  • Required an intuitive user interface to streamline prediction participation and analytics.
  • Lacked advanced data analytics capabilities for processing and visualizing market trends.
  • Needed a blockchain-based payment system for seamless cryptocurrency transactions.
  • Required an admin dashboard to monitor and manage market predictions effectively.
  • Needed a leaderboard and ranking system to enhance user engagement and retention.
