Could you build this?
Partial The web frontend and metric scraping can be vibe-coded, but building a robust matching engine, handling financial settlement and solvency, and creating tamper-proof oracles for attention metrics requires specialized financial backend engineering.
What it would actually take: Built on a high-throughput order book engine (or EVM/Solana smart contract AMM) paired with verified oracles querying search, social, or developer telemetry APIs. The hard parts are real-time risk engine/margin calculation, slippage protection, oracle manipulation resistance, and regulatory compliance. Requires quantitative finance and distributed systems expertise.
