Meet ‘Chinder’ (AKA Tinder for Cryptocurrencies)

TL;DR

  • Here’s the basic gist of Chinder: You’re shown a cryptocurrency’s chart and stats → you can swipe left to skip, or right to buy..

  • We’d bet that this product’s streamlined interface helps to reduce the mess of open tabs that tend to accrue when researching crypto projects..

  • Is this Web3’s ‘killer app’? Probably not. But it’s novel, creative, and requires nothing but a web browser to start using.

Full Story

Picture this, you’re 16 again…

You’ve got mid terms coming up.

To study more effectively you create flash cards. Every time you get an answer correct, you reward yourself with a piece of candy.

This new web-based app, Chinder.xyz (aka Tinder for cryptocurrencies), kinda mimics that process…

Here’s the basic gist:

You’re shown a cryptocurrency’s chart and stats → you can swipe left to skip, or right to buy.

Which, on one hand, is totally gimmicky.

(The concept shamelessly targets media businesses [like us], who will jump at any opportunity to write a catchy headline).

…on the other hand, the concept has genuine benefits.

Here’s where our flash card analogy comes back in:

If you’re into technical chart analysis, Chinder is like an automated flash card system, but instead of rewarding yourself with candy, you put financial skin in the game, with each answer you give.

E.g. Think the chart looks promising? Buy-in. Think it looks risky? Short it (aka bet that it will go down in price).

Plus, we’d bet that the streamlined interface helps to reduce the mess of open tabs that tend to accrue when researching crypto projects.

Is this Web3’s ‘killer app’?

Probably not.

But it’s novel, creative, and requires nothing but a web browser to start using.

And for that reason we give it two thumbs up, one chef’s kiss and a ‘molto bene’ 🤌
