Update from ChartRunner

ChartRunner – 5 weeks of shipping, 290 PRs and a growing team 👾📈

ChartRunner turns trading into a game: a runner jumps across live candles, you trade from the same screen, and you compete with friends in Rooms, Arena battles and Trading Cups. Built on Solana, live at app.chartrunner.xyz.

💡 Why

Trading competitions today are run by big exchanges, on their terms. ChartRunner makes them permissionless: any project or community can host a Trading Cup, players compete live, spectators watch, and every result can be verified. Our goal: turn competitive trading into an esport game.

📊 Traction

• Nearly 500 players have run the charts – most as guests, no sign-up needed

• 200+ multiplayer Rooms and 50+ Trading Cups played

• X community up 60% in two weeks

🛠 Shipping cadence

Since we rebuilt the app from scratch on Oct 1:

• 290 pull requests opened, 225+ merged

• 1,150+ commits, merged PRs every single week

• every PR goes through review and required CI checks before it ships

🖥 Terminal since our Colosseum submission (Oct 5)

• Then: one chart, a swap panel and a SIM ticket

• Charting: volume pane, indicator toolbar, price readout, faster rendering, drawing tools with an object tree, Maps & Alerts

• Token Radar: live launches & graduations, safety checks, trending, one tap from discovery to chart and ticket

• Trading: quick-buy amounts, sizes in USD, spot charts for any Solana token with our own PnL tracking

• Layout: watchlist, resizable panels that snap and dock, Terminal Pro 3 multi-window layout (Nov 6) – Pro 4 in review
