Information is the foundation of good decision-making. Cryptocurrency innovates at the speed of light. New protocols are constantly coming to market, promising to solve some of mankind's greatest financial troubles. While their intentions might be good, the result is a cluttered, noisy environment that promotes FOMO & makes it nearly impossible to make sound decisions. In order to succeed in the wild, volatile, & often opaque world of cryptocurrency it is necessary to quiet the noise & hone in on real signals. The best way to do that is by building out your own Crypto ToolKit. Quick Notes on building a Crypto ToolKit: -) Do not use every single tool (unless you’re a crypto savant) -) Review each resource/tool individually (5–10 min per resource) -) Select only the ones that appeal most to your specific preferences As you might already be aware, the crypto-verse is highly fragmented in the sense that there are many different chains & protocols. Given that not all chains & protocols are interoperable (yet), all of the tools listed provided below are will be as general & multi-purpose as possible. Without further ado, Let's dive in: 📊 Market Data 📊 The starting point of almost every person’s crypto journey, Market Data providers are listing sites that aggregate all open financial digital asset data.

Wallets are exactly what they sound like, places to securely store/view your crypto asset holdings. Wallets typically come in 2 flavors, Chain-specific & Chain-agnostic. Chain-specific wallets are tied to a single blockchain platform (i.e ETH/BNB). These will only be able to store their native chain tokens, but allow the users to interact with on-chain assets/applications. Whereas chain-agnostic wallets might allow their users to store crypto assets from any blockchain, but that is the limit of their capabilities as they are usually single-purpose only (storage) 1) MetaMask - https://metamask.io/ 2) MEW - https://www.myetherwallet.com/ 3) Dynamic - https://www.dynamic.xyz/ 4) XDEFI - https://www.xdefi.io/ 5) Enkryptic - https://www.enkrypt.com/ 6) Argent - https://www.argent.xyz/ 7) Dopamine - https://dopamineapp.com/ 8) TrustWallet - https://trustwallet.com/ 9) Eidoo - https://eidoo.app/ 10) Dapppocket - https://www.dapppocket.io/ 11) Atomic Wallet - https://atomicwallet.io/ 12) Bread Wallet - https://brd.com/ 13) Guarda - https://guarda.com/ 14) Exodus - https://www.exodus.com/ 15) ZenGo - https://zengo.com/ 16) Coinomi - https://www.coinomi.com/en/ 17) Luno - https://www.luno.com/en-US 18) Ambire - https://www.ambire.com/ 19) Jaxx - https://jaxx.io/ 20) Edge - https://edge.app/ 21) Freewallet - https://freewallet.org/ 22) Coinbase Wallet - https://www.coinbase.com/wallet 23) Coin Wallet - https://coin.space/ 24) Ballet Wallet - https://www.ballet.com/coins/ 25) Unstoppable - https://unstoppable.money/ 26) Brave Wallet - https://brave.com/wallet/ 27) BitPay - https://bitpay.com/wallet/ 28) Crypto.com - https://crypto.com/us/defi-wallet 🔎 Explorers 🔍 Explorers are software tools that allow users to inspect the activity that has happened/is happening on-chain.

200+ Essential Crypto & DEFI Tools for 2023

We all have heard about the currencies of different countries. But with digitization, people have now become used to utilizing things that are not physical but virtual. One of the best examples of this is the ever-growing buzzword Cryptocurrency. This subject has been a trendsetter since the year 2009. The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the developer of Cryptocurrency, has not been publicly revealed, but he has changed the way people used to think about digital money. We all have bought goods and services in exchange for money. That is how this works. You buy something, give the exact amount of value it costs, and get the product. This is not the case with Cryptocurrency. Though many people might take Cryptocurrency as actual currency, but is it really? Let’s find out! What Do You Mean by Cryptocurrency? “Cryptocurrency is a type of currency which uses digital files as money,” says Wikipedia, but let us understand it better and realistically. Just like other currencies have a regulating body, Cryptocurrency or Crypto has none. They are instead decentralized and controlled by people, lots of people. It is a form of currency that lives digitally or virtually and does not rely on banks for the verification of their transactions. You do not need to carry Cryptocurrency in your wallet to make transactions; instead, they exist as digital entities in an online database that records and describes various transactions performed. The transactions of transferring Cryptocurrency are recorded in a public ledger. And the wallets that you can store Cryptocurrency in are called digital wallets. There’s a common question that pops into a lot of minds, why the name Cryptocurrency? This is because the transactions are verified through encryption which provides safety and security. The transmission and storing of Cryptocurrency data from digital wallets to public ledgers are done when massive coding is involved. Now, this is a basic understanding of the term Cryptocurrency. It is a very deep and large-scale topic. There are