Did you know NFTs have serious business use cases?

When people think of NFTs, they usually think of digital art and a whole lot of gimmicks that skyrocketed in valuation before crashing into the dirt. What many didn’t consider is how important NFTs can be for authenticating documents.

Here are three ways NFTs solve real world challenges:

1.- Record of ownership of physical assets like cars and other high value items.
It’s much easier to sell and buy with confidence when you have an immutable ledger tracking the ownership history of something. You can buy a car or a nice watch without worrying that it was stolen and the paperwork was forged.

2.- Business records and legal documents
A common challenge is keeping track of changes and document versions. With NFTs, there is no question about this record. If you turn a legal contract into an NFT, for example, no one can claim they were operating under a different version of it.

3.- Education and professional certifications and credentials
There is a big problem around the world with people using fake credentials and certifications to get advantages in business and in job searches. If these credentials were issued as easily authenticated NFTs, the ability to “fake it till you make it” would dry up almost overnight.

What other use cases can you think of for NFTs that are better solutions than the current system?

Let us know in the comments.

💥 Arithmetic vs Geometric Grid Bots: Ultimate Showdown! 💥

🤖 Grid Bots are taking the crypto trading world by storm! These automated trading tools implement the coveted "buy low, sell high" strategy effortlessly.

But which one reigns supreme? 🏆 Arithmetic or Geometric Grid Bots?

1.- Arithmetic Bots:
- Fixed price steps for consistent intervals.
- The step is determined by the value of the price change in the quote currency.
- Order size is determined by volume value of base currency.

2.- Geometric Bots:
- The step is determined by a percentage value of the price.
- Order size is determined by volume value of quote currency.
- Trailing up capitalizes on uptrends.

So which bot fits your trading style? 🤔 The steady arithmetic rhythm 🎵 or the geometric growth trajectory? 📈

DCA Bot Safety Orders - What You Need to Know About Step Scale and Volume Scale 📊📉

Safety orders are an important part of managing risks with your bot trades 🤖. Here’s a quick refresher on how step scale and volume scale settings work on your DCA bots:

📈 Safety Order Volume Scale

This setting multiplies the volume of each new safety order.

For example, you have a bot with a safety trade size set to 0.1 BTC with a scale of 2, meaning they double each time. If the scale is 3, they would triple.

1.- SO1 is 0.1 BTC.
2.- Multiply it by the scale. So SO2 would be 0.1 * 2 = 0.2 BTC.
3.- SO3 would be 0.2 * 2 = 0.4 BTC.
4.- Then SO4 is 0.4 * 2 = 0.8 BTC
5.- Etc.

With this tool set, traders with a very big appetite for risk can also run the Martingale strategy 🎲. This involves a trader doubling their trade size after each consecutive loss. The goal behind this strategy is to recover all previous losses with a single winning trade that is substantial enough to cover the accumulated losses. This is a very high-risk strategy, so traders should exercise appropriate caution before employing it ⚠️.

📉 Safety Order Step Scale

The scale will multiply each step by a percentage.

Example: You have a bot with a safety order price deviation of 1% and a scale of 2. Here’s how it would work:

1.- For SO1, the deviation is 1%, meaning we go down. 0 + -1% = -1%.
2.- For subsequent safety orders, we multiply it by the scale, so the new step will be 1% * 2 = 2%. SO2 will look like this: -1% + -2% = -3%.
3.- Multiply the previous step % by the scale and you get: 2% * 2 = 4%. SO3: -3% + -4% = -7%.
4.- Keep following this pattern, and you have Step: 4% * 2 = 8%. SO4: -7% + -8% = -15%.
5.- Etc.

Fresh updates to the Multi Take Profit feature for DCA Bot!

