What to use instead of IntoTheBlock

The product

IntoTheBlock sold derived analytics rather than data. Instead of rows, you got per-asset indicators somebody else had computed: holder composition, in and out of the money supply, large transaction flows, machine-learning-derived signals — in a web app, in embeddable widgets, and through a REST API that a good number of dashboards, bots and newsletters quietly ran on.

It did not simply close. IntoTheBlock merged with Trident Digital to become Sentora, and the analytics product was retired in the process. The successor's own page says so in its own words: "After six groundbreaking years delivering blockchain data to traders, developers, and institutions, we've sunset the legacy web app, widgets, and API to relaunch as Sentora Research — a completely free, research-first solution for decoding decentralized finance." That page was read on 19 September 2026, and it carries no date of its own.

Which is the first problem for anybody trying to establish what happened and when. There is no announcement date, no changelog and no migration notice; the only datable record is the archive. The marketing site was still serving its own pages on 4 August 2025 and was answering a redirect to Sentora by 28 August 2025. The app outlived it slightly — still serving on 15 August 2025, redirecting by 12 October 2025. The date at the top of this page is that last one: the first day the product is demonstrably gone, not a day anyone announced.

Checked on 19 September 2026, the rest of the estate reads the same way. intotheblock.com and its www host answer 301 to the Sentora home page; app.intotheblock.com answers 301 to the research page; the old pricing URL redirects to the home page, so not even the price list survives. developers.intotheblock.com and docs.intotheblock.com do not resolve at all. api.intotheblock.com does resolve and does answer — with the string {"message":"Missing Authentication Token"}, an AWS API Gateway saying nothing is configured for you here.

And what stands in its place is a different kind of thing. Sentora Research is a publication: articles, reports, webinars and 18 hosted dashboards, free to read without an account. The company's central product is institutional DeFi vault management. Neither is something you can call from a cron job.

What to use instead

The reader who lost the app lost a chart. The reader who lost the API lost a job that ran every night, and that one has the harder week, because nothing here returns IntoTheBlock's indicator set under IntoTheBlock's names.

If what broke was an integration, Santiment is the closest shape: a curated metric library per asset rather than raw chain data, on-chain series sitting on the same axes as social and developer ones, and API access on every plan including the free one. Read the lag before you commit — free and Pro data runs behind, and the cheapest plan whose API carries no time lag is Sanbase Max at $249 a month. If what you pulled was one daily number per asset across a wide universe, Coin Metrics is cheaper than all of this: its community tier needs no key and no account and returns daily metrics across 6,252 assets, with nothing exchange-reported in it.

If what you lost was the dashboard, Glassnode is the nearest equivalent and publishes a definition for every metric it draws, which IntoTheBlock's modelled indicators largely did not. Charts render free and viewing costs nothing; the trap is the API, which in the form that matches the charts is an annual Professional plan starting at $9,000 a year, while the $99-a-month plan's Light API is 14 days of history at daily resolution and 50 calls a day.

If what you used was the flow and valuation signals — exchange reserves, miner flows, MVRV — CryptoQuant is the direct match, on Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and TRON, with the on-chain endpoints starting on the $109-a-month Professional plan.

If what you used was holder composition and whale behaviour, Nansen answers that piece from the address side: labelled wallets, a free plan, Pro at $69 a month, and an API billed per call at $0.01 with no subscription at all.

What you give up

One vendor computing one indicator across a broad universe. That was the product, and it does not survive the split. CryptoQuant's on-chain metrics cover four chains and everything else in its asset list is price data only; Santiment's API returned twelve chains when this catalogue asked it on 19 September 2026. Covering what one ITB screen covered now means two subscriptions and a reconciliation.

Free and fresh at the same time. Every replacement here charges for one or the other. Santiment's free plan runs 30 days behind the present; CryptoQuant's free plan has no on-chain endpoints at all; Glassnode is free to look at and expensive to pull from. IntoTheBlock's own free tier is no longer checkable — the pricing page did not survive the redirect — so this is a change of model rather than a price comparison.

The widgets. Embeddable widgets were named in the vendor's own sunset sentence, and nothing in this catalogue advertises a drop-in embed as a product. What you get instead is an API and your own front end, or a chart to link to.

Modelled signals. The replacements publish measured quantities with stated definitions. A machine-learning-derived signal is a different claim about the world, and if your process consumed one as an input, the honest migration is to rebuild the model on measured inputs rather than to look for the same number somewhere else.

Migration notes

Delete the key and the host. api.intotheblock.com still resolves and still answers, so a monitor that checks reachability will show the integration healthy while it returns an authentication error for every call. Nothing documents it any more — both documentation hostnames stopped resolving — so there is no version of that host worth keeping in a config file.

Definitions do not carry across, and the numbers will not match. Active addresses is the standard trap: Santiment counts both sides of a transfer, each address once, which is the broadest of the common definitions; Artemis publishes two different active-address metrics of its own; Glassnode revises published history when entity clustering changes, and says so. Any chart that splices a new series onto an old IntoTheBlock series will show a step at the join that belongs to the definition, not to the market.

Price the fresh tier, not the entry tier. The cheapest plan that gets you current data with an API attached is Sanbase Max at $249 a month, CryptoQuant Professional at $109 a month for on-chain endpoints, or Glassnode Professional at $9,000 a year. All three figures are from our own cards, verified 19 September 2026.

Do not wait for an export. There was no migration window announced, no data export route published and no surviving terms page. Whatever history you had inside the app is not coming out of it.