numerous coins that you can look up to on various platforms like Market Cap, Nomics, Binance, etc. The first ever Cryptocurrency was Bitcoin which is the most well-known coin. Though this does not clear your doubts and confusion about Cryptocurrency. So, let us have a look at the few terminologies that will make you understand better Cryptocurrency and what it is. Terminologies Related to Cryptocurrency Altcoin Bitcoin is the first and most famous Cryptocurrency among the others. People who are not very well versed in the subject of Cryptocurrency often mislead Bitcoin with the only Cryptocurrency that exists. This is not true. So, the term Altcoin refers to all the other coins except for Bitcoin. Blockchain The process of tracking assets and recording transactions in a defined business network is done through a ledger called the blockchain. Assets are both tangible and intangible. We all know that business runs on verifiable information. The faster we receive, the more precise it is. Through a blockchain network, you can track orders, accounts, payments, and a lot more. Private Key Just like to access our Debit card, we need a PIN; in the same way, a private key is what permits the Crypto user to be the owner of the digital currency at a particular address. The blockchain wallet accordingly generates and keeps the private keys stored for you safely. A private key is a 12-word long password that lets you access your Cryptocurrency funds and should never be shared with anyone under any condition. Public Key Just like you have various IDs on payment methods, the public key is somewhat related to it. While a private key is not to be shared with anyone, a public key can be shared with others. The public key is a code that is linked with the private key. Anyone can send transactions to the public key, but you need to access the private key first to unlock them. This is just to prove your identity first to avoid unforeseen situations. Gas No, this is no other gas we are talking about. This is completely related to Cryptocurrency. Now, when we shop online, we often bear an amount by the name of the delivery charge for the service we get. To complete a transaction on the blockchain, you need to make a payment. This payment individuals make is known as Gas. This fee, in turn, is used to compensate the miners for the computing power they have to make use of to confirm blockchain transactions. Bull Market This term has nothing to do with the animal bull. But the one thing that bull and bull markets have in common is they keep their head up high when it’s show time. In a bull market, the demand for Cryptocurrency is more and the supply less. Various investors are willing to buy Crypto, but many less are willing to part with them. This leads to a hike in the price as investors fight to purchase what’s still available. Bear Market There are often times when the supply is greater than the demand. This is what is defined as a bear market where the prices are falling, and the confidence is low. Cynical investors who believe that the prices will keep falling are referred to as bears. One thing to note is that it is difficult to trade in bear markets. Volatility It is well understood that the prices of various Crypto coins are not the same, and they change over time depending on the supply and demand. Volatility is the measure of how much the price of a particular coin has gone up or down. The more volatile an asset is, the riskier it is to invest. Comparatively, it also has more potential to offer either higher losses or higher returns over a short span of time. Out of the many, these are just a few terminologies we read about. I hope you now have clarity in your thoughts and a better understanding of what Cryptocurrencies are. I would not say you have become well versed with the subject after this article, but in the coming articles, I will be explaining more about the terms related to Cryptocurrency that can help you become the subject expert. You can connect with me . here Happy Reading! :)

Understanding Cryptocurrency - Part I - Basic Terminology 

In April 2021, Cosmos hit a historic milestone by launching the protocol (IBC), the Cosmos standard for blockchain interoperability. Inter-Blockchain Communication IBC enables independent blockchains to connect, transact, exchange tokens and other data, scale, and thrive in an interconnected network. In just eight months, we have witnessed the growth of a robust new economy. 