We've improved the Multiple Take Profit feature for the DCA bot and want to share with you what we've enhanced:

1.- Creation of DCA Bot with Multiple Take Profit: We've refined the creation process of the DCA bot to include the Multiple Take Profit functionality along with the Convert Deals to SmartTrade feature. Now, if you wish to convert a DCA bot deal to SmartTrade, the multiple take profit levels will be correctly converted.
2.- Editing DCA Bots: Version one had occasional difficulties with editing DCA bots that used the Multiple Take Profit feature. We’ve resolved the issue.
3.- Improved Switching between Settings: We've enhanced the switching functionality within the deal closure settings. In the Take Profit section, switching between "Price change, %" and "Conditions" settings will no longer reset the configurations. This removes a point of frustration for users.
4.- Editing Deals with Multiple Take Profit: We've added the ability to edit deals with the Multiple Take Profit feature. You can now easily change the target levels for multiple take profit both in the bot and within the deal itself.
5.- Enhanced Deal Page: The deal page has been improved to make the different profit-taking levels more visible. Additionally, you now have the option to close part of the deal at market price without waiting for the price to reach the target level.
6.- Minor Fixes: We've fixed minor issues related to Multiple Take Profit functionality.

These improvements are aimed at enhancing your experience and providing more flexibility and control over your trading strategies.

Binance has scheduled a Spot API update: no service impact expected

Binance is one of our most popular exchanges, so in case you didn’t see it, we’re posting an update Binance announced for their Spot API for June 18, 2024 at 05:00 UTC.

A few traders reached out to ask if this update will impact their use of 3Commas or if it requires them to do anything to prepare, fortunately no action is required.

As a reminder, any planned or unplanned maintenance that may affect 3Commas traders will be posted on our 3Commas Status Page - where you can subscribe to receive email notifications, too!

You can find the full announcement here

In our weekly updates, we’re going to focus on big news in the crypto industry. This includes news about regulatory changes, big price movements, and interesting new tools and projects.

Let's take a look at this week’s updates:

1.- Bitcoin ETFs Records $200m Outflows: The U.S listed spot bitcoin ETF records $200m in outflows, the second consecutive day of outflows driven by Grayscale's GBTC without any inflows.

Why it matters: ETFs experiencing net outflows higher than inflows can reflect a lack of investor confidence. However, given how new these funds are, it is possible some investors are pulling funds to invest in distressed assets in other markets.

2.- Polygon to Unlock 1B Tokens through new Grants program: Polygon has launched a new grant program to reward 1B tokens over the next 10 yrs to Polygon chain builders.

Why it matters: Polygon is promising to reward builders who add value to their ecosystem. So while they’ll be diluting the coin supply somewhat, in theory the value added to Polygon as a functional service should push up the price more than the increase in supply will lower it.

3.- Ireland Central Bank Grants VASPs License to Crypto.com: Central Bank of Ireland has granted virtual assets providers License to Crypto.com allowing it to offer crypto-to-fiat services.

Why it matters: Every time another crypto company gains official acceptance into the financial system of any country, it’s a win for everyone in the crypto space.

Grid Bot Trailing Up and Expansion Up: What you need to know

Trailing Up
This feature is available for:
Spot Grid bots (Geometric type)
Futures Grid bots with Long strat (both types)
This feature allows your bot to increase the trading range, following the market when the price trends upwards out of your existing grid.

How does Trailing up work?

Once the price rises 2 steps above the High price of the bot, the lowest buy order is canceled and placed 1 step above the bot's High price. As the price continues to rise, this process is repeated with the lowest buy orders being canceled and placed one step above the previous high price.

Expansion Up
This feature is available for:
Futures Grid bots with Reversal and Short strategies (both Geometric and Arithmetic types).
This feature lets you expand the trading range upwards to follow the market.

Stop Expansion Up
Set the limit for the top price you want your grid to expand to.

How does Expansion Up work?
Expansion Up requires an additional investment since the bot does not cancel old Buy orders but places additional Sell orders above the bot's upper boundary.

As soon as the highest Sell order is executed, the bot will automatically place an additional Sell order one step higher without canceling the lowest Buy order. Thus, the user-defined number of lines will increase due to additional orders until the price reaches the Stop expansion up level.
