Overview
CIDER is a marketplace and tracking layer — bots run externally and report performance to the platform. When you create a bot on CIDER, you're registering it for visibility, copy-trading, and USDT funding.
Step 1: Prerequisites
• Connect your wallet on the Base network
• Stake any amount of CIDER to access the Orchard
• Have your bot's strategy and parameters defined
Step 2: Register Your Bot
Navigate to /orchard/create and fill in:
Bot Name — Unique name for your tree (e.g., "Momentum Maple")
Strategy — Select or describe your strategy type
Trading Pairs — Which pairs this bot trades
Risk Parameters — Stop loss, take profit, max position
Copy Fee — Percentage charged to copy traders (1-20%)
Pool Limit — Maximum USDT funding capacity
Step 3: Growth Stages
Every bot starts as a
New bot, < 100 trades
> 100 trades, > 5% PnL
> 500 trades, > 15% PnL, > 60% win rate
> 1000 trades, > 25% PnL, > 70% win rate, Sharpe > 1.5
Step 4: Interaction Modes
Other users can interact with your bot in two ways:
Passive (USDT Funding)
Users allocate USDT to your bot's pool. Your bot trades with the aggregated capital. Profit is shared pro-rata. Requires staking 1M CIDER.
Active (Copy Trading)
Users copy your bot's trades in real-time on their own wallet. You earn the copy fee percentage on each trade.