25 chains have officially joined the #IBCGang — and many more are on their way! The Internet of Blockchains is growing fast thanks to IBC. To date, we’ve seen a massive 5.8 million IBC transactions occur and major traction among Cosmos DeFi applications. The ecosystem of , including Osmosis, Sifchain, the Gravity DEX protocol, and others, is expanding fast, making previously hard-to-discover tokens available and enabling transfers, swaps, and pooling of IBC tokens, among other activities. decentralized exchanges (DEXs) Taking Osmosis as an example, since its launch in June, this Cosmos DEX has garnered an impressive user base, seeing a , starting at $49 million and hitting an all-time high of over $730 million in December with daily trading volumes reaching over $85 million. OSMO/ATOM is the most popular liquidity pool, followed by OSMO/UST and LUNA/UST. huge leap in liquidity All applications and protocols that succeed with IBC and draw more users to Cosmos benefit the entire ecosystem and make DeFi on Cosmos a more engaging, satisfying, and rewarding experience for all. With DeFi on Ethereum now due to its exorbitant transaction fees (the average trade size on Curve Finance is now between $500,000 — $1,000,000), Cosmos is becoming a serious contender in this burgeoning sector with low fees, high liquidity, and a massive variety of DeFi applications. reserved for whale traders only Emeris, , no matter what blockchain they are built on, will take the user experience to the next level from its public launch. Already integrated with the Gravity DEX protocol, Emeris will offer users a browser extension wallet, a super-intuitive way of managing tokens cross-chain, and integration with many other protocols and DEXs. the portal to all crypto apps And there’s plenty more to come. IBC doesn’t stop at Cosmos-built blockchains. Coming up in 2022, we’ll be connecting to many other major ecosystems including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polkadot, and Celo, unlocking vast amounts of liquidity that will flow through the Internet of Blockchains. Read on to find out more about this journey and the next steps on our path. An Interconnected Network (#IBCGang) Worth $60+ Billion The 25 chains that have enabled IBC and interconnected to join the #IBCGang already have a combined market cap of more than $60 billion. Assets that are available for users to trade include ATOM, USDT, OSMO, LUNA, CRO, SCRT, and many others. Let’s meet the #IBCGang chains below. Since we began our first transaction between Cosmos Hub and IRISnet in April, we are now frequently registering more than in a 30 day period. Below, you can see graphical representations of IBC transactions, from quantity by chain to IBC transfers by zone. And did we mention, more Cosmos chains are coming fast? 1.7 million IBC transfers Coming soon to the #IBCGang will be another score of Cosmos chains each bringing unique features, use cases, and value to the Internet of Blockchains: Connecting to External Blockchains With IBC We’re thrilled to see the Cosmos economy growing, but our vision for the sustainable development of blockchain technology is far more inclusive than that. Enabling blockchain interoperability is not only about the Cosmos network. Multiple solutions are in the works right now that will allow us to connect to other major blockchain ecosystems. Let’s take a look at all the solutions using IBC to make it happen. Nomic is Building a Bridge to Bitcoin The creates an NBTC token that is redeemable for BTC, which can be sent over IBC and used throughout Cosmos. Nomic Bitcoin bridge This bridge makes use of Bitcoin’s new Taproot feature and provides strong safety guarantees, as, with some Bitcoin bridges, validators have the power to mint BTC tokens without them actually being deposited on the Bitcoin mainnet. With Nomic, this attack won’t work unless the validators also have a majority of the Bitcoin hash power. There is also a security feature that returns everyone’s Bitcoin on mainnet if the network has an extended liveness failure. Nomic’s design further ensures that malicious validators lose their stake even if they have 2/3+ of the voting power (and therefore are able to censor transactions). It also uniquely creates an opportunity for validators to earn BTC rewards, providing an additional incentive to use it. Nomic is working hard on rolling out this groundbreaking solution and we’ll get our first taste of it in the coming months (more details on this soon!). Axelar Is Connecting Cosmos to Bitcoin The is a decentralized network enabling cross-chain interoperability between all blockchain ecosystems. The suite of protocols supported by the Axelar network, including IBC, supports integrations with Cosmos, Ethereum, Polkadot, Avalanche, Fantom, and other chains. Its building blocks can be used by developers to deploy connections to other blockchains and develop custom protocols quickly. Axelar Network Axelar’s primary goal is to make it easy for developers to build their dApps on the blockchain platform best suited for their needs without sacrificing access to applications, assets, or users on other chains. To achieve this, Axelar is building a developer toolkit of protocols and APIs that run on top of their decentralized network of validators, which secure the network. This general-purpose toolkit enables developers to seamlessly build and deploy their dApps, while connecting their users to every blockchain participating in the Axelar network. Axelar is currently in a testnet mode with dozens of validators and hundreds of ecosystem participants building around the stack. Axelar also recently launched an and . incentivized community program community academy Connecting Cosmos to Polkadot and Kusama Very soon Cosmos will be connecting to Polkadot! There are several key teams working on robust IBC solutions that will allow the two giant ecosystems to