto community demands.

How it's Made

How it's made:

Frontend Architecture: TriggVest is built as a modern web application using Next.js 15 with the App Router, providing server-side rendering capabilities while maintaining a smooth client-side experience. The UI is crafted with Tailwind CSS v3, implementing a custom design system that emphasizes the platform's bold, military-inspired aesthetic with sharp black borders and high-contrast elements.

Wallet Integration & Multi-Chain Support: The core wallet functionality is powered by Reown AppKit, which provides seamless multi-chain wallet connection capabilities. This integration allows users to connect their wallets across Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, and Avalanche networks. The platform uses Wagmi hooks for Ethereum-specific interactions, creating a unified interface for blockchain operations.

Cross-Chain Innovation - CCT Integration: The most technically challenging aspect was implementing Cross-Chain Transfer (CCT) technology. This required deep integration with CCT's smart contracts to enable gasless cross-chain transfers using USDC as the universal currency. The system automatically handles the complex process of:

  • Detecting when funds need to move between chains
  • Initiating CCT transfers with USDC paymaster covering gas fees
  • Managing transaction confirmations across multiple blockchains
  • Ensuring atomic execution of the entire cross-chain workflow

Real-Time Event Monitoring System: We built a sophisticated event monitoring infrastructure that continuously scans multiple data sources. The system uses webhook-based architecture to ensure immediate trigger detection, with fallback polling mechanisms for reliability.

Strategy Execution Engine: The automated trading engine is built with a microservices architecture that handles:

  • Event parsing and validation
  • Strategy condition evaluation
  • Cross-chain fund management
  • Trade execution coordination
  • Transaction logging and analytics

Security Implementation: Security was paramount in the architecture. Each strategy gets its own dedicated wallet address, created through a deterministic wallet generation system. This ensures complete isolation between strategies - if one strategy is compromised, others remain secure.

Database & State Management: The platform uses a hybrid approach combining:

  • PostgreSQ with SupabaseL for persistent strategy and user data
  • In-memory state management for active strategy monitoring
  • Blockchain event indexing for transaction tracking

Hacky Solutions & Notable Technical Challenges:

1. Gasless Cross-Chain Execution: The biggest hack was figuring out how to make cross-chain transfers completely gasless for users. We achieved this by implementing a sophisticated USDC paymaster system that automatically covers gas fees across all supported chains. This required deep integration with CCT's infrastructure and custom smart contract interactions.

2. Real-Time Event Processing: We implemented a custom event processing pipeline that can handle thousands of events per second while maintaining sub-second trigger detection. This involved building a distributed event queue system with intelligent filtering and prioritization algorithms.

3. Multi-Chain Transaction Coordination: Coordinating transactions across multiple blockchains while maintaining atomicity was particularly challenging. We built a custom transaction coordinator that manages the entire cross-chain workflow, ensuring that if any step fails, the entire operation is rolled back safely.

4. Strategy Wallet Isolation: Creating isolated wallets for each strategy. This ensures each strategy has its own address space while allowing the platform to manage them programmatically.

Partner Technology Benefits:

CCT Integration: CCT's cross-chain transfer technology was crucial for our gasless execution model. Their infrastructure handles the complex cross-chain messaging and USDC paymaster functionality, allowing us to focus on the trading logic and user experience. Without CCT, implementing cross-chain transfers would have required significantly more development time and complexity.

Reown AppKit: Reown's wallet integration simplified our multi-chain support significantly. Their unified API allowed us to support multiple blockchains without building separate integration layers for each one. This saved months of development time and ensures consistent wallet behavior across all supported networks.

Technical Stack Summary:

  • Frontend: Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v3, Recharts
  • Backend: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Supabase
  • Blockchain: CCT for cross-chain transfers, Reown AppKit for wallet integration

The combination of these technologies creates a platform that's both technically sophisticated and user-friendly, enabling automated cross-chain trading that was previously impossible for retail users.
