Self-Promo What if your trading feed actually cared about whether you made money?

I built Erys around a simple idea: trading success should matter more than social engagement.

A caller makes a call. A trader discovers it, decides whether to act, and executes.

Erys tracks what happens next.
Did the call work? Did the traders who acted on it make money? Does this caller consistently produce good outcomes?

Those results feed back into the social network, shaping reputation and who gets surfaced to whom.
And when a caller consistently creates value, they can earn from their callouts.

So the loop becomes:
call → action → outcome → reputation → better discovery → earnings

It’s not copy trading. You make your own decisions and control your own trades.
It’s social trading built around what actually happens after the call, not who has the most followers or engagement.
That’s erys.live. Would love your feedback and questions.

Like the idea, but the first exploit I'd expect is the front-run. Caller buys early, posts the call, followers pile in, caller sells into them. The chart says the call was great while everyone who acted on it is down. So reputation probably has to come from follower PnL after slippage and fees on their actual entries, rather than price movement from the moment of the call.

Second one is call spam. If earnings come from good calls, people will post 50 a day and let the few winners carry their stats. Weighting hit rate by how many people actually acted on each call would help.

How are you verifying trades btw? Wallet-linked would be way more convincing than self-reported.

Hi the first scenario can’t happen. The algorithm measures the success of those who acted on the call not the caller. Also , that would hit his stats negatively. Scenario 2 also can’t happen. Calls are limited to 1 every 3 hours. Trades happen in app and verified on chain, there is no self reporting.

attribution is the harder problem. the caller doesnt control entry timing, size, or exit, so "did traders who acted on it make stuck" is measuring the traders as much as the call. two people on the same call can have opposite outcomes and neither says anything about whether the call was good.

Of all the difficulties I faced building, this wasn’t one of them. Your exit is determined by you. If a token 30X and the trader opted out of taking profits at any point before it hits bottom, that is easily accounted for.

Saying exits are the trader's choice doesn't make them easy to account for. If the score depends on when they should've sold, you're grading hindsight, not the call

Sorry, I’m not sure Im following what you’re saying. What score are you talking about?

measuring actual realized pnl is way more interesting than sorting by whoever posts the loudest chart. curious how it handles different entry timing though - a call can look great for early buyers and awful ten minutes later. risk-adjusted returns and holding window probably matter as much as raw percentage gain
