⛓️ Web3 & Crypto News Intelligence

Turn raw crypto news into actionable alpha.

This Actor is a high-performance intelligence agent that monitors the web's top decentralized technology sources. It doesn't just "scrape" news—it reads, analyzes, and structures it into trading signals, security alerts, and developer insights using state-of-the-art AI.

🚀 Why Use This Actor?

Most scrapers just give you a title and a link. We give you intelligence.

🧠 1. AI-Powered Analysis

Every article is processed by a Large Language Model (via OpenRouter) to extract:

• 📉 Trading Signals: Clear LONG / SHORT / NEUTRAL indicators.
• 💯 Impact Score (0-100): Instantly filter noise. Know if a story is "irrelevant" (10/100) or "industry-defining" (95/100).
• 💲 Tickers: Automatically extracts affected coins (e.g., $BTC, $SOL, $AAVE).
• 📜 Smart Contracts: Detects and extracts contract addresses (0x...) from hack reports or launches.

🛡️ 2. "Unblockable" Architecture

We use a robust "Scrape-First, Search-Fallback" engine:

1. Attempt 1: High-speed direct scraping of the article HTML.
2. Attempt 2: If blocked (403/429), the Actor automatically queries Brave Search API to reconstruct the context from rich snippets. You always get data, never a blank page.

📢 3. Real-Time Community Alerts

Connect a Discord Webhook to automatically post beautiful, color-coded alerts for high-impact news directly to your trading group or community server.