interoperate. The support for integrating IBC into Substrate is already in active development, with teams from core Cosmos contributor working on major codebase refactoring such as Rust no_std support in ibc-rs (the repo that contains IBC module support in Rust). Informal Systems has been working hard as well at implementing IBC support for Substrate (substrate-ibc), and there have been some advances in the relayer logic in order to enable one-day transfers from a Cosmos chain to a Substrate chain. Octopus Network The team also has a number of efforts in progress to make this integration a reality, including working on an IBC light client for BEEFY, the substrate-based bridging solution for Kusama, to non-substrate based chains. Composable Finance This light client would be merged into the canonical IBC-go repo and would be available for all Cosmos chains to communicate with Kusama and Polkadot. In addition to this, Composable is working with to add support for substrate-based chains to ibc-relayer-go, and the Parity Bridges team to get BEEFY live on Kusama. Strangelove Ventures Enabling Interoperability Between Celo and Cosmos In coordination with the Interchain Foundation (ICF), the Celo Foundation to construct a bridge between the Cosmos Hub and Celo, making use of IBC technology. awarded a grant to Chorus One The bridge will expand interoperability between the Cosmos and Celo ecosystems, allowing users, funds, and value to flow more freely — another important step toward achieving a globally inclusive alternative financial system. The Proof of Concept for the integration has already been approved, the functionality is working, and the development teams are now testing the full integration with the relayers and end-to-end tests. Watch this space in the coming year! Driving Enterprise Interoperability with Hyperledger has been working on various solutions developing blockchain interoperability for enterprises, releasing an IBC module in Solidity that enables interoperability between different EVM-compatible blockchains, starting with Hyperledger Besu. Datachain This solution will allow for tokens, NFTs, and local currency built with Hyperledger Besu to communicate with different blockchains, such as Hyperledger Fabric. Interconnectivity between enterprise chains with IBC is a major step to onboarding global enterprises, helping them scale to meet the needs of their users, and grow for mass adoption of their applications. Bridging to Harmony Its Mainnet Ethereum Applications Datachain also recently that was unanimously approved to the Harmony blockchain community to build a bridge between Cosmos and Harmony. submitted a proposal Harmony’s mainnet runs Ethereum applications with 2-second transaction finality and 1000 times lower fees, as well as secure bridges to Ethereum and other chains. To develop this IBC-enabled bridge, Datachain will develop token transfer using ICS-20. The HRC-20 token on Harmony will be handled as ICS-20 on Tendermint based ledgers. The estimated timeframe for completion is three-four months, so taking Cosmos interoperability to a whole new level. Avalanche Connections Soon in the Works No concrete projects are yet in the works for a bridge to Avalanche, however, founder Emin Gün Sirer revealed that connecting to Cosmos through IBC was “something I’ve thought quite a bit about,” and said that “we could have Cosmos to Avalanche bridges in a very seamless manner.” We’ll be keeping a close eye on developments with this up-and-coming blockchain ecosystem! The Cosmos Hub Will Become the Interchain IBC Router Thanks to which was unanimously voted in, an IBC router will soon be added to the Cosmos Hub. This is a fundamental step in the continued growth and efficiency of the Internet of Blockchains. The Hub will become the Interchain Router, meaning that new zones joining the #IBCGang no longer need to maintain a large amount of infrastructure, such as archive nodes and relayers for each counterparty chain, to connect with the growing number of chains in the ecosystem. proposal 56 A new feature will be added to IBC on the Hub that enables packet routing for ICS20 transfers. Strangelove Ventures has delivered an that will allow the Hub to play the role of IBC Router. This marks the beginning of a new era of the Hub offering critical interchain services to other chains and, at the same time, allowing validators and stakers to benefit from these relationships. IBC Middleware module IBC Is Starting to Reach Its Full Potential With 25 chains already connected and the Cosmos Hub at the center providing vital interchain services, IBC is starting to reach its goals. Connecting to Bitcoin, Polkadot, Celo, Harmony, and other flourishing ecosystems will also greatly increase the utility and scope of Cosmos DeFi, unlock deep liquidity that will flow into the Cosmos ecosystem, and help grow the DeFi sector at large. Through IBC, we can improve inter-blockchain collaboration, and provide a much-enhanced user experience, from more intuitive interfaces and lower fees to a simpler way of managing their cross-chain assets. In 2021, IBC was launched, in 2022, we’re going to see what happens when it reaches its full potential.

