Crypto market tools and data

Across 8 categories, 128 products for whoever pays in this market: the developer choosing a data API, an exchange SDK or a backtesting library; the researcher buying on-chain analytics; the trader picking a terminal, charting platform or bot. Every entry is held to one checklist, each answer dated: what every tier costs, where free runs out, which exchanges and pairs it reaches, whether quotes are tick-live or minutes old, and whether the terms let you store, chart or resell the data.

Exchanges themselves, wallets, custody, RPC nodes, tax software and signal or copy-trading services are left out on purpose.

Everything here that speaks MCP

51 of the 128 tools expose an MCP server an LLM can call directly — market data, on-chain analytics, execution, research. Nobody else keeps this list, so we do.

Frequently asked questions

What does "hands-on" mean on a card?

That we obtained a key or an account and used the tool ourselves — pulled the same ticker, hit the free tier until it stopped, followed the documentation to the place where it was wrong. No card carries the badge today: it marks the tools we did run, never the ones we intend to. The other 128 are compiled from the vendor's own documentation, pricing page and terms, and claim to be nothing more.

How often is a card updated?

Per block, not per page. Pricing goes stale in weeks and chain coverage in years, so each block on a card carries its own verification date and the ones that have gone old are flagged on the card itself. There is no site-wide "last reviewed" date, because it would be true of one block and a lie about the rest.

How is a tool filed into a category?

By the job it is bought for, not by its feature list. One product gets one primary category; a screener inside a charting platform is a capability flag, not a second category. The unit is a product, not a company, so one vendor can hold several cards.

What is not in the catalogue?

Exchanges, custodians and token calls — anything that holds your coins or tells you what to buy. What is in is software and data in whatever shape it arrives: hosted APIs, desktop terminals, open-source libraries and bots you install yourself, and the guides explaining how the industry prices all of it.

Does paid placement change what a card says?

No. A sponsorship buys a label and presentation — never sort position, never a rating, never a different set of fields, and free cards are never trimmed. Vendor-supplied copy renders in its own labelled block and is never merged into ours.

Can an AI agent read these pages?

Yes. Every card and listing has a plain-Markdown twin at the same URL with .md on the end — /tools/polygon-io.md, /tools.md — carrying the fields without the page chrome.
