### 🛠️ Phase 2: Automation (USDC)

- **Goal**: Reduce operational friction.
- **Actions**:
  - **On-chain monitoring**: Detect USDC deposits to unique addresses.
  - **One-time Links**: Telegram bot automatically generates invite links with `member_limit=1`.
  - **JWT Auth**: Securing the Next.js frontend with subscriber-only tokens.

## 🚧 Critical Constraints

- **Weather-First**: We focus on the **physical variable changes** rather than exchange-side order book execution.
- **Quality > Quantity**: Alert fatigue will churn subscribers. We enforce a "True Probability Shift" rule for notifications.
- **Local Niche**: Ankara is our flagship differentiator.
