So, what we found in some cases is that exchanges are reporting candle data that is, in fact, inaccurate, right. So there's a lot that goes into this and a lot of our competitors just are ingesting tickers or candles and we normalized the way that we compute candles based on the raw trade. From there, we can create aggregated candles for Ethereum/BTC across all exchanges, and then we would aggregate those and arrive at a price. So, for example, if we have all these trades, we can create the candle for the Ethereum to BTC pair (ETH/BTC) on Coinbase Pro. Then we would move to creating exchange candles based on this pair. We'd start off with all the trades on all the Ethereum pairs-and this is an example of one. So, we would get, for example, every trade on the Ethereum to BTC pair (ETH/BTC) on Coinbase Pro. We start out by gathering every-let's start with a trading pair on an exchange, right, because there's a lot of trading activity on Ethereum that isn't with USD or fiat pair. So let's say, for example, that you wanted to price Ethereum. So at the bottom kind of underlying everything that we do is gapless historical raw data. So probably a good way to think about data and how we do data is around this idea of a data pyramid. You essentially get tickers whenever they're computed, you don't necessarily get them at a specific time, so if you want to find out what an asset was priced at the end of a given time period you can't do that with tickers. And then you have tickers-which a lot of our competitors are gathering ticker data rather than candles or trades. As you can see, there's just a lot that's left out-you can actually hide a lot of fake volume in candles. As you can see, this is fairly high fidelity. So, we have essentially the entire trading history of that exchange and from those trades we construct candles and from those candles we construct tickers. So, for the majority of the exchanges that we have data from we have literally every trade on every trading pair on that exchange. So, our service and most of what we do is based around raw trade data, right. So I think perhaps the way to start this out is by talking about data and data quality. Our investors include Coinbase Ventures, Digital Currency Group, CityBlock Capital, and a bunch of people that we really respect in the space. If you do go to Nomics that entire website was built with our API so anything you see on the website we have available but we also have a lot of data available that is not on our website. We built the API before we built anything else. We found that most price aggregators and most market data services are failing in a number of ways that I think we've solved for and I wanted to cover that first.Ī little bit about the company: we are an API first product company, so out of everything that we do our API comes first. Thank you! I really appreciate it, but no.Hi, so I wanted to cover Nomics and our data and why we're different. That’s a pretty cool idea! However, I’d rather keep the app as simple as possible, so no. (4) Can you add a personal portfolio thing where I can track my crypto net worth? However, I am very lazy, so I probably won’t switch anytime soon.

Yes and no, I kinda like the efficient realtime price updates that CryptoCompare’s API enables, which CoinGecko (and other APIs) don’t support atm, but lately I’m leaning towards switching as it’s not worth the lack of price data for many coins. (3) Can you switch to a different data source, like CoinGecko, so we have more coins? Again, I’m afraid it’s not up to me (but rather up to CryptoCompare) which coins are supported.

I’m utilizing CryptoCompare’s free API, which only support streaming price data for some of the coins in their portfolio.

(2) Why is coin XYZ displaying a question mark ( ?) It shows up fine on The main data source (crypto prices) is CryptoCompare API. Coin Tick is just an interface, collecting information from a bunch of external data sources.

I’m afraid all I can do is suggest you try again, maybe tomorrow? 🙈 (1) Can you add support for coin XYZ? You either have bad luck (and got routed to a broken server) or the data source chooses not to serve you data for one reason or another. If the app isn’t working for you (and it does for other people), it means there’s an issue with one of the data sources. Hi person using CoinTick! 👋 (0) Why is it broken?Ĭoin Tick is just an interface to external data sources.
