After weeks of incredible submissions, from backtesting engines to AI-powered trading agents, we're thrilled to announce the 10 winning projects of the altFINS API Challenge. Each one built something genuinely useful on top of the altFINS Data API, MCP server, or CLI, and each one is walking away with a 1-year Startup Plan (commercial use) as their prize. 🎉
Here's a quick look at what the winners have built:
1. Backtester
A browser-based backtesting engine that lets traders test strategies like RSI mean-reversion or MACD crossovers against real historical data, complete with equity curves, drawdown stats, and a full trade lo, no indicator math required.
2. BTC Live Signal Dashboard
An always-on Bitcoin dashboard that turns live price, RSI, and MACD readings into a plain-English market summary, powered by the altFINS MCP server.
3. Candlestick Patterns Explorer
An educational site that pairs every candlestick pattern with a real, currently-forming example pulled live from the market, so the lessons never go stale.
4. Crypto Signal Dashboard
A clean, visual screener that surfaces coins matching specific technical setups, built for traders who want to scan the market in seconds rather than minutes.
5. CryptoNarrative, Sector Rotation Dashboard
A macro-level view tracking how capital rotates between crypto sectors (AI, DeFi, Solana, memecoins, RWA, gaming, and more), with AI-generated narrative summaries for each sector.
6. AI Crypto Trading Workflow (Claude + altFINS + Binance MCP)
A fully chained AI trading pipeline: Claude interprets natural-language commands, altFINS supplies the signals, and Binance MCP executes the trades, research to order, all from a single prompt.
7. 24/7 Pump Detector (altFINS + n8n)
A zero-cost, always-on momentum and volume-spike detector that fires Telegram alerts the moment a coin qualifies, no paid AI subscription needed.
8. Discord Trade Alert Bot
A Discord-native bot streaming live breakout and oversold alerts into trading servers, with role-gated premium signal tiers for community monetization.
9. Browser Extension Market Overlay
A lightweight extension that overlays live price, RSI, and trend data directly on any webpage a trader is reading, keeping market awareness ambient instead of requiring a tab switch.
10. Scanner for RSI Extremes
A live dashboard scanning the full coin universe for RSI extremes across multiple timeframes, sorting coins into "Potential Bounce" and "Potential Reversal" candidates.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a project. The range of ideas: backtesters, dashboards, bots, AI agents, shows just how much is possible once market data, signals, and AI tooling are made accessible through one API, MCP server, and CLI.
