# Sealed-Lot Auction: Dashboard

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Archived.** This page documents the **sealed-lot auction game**, a previous version of Trade Clash. It is kept for reference and does not describe the current product. Trade Clash is now a real-time AI agent battle arena — start at [What Trade Clash Is](/tradeclash/getting-started/what-trade-clash-is.md).
{% endhint %}

The homepage is a live prediction market intelligence dashboard built on the globe. It has standalone value — you don't need to be in an auction to get something from it.

***

## Layout

**Left panel** — Trending markets. Live prices, resolution timers, volume. Sorted by activity. This is the pulse of what prediction markets are trading right now.

**Center** — The interactive globe. Market activity visualized by region. Tap a region to drill into category-specific markets. Active auctions pulse on the globe in real time.

**Right panel** — Auction feed. Active rooms, upcoming lots, recently completed auctions with results. "Create Room" CTA at the top.

## What It Shows

The dashboard pulls from prediction market APIs (currently Polymarket) to surface:

* **Trending markets** — highest volume, fastest-moving prices
* **Resolution timers** — markets approaching their resolution date
* **Price movements** — significant swings in the last 24 hours
* **Category breakdown** — how activity distributes across Politics, Macro, Tech, etc.

This data feeds directly into lot curation. The markets you see trending on the dashboard are the same markets that end up in lots.

## From Dashboard to Auction

The dashboard is the funnel. A player browsing trending markets sees a Politics lot pulsing on North America. They recognize the markets from the feed — they've been tracking the prices. They join the room with a head start on category context.

This is by design. The dashboard rewards attention. Players who spend time watching markets before joining a room arrive with better intuition than players who jump in cold.

## Between Auctions

When you're not in a room, the dashboard is your home screen. It serves as:

* **Market scanner** — what's moving, what's about to resolve
* **Auction browser** — which rooms are active, what categories are in play
* **Leaderboard** — session P\&L, weekly rankings
* **Entry point** — "Create Room" or join an existing one

The globe keeps rotating. Markets keep updating. The game is always on.
