what's AlgoArena?

AlgoArena is a competitive auto-battler game built on the Movement Network blockchain, where players hire AI trading agents—such as Bullish Bob, Bearish Ben, or Crab Carol—to autonomously execute trading strategies based on live cryptocurrency price feeds from Pyth Network oracles. The game operates in 3-minute rounds: players vote on trading assets, agents battle in real-time with visible PnL updates, and performance determines leaderboard rankings. Micropayments via the x402 protocol (using ~0.001 MOVE tokens per agent) enable seamless wallet integration (e.g., Privy, Petra), powered by Move smart contracts for on-chain settlement.
