Current situation

r/ethtrader is a great place to learn and be on top of the latest news regarding Ethereum ecosystem but it lacks of a Reddit integrated way of showing price changes directly from the app.

A month ago a Reddit Devvit powered app called Crypto Market https://developers.reddit.com/apps/crypto-market was released allowing Reddit communities to add a pinned post with their favorite token market data or a dashboard with a list of customizable tokens market data feed.

Problem

Right now r/ethtrader lacks dynamic, up to date crypto market data directly embedded in the community.

This results in users needing to leave Reddit to check markets and a missed opportunity to become a hub for Ethereum aligned projects

Solution

Add the Crypto Market Devvit app to the subreddit to display real time Ethereum ecosystem data in a pinned post.

The app is fully developed and Devvit native, meaning it is optimized for Reddit and already meets platform standards.

Regarding the tokens or the format of the app to use, it will fall under mod team discretion to make configuration and usability be able to adapt to different scenarios and needs.

Advantages

• Brings real time value to r/ethtrader
• Increases user retention and crypto engagement
• Possibility to highlight a token as a featured asset in exchange for a DONUT burn, creating a new utility use case.

Disadvantages

• Some users might find it too crypto heavy.
• Reddit may not like the possibility of promoting an asset in exchange for a DONUT burn

Conclusion

This proposal aims to level up r/ethtrader by adding real time Ethereum data in a Reddit native and easy to understand way.
