Body (What, How, When, Who)

Project Name: Trade Clash
Website: tradeclash.xyz

Description:
Trade Clash is a news-driven AI economy simulator where real headlines trigger chaotic reactions from autonomous world leaders. Every hour, breaking news from Bloomberg, CNN, and Twitter flows directly into the game, causing AI presidents and CEOs to overreact with wildly different policies—creating predictable patterns in the madness. Players compete as “Chaos Brokers” in free-to-play tournaments, staking on which economies boom or bust to climb the global leaderboard and win real token airdrops.

Built on Base, Trade Clash features a sophisticated Agent-Based Model that simulates trade flows, supply chains, and economic cascades using real economic and game theory principles. The twist? Each AI leader has exaggerated personality traits that turn rational economics into profitable chaos. Players don’t need to understand complex economics—they just need to recognize patterns like “oil news = PumpFederation profits” or “tech rallies = AmeriCorp gains.” With 24/7 gameplay driven by real-world events, no two tournaments are ever the same.
