We’re excited to announce that our beta will be released this Sunday! This will be our last technical post pre beta and we’re all really excited to show everyone how to use it!

This launch is an important milestone for us at Auctus, but we think even more so for the blockchain community. It’ll give everyone access to a fair and transparent investment platform. Giving users transparency on how traders analyse cryptocurrencies, is going to change the way current investors perceive crypto trading. Furthermore, it will help to onboard users who were too shy to pull the trigger and invest in cryptocurrencies.

In this post we’ll be going over how to sign up for the beta and break down its functionalities for both, Experts and users.

Alright so let’s get right to it!

Experts

Become an Expert

So you want to become an Expert?! Great! Here’s how:

In order to become an Expert you need to submit an application for review and approval. You can apply by simply clicking on “Become an Expert” on the top menu.

We want a diverse group of Experts, so we encourage anyone who’s interested to sign up and submit an application!

Before you begin the application process, you’ll be asked to log in. If you don’t have a login yet, you can choose to sign in with Google or Facebook, or you can simply create a login manually.

After you’ve logged in, you’ll be asked to fill out the required information. It’s important to fill out all the fields since we’ll take that info and make a profile for you.

After you log in, fill out the application and click submit. Soon after you’ll receive an email with the analysis results. If you’re approved, then the fun begins ;)

To make your first rating, click on “New Rating” and choose the asset you want to rate. The system will automatically insert the current price and you’ll be able to open a BUY, SELL or HOLD position.

Congratulations! You’ve just completed your first asset rating =)

There are several parameters that go into how an Expert is rated, so to help you understand the rating algorithm and improve your rating, check out this post.

Maximize your Earnings

To boost our launch, we’re offering different types of bonuses for proactive and engaging Experts. We’re building a community, so we want our Experts and users to be hands on! :)

Referral Program (Sign-up Bonus)

In order to increase our exposure and reward our early adopters, we’re offering 1,000 AUC for each user you bring to the platform. Share your code with your friends and help us grow our community!

Experts of the Month

We’ll also have a bonus structure for top Experts of the month. Each month, 5,000 AUC will be distributed to the top 3 Experts who are rated the highest on the platform.

1st — 2,500 AUC

2nd — 1,500 AUC

3rd — 1,000 AUC

Fast-Start Bonuses

A quick way to earn more AUC is to onboard users in your first month. If you onboard 5 users within your first month of sign up, then you’ll boost your commission to 1,500 AUC per user (normally 1,000 AUC).

Top Influencers

Sometimes being the most popular pays off. Literally. Each month we’ll give 5,000 AUC to the Experts who increased their follower base the most. So if you gain the most followers that month, we’ll reward you!

1st — 2,500 AUC

2nd — 1,500 AUC

3rd — 1,000 AUC

Users

Following the right Experts is what it’s all about. To start getting the most from Auctus Experts, click on “Top Experts” to follow your favorite Experts.

If you’re interested in a particular asset, you can always follow an asset and receive information from every Expert on the platform. This will enable you to easily see in one place what your favorite Experts are saying about any asset.

After you follow your favorite Experts and assets, your feed will automatically show you their latest ratings. On the top left, click on the “Auctus Experts” logo and you’ll be redirected to your feed. It’s nice to have this continuously shown since things can change quickly in crypto.

What’s great about the platform is that users can easily see details on Experts and assets. Just click on the asset or Expert’s profile to see their latest rating, performance, followers and more.

Twitter Experts

Twitter is currently one of the best public platforms being used by the best crypto minded people, but it’s not built for that, so it can be hard to keep track of all your favorite influencers. So in order to bring the best rating analytics to our platform, we’re going to make it easy for users to access and keep track of your favorite crypto Twitter influencers all within Auctus! All public tweets from crypto Twitter accounts will be uploaded to our platform and the data will be carefully added to their profiles.

All profiles that are being fed from tweets are indicated in the short description field.

If you know a good Twitter expert (that gives clear cryptocurrency recommendations) that hasn’t been uploaded to Auctus, use the hashtag #addAuctusExpert so we can take a look!

Referral Program

In order to boost our launch, we’re offering 1,000 AUC for each user you bring on to the platform! Share your referral link and code with your friends and contacts and help us grow our community!

You can find your personal referral link and code under “Rewards Summary” in your profile.

Rewards Summary also shows you how much bonus AUC you’ve earned.

Conclusion

That’s it! Now you can start using the platform and begin sending the referral code to your friends and earn more AUC!

This is just the beginning! We encourage everyone to really try out the platform and since this is our beta, we really hope to receive your feedback! We’re constantly collecting your ideas and thoughts and feeding our backlog for our next releases. Feedback ensures that we’re making the platform better with each release!
