Summary

Built and deployed a cryptocurrency monitoring bot at UtopiaDAO using FastAPI and Python that automatically finds good trading opportunities in the memecoin market. The bot pulls data from DexScreener API, analyzes it for important signals, and sends real-time alerts to Telegram channels.

Highlights

Developed a system that monitors live markets for over seven trading signal patterns with configurable settings.

Built a priority based notification system that sorts signals into high/medium/low importance, scores each signal.

Designed the bot with separate service modules (DexScreener, Telegram, MongoDB, Signal Detection) using FastAPI, making it easy to update.

Added performance tracking features for daily summaries of signals.

Connected MongoDB database to store token history, past alerts, and comparison data for pattern analysis.

Implemented efficient caching mechanism to store API responses and reduce repeated calls to DexScreener endpoints, staying within rate limits while maintaining real-time data accuracy.