Exploring Crypto Fundamentals with Josh Swigart on The HackerNoon Podcast

Explorando los fundamentos criptográficos con Josh Swigart en el podcast de HackerNoon

As cryptocurrencies become more and more familiar to the public, many novice users wonder if the decline of the days is temporary if it will continue in the bear market resulting in losses. But a common way for a new user to lose money from cryptocurrencies is not the decreasing price but to fall victim to cyber fraud. Due to the complexity of cryptocurrencies, many people fall into the trap of trusting illegal companies and strangers who promise some form of easy or quick profit. A cryptocurrency scam can be done in various ways and we aim to introduce you to some of the most "common" frauds. Read the most common cryptocurrency frauds Wherever you see a Twitter post or YouTube video or anywhere that says send this X amount of X cryptocurrency, and you will get back the double is always 100% a fraud. Do not be fooled by any mentioning that it is only for the top 100, is only for the next hour, or is someone famous doing it because it is not valid. Very often, scammers create celebrities’ accounts to create these scams. Anyone who wants to give something on the blockchain can automatically send it to our address (e.g., in the form of ). Never send coins or give any passwords. airdrop If you follow groups from a cryptocurrency and are particularly concerned with Instagram Twitter and telegram, there will be dozens of scammers who will send you messages every day about anything from investing in a new currency to selling their cryptocurrency. The well-known phone scams made by countries such as London, England, Sweden want to introduce us to a new company in which they want us to put even a small amount to start and make money for sure and quickly. I mean, there are people in my personal life who, because they know that I deal with cryptocurrencies, keep asking me if it is worthwhile to deal with the companies that have presented them in the respective phone calls to make money, as well as those who order ledgers. Unfortunately, they have to change their number because the situation became unbearable. There was an attack on the Ledger company as a result of which personal data leaked and so now there is a list available on the internet with names, emails, phone numbers, and addresses. This personal information is now available to anyone and scammers try by phone to present opportunities to a ready audience. Continuing the list, it is time to report mistakes that are made due to haste, such mistakes have to do with the search in Google or other browsers. Someone for example may want to install MetaMask and in google search appear first a sponsored advertising for MetaMask wallet. However, scammers have made a page clone so most likely we will not be able to spot the difference and download instead of MetaMask infected software on our computer or even worse give our security words to make a transaction. Never write your seed phrases to log in to your account because in that way we give unlimited access to our account and our money. Another scam alert is when you search for a specific cryptocurrency on google, and instead of going to the page of the currency you go to a clone page and buy a cryptocurrency that has the same name but has nothing to do with the token you wanted to buy. To avoid all this carelessness, the simplest solution is when someone wants to be transferred to a cryptocurrency site or exchange platform, visit coinmarketcap or and click on the official webpage. It is 100% accurate you are in the right place. nomics Frauds with wallet interaction As it is logical, most of us who are constantly looking for what new project come out or what new decentralized application is being made, many times in some of these pages, we permit our or other decentralized wallets to interact through Web 3. MetaMask wallet There are several such pages that, after connecting to MetaMask, ask us to make a transaction with the smart contract address of the page and move us to the next tab with the acceptance, and here comes the fraud! In the tab that will come out, usually many do not read what they give permission and just click accept, but even if they do read, the smart contract will have many tabs and we will only see the last one which may say something ordinary that will not arouse suspicion. To see all the tabs we have to go to a small point below that says transfer to the previous ones, and only then we will see the point that writes about consent to give permission for unlimited transfer busd, bnb, usdt, or anything other. If someone accepts it without realizing it, those who handle the smart contract address can steal your coins any time, not necessarily immediately. Frauds with dust attacks Crypto users who watch their wallets on etherscan and bscscan explorers will have noticed too many times that they have been sent small quantities of cryptocurrencies without having bought them themselves. These cryptocurrencies may not seem to have any value or may have great value depending on what scammers want to do. Usually, those that have no value are sent to too many wallets at once and their purpose is to try to gather information more easily about the transactions of your wallet. When they do this on a large scale, scammers try to combine information like what other wallets we have, what we do with our money, etc. This information, in combination with some leaks that will be made from our data from time to time by various points, creates an information profile that can be used by several third parties. Now in case they have great value, it is usually to make us try to redeem this value. However, since there will be no liquidity available in any exchange, they make us search a little more to find the currency’s website. Then they ask us to connect our wallet with the smart contract of the currency, and we permit to empty our money. Always double-check a new cryptocurrency The safest way to invest in a new cryptocurrency like Puppy coin is by checking the following: Token white paper Website Social media presence Exchange platforms Official partners Community forums Tokenomics Blockspot.io verified badge The best solution is to search a lot for any new project we are interested in and trust nobody that offers us easy ways to gain money from cryptocurrencies.

