Since the hackathon started we rebuilt ChartRunner from scratch. The new app went to main on 3 October 2026, with a new codebase, a new brand and three ways to play on a live chart. One more thing first: @nykdotdev and @M4l1k_n joined the team as lead dev and co-dev. Welcome Vince and Malik, the pace since then speaks for itself.
New branding
Black terminal, lime accents, a pixel runner as the logo. It looks like a pro trading terminal and plays like an arcade game, and that is the point: the chart is the level.

Singleplayer: your own chart
Pick any market, for example JUP/USD. Switch on GAME LAYER and your runner drops onto the candles.
How to play:
- Arrow keys move, up jumps, double up flies, down flips, double tap left or right dashes.
- X shoots where your mouse aims, R restarts run.
- Collect coins for $CHART points and XP.
- Number keys are chart tools: 0 trail, 2 laser, 3 order, 4 alarm, 5 magnet.
Free play on your own chart is practice and not scored. Daily Run and Daily Race are the scored modes.
New here: indicators (Volume, EMA, MACD and more, double click one to edit it), drawing tools, a live transaction feed and a built in swap panel. Swaps run through Jupiter with real funds on mainnet and you approve every swap in your own wallet. ChartRunner never signs for you.

Multiplayer room: hang out on the chart together
Start a room, hit Invite and send the link. Up to 8 players share one chart.
How to play:
- Everyone sees the same candles, drawings and runners in real time. Draw a Fibonacci, a trendline or a level and your friends see it instantly.
- Chat while you trade and race each other on the chart.
- Practice with SIM paper trading on live prices: Long or Short, market, limit or stop, leverage up to the room limit.
- Tick "Share my paper trades with this room" and the others see your entries live.
This is what replaced sending screenshots and drawing trendlines in a group chat.

Multiplayer cup: Arena
Open the Hub, go to Arena and press Host a cup.
How to set one up:
- Name your cup, pick Single cup or Qualifier + Final.
- Choose the markets (BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE, DOGE perps) and the duration (15 min, 1 hour, 24 hours or custom).
- Start when you press Start or schedule it. Players gather in the lobby and a 15 second countdown begins.
- Everyone gets the same SIM account (10,000 SIM, up to 20x by default). Best return wins.
Cups use paper money on live prices, so no real money moves. Final standings are frozen on the server and the result is anchored on Solana with an on-chain memo, so anyone can check the leaderboard.
Progression across all modes
XP, levels, daily streaks, daily quests and $CHART points run through every mode. $CHART points are in-app points for now, not a token.
What is next
- Arena Battle: SIM spot cups next to the perp cups.
- Hyperliquid and Robinhood Chain markets for display and SIM cups.
- Saved chart builds (tools, indicators, alerts) you can share as a link.
- Real perp trading and on-chain cups with prize pools, once the legal side is clear.
