Social trading platforms are the newest trend in the crypto world. These platforms attempt to weave together a high-quality trading experience with social features to help strengthen their community and provide avenues for beginner traders to get going.
Today, we’ll be looking at one such platform- NAGAX, a part of the NAGA ecosystem with proven success in the field. We’ll be looking over what NAGAX is, how well it integrates the “social” aspect of trading, and above all if you should give it a go.
NAGAX is a new social trading platform allowing its users to copy others’ trades, share content with each other, and interact with each other. NAGAX plans to introduce a way for popular users to get paid for their content.
NAGAX’s official slogan is “Crypto Made Social” and we can see that in the effort they put into creating a community for crypto traders to trade and interact with each other. NAGAX also natively integrates with the NAGA Wallet, a multi-currency wallet where you can store different cryptos and fiat currency. The main benefits of a social trading platform boil down to minimizing content fragmentation. Content fragmentation makes it hard for beginners to jump into the crypto field. This is the issue the NAGAX crypto trading platform is attempting to resolve.
One of the best features coming soon to NAGAX is the Copy Trade feature. It allows you to copy the trades of another trader 1 for 1. This allows users to pick an expert whose trades they’d like to follow and immediately make the same trades as they do. This is excellent for beginners or those that simply enjoy the trading experience, but get less out of finding their own picks.
Alongside this, NAGAX will soon introduce a leaderboard feature. The leaderboard will show the top traders filtered according to a variety of different criteria. This will let users easily find high-quality traders to copy from, or simply ones they’d like to follow and read about.
NAGAX provides you with a news feed where you can see the latest news in the crypto world, which is extremely useful for new and experienced traders alike. It also provides you with a simple platform similar to social media where you can talk to other traders, ask questions, and compare experiences.
You can also chat with traders 1-to-1 via the Messages option. In addition to commenting on other users’ posts. You could write a whole article about everything you can do with the NAGAX feed. Thankfully, they did.
Educating traders and crypto enthusiasts alike are all part of NAGAX’s mission. Because of this, the platform incorporates the NAGAX Academy. This feature is still in active development, but it will be a great place for beginners to come and educate themselves about trading and crypto.
When the feature releases, you’ll be able to look at, ask, and answer questions from learners like yourself. There will also be modules where you’ll be able to track your learning. The NAGAX team is planning to implement a feature where you’ll be solving quizzes and getting NGCs in return.
Whenever a crypto trading platform releases, users will ask the age-old question of: is the platform safe? Is NAGAX a scam?
As far as we can see, NAGAX promises to be one of the most secure platforms on the market today. This mainly comes down to how secure the NAGA Wallet is. While the wallet is incredibly easy to use and can store fiat and crypto alike, it comes cram-packed with security features. This comes down to 4 main factors:
This, alongside the pristine track record of the rest of the NAGA ecosystem, convinces us that the NAGAX platform is perfectly safe to use.
Once you’ve registered an account on NAGAX and completed the verification process, all that’s left is to start trading. In the future, there will be more trading options such as crypto derivatives, however, there’s still more than enough meat on NAGAX’s bones.
One of NAGAX’s main features is crypto spot trading, allowing you to purchase, sell, and trade over 50 different pairs of supported assets. NAGAX’s user interface makes doing this a breeze. Many other exchanges suffer due to poor UIs and input delays costing their users their valuable funds. NAGAX is intuitive, easy-to-use, and there’s no perceivable input delay when putting in trades.
You can also set up a variety of different orders including limit buy/sell orders, market buy/sell orders, stop market orders, and more. These provide you with a wide variety of trading strategies you can set up on NAGAX.
Outside of spot trading, you can also use NAGAX as a cryptocurrency brokerage. NAGAX supports the purchase and sale of most major cryptos including ETH, BTC, LTC, and many other digital assets. You can also purchase crypto by using other cryptocurrencies stored in your NAGA wallet for added convenience.
Although still in development, the NAGAX NFT Marketplace seems to be an extremely promising place for NFT collectors and creators. On the NTF Marketplace, users will be able to create, buy, and sell NFTs.
The NAGAX NFT Marketplace will be built on the Ethereum blockchain. There will be no gas fees whatsoever for minting NFTs on NAGAX.
Another planned feature is to make NAGAX posts into NFTs themselves. Ideally, posts and trade events will be NFTs that you can follow, unlock, or copy. Since this will be done via a blockchain transaction, there will be some fees involved. Then, the fees will be shared between the user who posted and the NAGAX platform.
NAGAX has different maker and taker fees based on your VIP level:

The NAGA Coin or NGC is the decentralized cryptocurrency used for the NAGA ecosystem.
NAGA Coin is an ERC-20 token built on the Ethereum Network, and was initially launched via ICO back in 2017. Today, you can gain many benefits if you use, hold, or stake NGC.
All in all, NAGAX is definitely one of the most unique DeFi projects to come out in the past few years. The company has introduced a lot of innovation with its social trading experience and polished a lot of existing technologies with its intuitive UI and robust NAGA Wallet. The features we’re most excited about are the leaderboard and Copy Trade features. These allow new traders to learn about who the top traders are, and even copy their trades if they want.
NAGA Academy allows new traders to learn more about the crypto world and trading as a whole. The team is also planning to introduce features where you can earn NGC by completing quizzes. NAGAX fees are also quite low compared to most competitors, even without the ability to waive up to 87.5% of them by simply holding enough NGC.
If you’re interested in trading cryptocurrencies, or simply want to learn about the world of crypto, NAGAX is a great entry point.
Seems to be alright so far. Social trading might be a big thing soon. I’ve always felt pretty overwhelmed and yet lost with classic trading. No guidance, no oversight, no nothing. Following and literally mirroring moves of the big-time investors actually feels kind of like cheating. And if the whole thing goes sideways, there’s another face to blame, ha-ha.
