Academy
From the basics of crypto to how AI Grid and AI Strategy work. Ten lessons, about 6 to 8 minutes each. No prior knowledge needed.
Crypto basics
- Lesson 1
What is cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency is a digital asset secured by cryptography and recorded on a blockchain. This lesson explains how it differs from a bank account, the main types, and why prices move so sharply.

Stablecoins and USDC
Stablecoins peg their price to the US dollar, making them practical for pricing and settlement. This lesson explains how USDC is issued and backed, its risks, and why SleeplessNode prices everything in USDC.

- Lesson 4
Before you deposit: addresses and networks
The address determines where funds go; the network determines which blockchain they travel on. This lesson explains the networks SleeplessNode supports, confirmation times, the minimum deposit, and how to check before sending.

AI and trading
- Lesson 5
Why use AI to trade crypto
Crypto markets run around the clock, generate enormous data, and move sharply—characteristics better suited to machines than to people. This lesson explains AI's advantages and limits in trading, and how to think about it realistically.
About 7 min
- Lesson 6
What is AI Strategy
AI Strategy reads data to call direction, then buys, sells, or stands aside based on that read. This lesson explains the workflow, common trading styles, how it differs from AI Grid, and how it runs on SleeplessNode.

AI Grid
- Lesson 7
What is AI Grid
AI Grid buys low and sells high in batches within a price range. The AI sets the range, level count, and amount per level, and adjusts the range or pauses when conditions change. This lesson uses a worked example to explain how it earns, when it can lose, and what markets suit it best.
About 8 min
- Lesson 8
How to choose an AI Grid
When choosing an AI Grid, look at the pair, spot vs futures, max drawdown, last-30-day return, and minimum amount. This lesson explains what each means and how to evaluate it.
About 6 min
- Lesson 9
Understanding risk
Both AI Grid and AI Strategy can produce losses. This lesson explains each source of risk—price dropping below the range, wrong directional calls, leverage, and fees—and how to protect your account and funds.
