Per-asset on-chain indicators computed for you — holder composition, large transactions, machine-learning signals — in a web app, widgets and a REST API.

## Replacements

*Ordered by how much of the original’s job each one covers, closest first. Paid placement does not affect this order.*

1. [Santiment](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/santiment.md) — The closest surviving shape: a curated per-asset metric library rather than raw data, with API access on every plan including the free one.
2. [Glassnode](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/glassnode.md) — Replaces the dashboard you read, with every metric definition published — but the API that matches those charts is an annual plan, not an add-on.
3. [CryptoQuant](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/cryptoquant.md) — Covers the flow and valuation signals — exchange reserves, miner flows, MVRV — on four chains, with on-chain endpoints from $109 a month.
4. [Nansen](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/nansen.md) — For the holder-composition and large-wallet side: labelled addresses, a free plan, and per-call API access at $0.01 without a subscription.
5. [Coin Metrics](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/coin-metrics.md) — Reference-grade daily network metrics for 6,252 assets on an endpoint that needs no key and no account, if all you lost was a nightly pull.

## 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](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/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](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/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](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/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](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/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](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/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.

## FAQ

### When exactly did IntoTheBlock shut down?

The vendor never published a date. Its announcement page carries none, and there is no changelog. What can be dated is the archive: the marketing site still served its own pages on 4 August 2025 and was answering a redirect to Sentora by 28 August 2025, while the app itself was still serving on 15 August 2025 and was redirecting by 12 October 2025. This page uses that last date, because it is the first day the product is demonstrably gone rather than a date anybody announced.

### Does the IntoTheBlock API still work?

No. Checked on 19 September 2026, api.intotheblock.com still resolves and answers, but what it returns is the bare AWS API Gateway default, a JSON object reading "Missing Authentication Token", with no documented product behind it. Both documentation hostnames, developers.intotheblock.com and docs.intotheblock.com, no longer resolve at all.

### Is Sentora Research a replacement for the IntoTheBlock app?

Not for anything you automated. It is a publication — articles, reports, webinars and 18 hosted dashboards, free to read with no account and no paywall, as of 19 September 2026. There is no API, no export and no per-asset metric library to call. Sentora's own product line today is institutional DeFi vault management, which is a different business from selling analytics.

### What happened to paid IntoTheBlock subscriptions?

This catalogue could not establish it. The successor's announcement page has an FAQ that asks exactly that question, but its answers render only on click and are not present in the served HTML, and there is no surviving IntoTheBlock pricing or terms page to read — the old pricing URL redirects to the Sentora home page. If you were billed, the vendor is the only source.
