Nexus
A crypto exchange built for Hackfest ’24 that watches the trader as well as the market: mood tracking, stress read from trade metrics, and nudges to step away.
What I did
Built in a hackathon with Vinayak Rai, Priyesh Gupta and Aarsh Desai. I set up the Vite + React app and built the dashboard and coin pages, the stress metric, the market-volatility and trade-analysis routes, mood logging, and the educational content.
Who I made it with

What it’s for
Most trading apps are designed to keep you trading. Nexus flipped that: it tracked mood, estimated stress from trading behaviour, suggested breaks and limits, and put education and risk tools next to the exchange.
Why it was hardTurning “emotional well-being” into something software can act on, using signals a trading app already has, inside a hackathon clock.
Features
Emotional monitoring, interventions and safeguards, educational support, anxiety reduction and risk management, on top of a working exchange UI.
