Trading Game

An extension component to Practical Task #2. Top accumulators of $HD and sepoliaETH will be handsomely rewarded with possible extra marks. For more details on the rewarded marks and the task, please see Moodle. From when the ERC20 $HD token is deployed, students will be able to trade $HD tokens on the Uniswap decentralised exchange (DEX). The game will run for the duration of the course, and the leaderboard will be updated on a regular basis.
Final standings will be taken when the Practical Task #2 is due.
Trade $HD either via Uniswap's own frontend (app.uniswap.org), or via Horswap (2.horswap.eth.limo)
