Open resource
Research applications
  • Supports BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI and ADA from a symbol-only request.
  • Precomputes short-window trend, liquidity, volatility, freshness and answerability context.
  • Provides separate Dirty Work, Agent Effort and Workbench resources for focused agent tasks.
  • Adds a separate CFTC weekly positioning product for BTC, ETH and SOL without replacing the short-window products.
  • Keeps source hashes, CoinGecko attribution, lineage and limitations with the response.
Interpretation limits
  • Derived context only; raw CoinGecko API payloads are not redistributed.
  • CFTC positioning is weekly regulated-futures context, not live spot data or a statement of participant intent.
  • The 30-day Quant Research Bundle is not offered until separate retention rights and production history are active.
  • Not realtime execution data and not financial or trading advice.
Recommended workflow
  • Open the free preview and confirm freshness and fit.
  • Choose short-window market context or weekly CFTC positioning based on the research question.
  • Review the exact Base USDC amount before approving the wallet signature.
Coverage exclusions

  • Thirty-day RSI, ATR, Bollinger and rolling-matrix output.
  • Trade execution or investment recommendations.
Machine-use guidance
  • Use a stable pseudonymous buyer_hint for attribution.

  • Stop before payment if readiness fails or the response has x-sourcestrand-no-charge=true.
