Name of the project: Maiga.Ai
Problems in the current Conflux Ecosystem
- Lack of AI-powered tools for traders
Most retail users on Conflux trade manually without smart tools or automation, leading to poor decisions and low engagement. - On-chain data is underused
While Conflux is fast and cheap, few apps turn its data into useful trading signals or predictions. - No gamified user experience
There’s a gap in fun, engaging features that reward users for trading, learning, or competing—especially for newcomers. - DeFi still feels complex
Many Conflux dApps are hard to use or understand for everyday users, limiting wider adoption.
Maiga’s Solution
- AI Trading Agent (MaigaXBT)
A Telegram-based AI bot that gives crypto trading signals, predictions, and insights—making smart trading easy for everyone. - Proof of Trading (PoT) Token Model
Rewards users based on real trading activity—encouraging usage and aligning incentives between traders, the team, and the community. - Gamified, Data-Driven Experience
Users can vote on predictions, earn XP, and unlock rewards—turning trading into an interactive game. - Developer-Friendly AI Tools
Maiga offers APIs to build smarter DeFi apps on Conflux, powered by AI insights and automation.
Alignment of the project with the Conflux Network
1.Benefit to the Conflux Ecosystem: How this product will entice more developers to build on Conflux
Maiga is designed to accelerate retail user adoption on Conflux by combining AI automation, gamified experiences, and unique incentive models:
- AI-Powered Trading Assistant (MaigaXBT)
MaigaXBT offers intelligent, easy-to-use trading signals and predictions via Telegram—lowering the barrier for new users to engage with DeFi and on-chain trading on Conflux. No prior trading expertise required. - Gamified User Experience
Users can vote on AI signals, earn XP, and compete in prediction challenges. This transforms passive trading into an engaging, interactive experience—encouraging daily usage and deeper ecosystem participation. - Proof of Trading (PoT) Token Incentives
Maiga rewards users based on real trading activity, not just holding tokens. This creates a sustainable flywheel of user engagement, incentivizing on-chain actions like swaps, predictions, and data contributions within the Conflux ecosystem. - Onboarding New-to-Crypto Users
By simplifying trading and integrating AI guidance, Maiga becomes a gateway for new users to explore Conflux, without the complexity typically associated with crypto platforms. - Cross-Chain Network Effect
Maiga’s existing users from other chains will be introduced to Conflux via campaigns, token rewards, and integrated AI tools—bringing new liquidity, attention, and growth to the network.
2.Economic benefit: How this product will increase assets and transactions on-chain
Maiga’s AI-powered platform is designed to directly stimulate economic activity on the Conflux network in the following ways:
- Increased Trading Volume via AI Signals & Gamification
Users act on AI-generated trading insights and engage in prediction-based gameplay, leading to more frequent swaps, token interactions, and on-chain voting—directly increasing transaction count and gas usage. - On-Chain Proof of Trading (PoT) Rewards System
The PoT model incentivizes real trading activity. Users must perform verified on-chain transactions to earn rewards, creating a sustainable loop of transaction generation tied to actual economic behavior rather than passive staking. - Liquidity Attraction & Asset Lock-In
As users participate in AI-assisted strategies, staking missions, and reward-based trading, they are encouraged to bridge assets into the Conflux ecosystem and retain them there to continue earning and interacting. - Cross-Chain User Migration
Maiga’s cross-chain user base will be funneled into Conflux through exclusive rewards, airdrops, and campaigns, bringing fresh capital and liquidity from external ecosystems. - New Use Cases for CFX & Conflux Tokens
Users pay for advanced features, access premium AI tools, or participate in PoT pools using CFX and Conflux-native tokens—enhancing token velocity and utility within the ecosystem.
3.Demonstrate a competitive edge that differentiates it from other projects
There are two unique approaches :
- Maiga AI is building an AI agent platform; trading agents, DeFi managers, automations, AI abstraction, and bonding curve launchpads similar to Virtuals, but on the other chains besides Solana.
- 1st in the industry “Proof-of-trading” PoT token model based on trading volume

Maiga AI is building an AI agent platform; trading agents, DeFi managers, automations, AI abstraction, and bonding curve launchpads similar to Virtuals.
Maiga’s AI agent (MaigaXBT https://t.me/maigaxbt_bot ) is our 1st version of AI agent for crypto signals, DeFAI and trading automation that we are building currently to help retail traders to make trading using AI & machine learning signals. By leveraging advanced technical indicators and a distinctive Donald Trump persona, it provides users with actionable trading signals while collecting valuable prediction data for AI training.
We leverage ElizaOS, ChatGPT 4o, with other machine learning model with data from CoinGecko, Binance real time API, with trading view and indicators to provide these trading data analysis and prediction model.
MaigaXBT offers both basic and advanced version of AI agent powered market analysis report such as:
- Detects price structure shifts and open interest volatility based on BTC movements, using metrics like Open Interest, Total Notional Value, and Volatility to identify whether the market is trending, ranging, or showing signs of reversal.
- The estimated BTC contract price is derived by dividing the total notional value by the open interest.
- Open interest shows how many contracts are currently active, while the notional value reflects their total market value.
- In short: the more contracts there are and the higher their total value, the higher the implied average price per contract.
- Identifies breakout liquidation events, and sentiment zones like greed or fear
- Analyzes capital inflow and outflow between BTC spot and futures over short intervals
- Reveals accumulation, distribution, or hedging behavior using flow direction and strength as criteria
- Examines RSI levels, moving average interactions, and support/resistance breaks across 5m to 1D Helps determine if short-term price action aligns or diverges from long-term BTC momentum
- Ranks all USDT-margined futures contracts based on 24h OI percentage changes and OI-volume ratios Highlights leveraged positioning trends, crowd buildup, and sentiment extremes across the market
