CoinGecko Enhances API with 2.5M Liquidity Pool Data from On-Chain DEXs

CoinGecko has significantly upgraded its cryptocurrency API by integrating on-chain decentralized exchange (DEX) data, providing users with more detailed insights into token liquidity, trading activity, and market dynamics. The enhancement allows developers, crypto projects, and investors to access real-time metrics from over 2.5 million liquidity pools and 2.2 million tokens across 120 blockchain networks. This data is sourced directly from on-chain DEX platforms such as Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and Orca, eliminating the need for users to gather information from multiple sources [1].

The API now includes 20 new endpoints, enabling users to query trending liquidity pools, token data by contract address, and OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) chart data. These updates are particularly valuable for DeFi participants and analysts who rely on accurate, granular data to assess market trends and liquidity conditions. The expansion of CoinGecko’s API offerings supports a wide range of use cases, including product development, market analysis, and investment decision-making [1].

CoinGecko’s move reflects the growing importance of on-chain data in the evolving crypto ecosystem. As decentralized finance continues to expand, the ability to access real-time, on-chain metrics is becoming a critical component of market transparency and investor confidence. The integration aligns with broader industry trends where platforms are increasingly prioritizing decentralized infrastructure and user-driven data tools [2].

This update also follows CoinGecko’s acquisition of Zash, a leading NFT data infrastructure company, in November 2023. The acquisition has bolstered CoinGecko’s data capabilities, enabling the platform to deliver richer insights across both NFT and DeFi markets. By consolidating its data infrastructure and expanding its analytical offerings, CoinGecko continues to solidify its position as a leading provider of crypto market intelligence [1].

The API enhancement is expected to benefit not only retail investors but also institutional players and developers who require high-quality, real-time data to build and optimize crypto-related products. With its expanded dataset and improved API functionality, CoinGecko is positioning itself as a key partner for wallets, exchanges, and research platforms seeking to enhance user experiences and drive innovation in the decentralized space [4].

The addition of on-chain DEX data underscores CoinGecko’s commitment to empowering the crypto community with reliable, comprehensive market information. As the industry continues to evolve, the ability to access and interpret on-chain data will remain a crucial differentiator for platforms aiming to serve a diverse and increasingly sophisticated user base [1].