How to Avoid Cryptocurrency Fraud

From enterprise clients such as funds, traders and tax companies, to market makers, researchers, developers and crypto hobbyists - all are in need of a top cryptocurrency API. As the industry grows and matures, the quality of the data being offered to track cryptocurrencies has similarly grown, and the data on offer changes from year to year. But how do you decide which is best? In this article, we break down the top 5 crypto APIs for 2022. We assess the five APIs according to 11 criteria, so you can decide which API is best for your use case and highlight some standout features and drawbacks of those on offer. The table below summarizes how we assess the APIs: CryptoCompare Founded in 2014, is one of the most established data providers in the space, with several high profile clients including BT, Coinbase and Refinitiv. Offering four tiers of plan - Free, Professional, Corporate and Enterprise, their pricing ranges from $79.99 up to $199 for the Corporate plan, with custom pricing for Enterprise clients. CryptoCompare Featuring 273 exchanges, the CryptoCompare API stands out for the widest array of endpoints - standing at over 80 -  including streaming, minute and blockchain data from partner IntoTheBlock. Its Free tier offers all 80 endpoints, but is restricted to 1 day for its minute data and 3 months for hourly. However, it offers a generous 100,000 monthly calls as well as access to all 80 endpoints. Offering REST, Websocket, and FIX connections, it has the best connectivity options in the group, as well as additional features including SLAs and Private Servers. Good for Enterprise and power users such as traders, it provides granular tick data and real-time update frequency and a high level of customer support with a dedicated slack channel for clients. CoinMarketCap Boasting clients such as Samsung and Coinbase, one of the most recognized names in the cryptocurrency space, is the first port of call for many checking cryptoasset prices. CoinMarktetCap Its API comes in six tiers - Basic, Hobbyist, Startup, Standard, Professional and Enterprise - and ranges from free to $699 per month for its Professional plan and custom pricing for its Enterprise plan at the highest end. It features a wide range of cryptoassets, and offers from 9 endpoints (free plan) all the way up to 22 at the higher end of its price plans, as well as some partner integrations such as FCAS crypto ratings. Free users get 10,000 calls a month, which would likely be enough for most casual users, but it does not offer access to historical data. Integrated with 319 exchanges, the second-highest in the group, CoinMarketCap offers a good service for those looking to find data on smaller niche exchanges. With only 1 minute update frequency and 22 endpoints, if you are after real-time pricing and tick data as a trader or enterprise client, or a wide range of data endpoints, this may not be the API for you. CoinMarketCap’s support only extends to email at the highest level. - a point worth noting for power enterprise users. Nomics Founded more recently than the others in this group in 2017, features partners such as Coinbase, the Digital Currency Group and Polymath and offers a price ranking on their website. The Nomics API comes in two tiers, Free and Business (with no pricing featured on the site) and features a respectable 242 exchanges. Nomics The API is a good choice for enterprise customers and traders with SLAs on offer, both REST and Websocket, granular tick data with real-time updates, and no rate limits - although at only 17 endpoints - it offers the fewest endpoints to paid customers, and has no mention of pricing at this level. For free users, the options are very limited with only a few endpoints available, and no historical data. Kaiko A data provider which began operations in 2014, unlike the other 4 API providers we examine here, has no coin listing section on their site, focusing only on data provision. With clients including ChainLink and Ledger, Kaiko’s API caters only to paying users - with a 1 week free trial and offers two paid tiers Pro and Enterprise (with no pricing featured). Kaiko Offering no real free plan, and a limited number of exchanges, it is not really appropriate for free or hobbyist users. Offering a high level of customer support at its top end - with a dedicated slack channel for its Enterprise clients, it also offers data in both REST and Websocket connection. With granular tick data, and real-time update frequency, it offers fast data connections - making it a good choice for enterprise and trading clients, but currently only supports 12 endpoints. It is limited to 85 exchanges, so will cater to those interested only in the top bracket of exchanges. CoinGecko A very popular site for checking crypto prices, API is completely free - with no paid pricing plans. Integrated with the highest number of exchanges at 471, and with a huge 4 million free calls, CoinGecko stands out from the pack for free users - particularly for researchers or data scientists who have large data requirements or want to include data from smaller niche exchanges. CoinGecko’s Offering 21 endpoints, it does not offer the granularity of some of the other APIs considered here, however  - with only snapshot data and an estimated 30s update frequency. For enterprise users or traders, it is not a great choice as with no support offered, only REST connections, and less granular data it is unlikely to meet the demands of more exacting users.
