Stocky dodo

The stock and crypto markets can be intimidating for beginners, with complex jargon and high risks often discouraging people from engaging with investing. Stocky Dodo sought to address this by creating a platform where users could learn and practice trading in a risk-free environment. The challenge was to design a mobile application that combined education, entertainment, and user engagement through gaming. The app also needed to be visually appealing and user-friendly, ensuring that users of all ages and backgrounds could easily navigate and enjoy the learning process.

Codewave developed the Stocky Dodo app, which provides a seamless and engaging platform for users to learn about stocks and crypto through game-based learning and video tutorials. The app was built using JavaScript, MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js), React Native, and Flutter to ensure a dynamic, scalable, and responsive experience across mobile devices.

Key features of the solution include:

• Learn: Bite-sized videos that break down key financial and investment concepts in a fun and easy-to-understand manner.
• Play: Users can participate in skill-based contests across multiple asset classes and exchanges, building portfolios, and competing in a risk-free environment.
• Engage: Social features such as inviting and challenging friends, comparing portfolios, and learning from others’ successes and failures enhance user interaction and enjoyment.

The app’s intuitive UX/UI design ensures a smooth and visually engaging user experience, making financial education accessible and enjoyable. The use of a serverless architecture ensures scalability and robust performance during high traffic periods, while also providing a seamless backend management experience.

The Stocky Dodo app has successfully gamified financial education, making investing fun and accessible for beginners and financial enthusiasts. By allowing users to practice investing without risking their savings, the app has reduced the fear and complexity often associated with trading. Its engaging contests and social features have driven user participation and retention, creating a lively community of users eager to learn and compete. The platform’s success has positioned Stocky Dodo as an innovative player in the edtech and fintech spaces, providing a fun and effective way for people to build their financial literacy.
