Data
What we collect
Every number CoinGraph returns comes from a source you can name, read on a known schedule. This page lists them all. To see them on one coin, read One token, everything.

Every answer lists the providers and endpoints it was built from in sources, and Service status reports how fresh each feed is right now.
Cadence: a 10-minute product #
CoinGraph refreshes on a 10-minute clock. Every exchange feed and CoinGecko's prices are polled every 10 minutes, on-chain scans run every 15, and the signal rules run every 10 after the data has landed.
Polling every 10 minutes does not thin the data. Each run fetches everything since the last stored point, so candles stay minute by minute and futures series stay at 5-minute resolution. Only the freshness of the newest point changes. Liquidation streams and address lookups are the exceptions: they are live.
Note
as_of on every section to see how old it is.The universe #
CoinGraph tracks the top 100 coins by market cap, excluding stablecoins and tokenised funds such as tokenised gold, treasuries, money-market funds and stocks. The list is recomputed every 10 minutes from CoinGecko's market data, so a coin that enters the top 100 starts being collected in depth automatically.
Stablecoins are still priced, because exchange-flow signals and reserves need them, but they are not part of the universe. Any of 21,000+ other coins can be searched by name, symbol or contract with List & search tokens, and each result says what it gets in coverage: state, evaluate and the token page. A stablecoin in a wallet is valued but not checked: inspect marks it tracked: false, stablecoin: true, and Portfolio Checkup lists it under other_positions with the reason. Wallet Guard still checks the recipient of a stablecoin send.
Retention #
| Data | Full detail | After that |
|---|---|---|
| Snapshots: prices, tickers, order books, funding, open interest, flows | 10-minute detail for 90 days | Hourly, kept |
| 1-minute candles | 14 days | Rolled up into real hourly candles, kept |
| Data around an investigation | Every row | Never thinned, so a brief's evidence stays intact |
| Checks, answers, briefs, agent runs and their source calls | Every row | Kept, because proofs depend on them |
What you can read back is limited separately: history reaches 90 days and each series stays under 2,000 points.
Coverage per source #
Not every coin has every kind of data. Where a source does not cover a coin, the field is "unassessed" and never a guess. The check reports it the same way and its confidence falls.
| Data | Which coins get it | Otherwise |
|---|---|---|
| Order books and spot candles | Coins with a price-checked spot market on a tracked exchange. Each coin has one primary spot venue. | Unassessed; tokens traded only elsewhere rely on CoinGecko |
| Perpetuals: funding, open interest, crowding | Coins with a perpetual on Binance, OKX, Bybit or Hyperliquid | The derivatives section is unassessed |
| Long/short positioning | Perpetuals on Binance, OKX and Bybit | Omitted for Hyperliquid-only coins |
| Exchange flows and large transfers | Token contracts on Ethereum, BNB Chain and Base; ADA on Cardano; BTC from its blocks | Unassessed, including Solana tokens, which have no flow scan |
| Exchange reserves | Tokens on Ethereum and BNB Chain; SOL | Unassessed |
| Holder concentration | GoPlus for Ethereum and BNB Chain contracts; a daily scan for Solana tokens | Unassessed |
| Contract risk | Token contracts on Ethereum, BNB Chain and Solana; the verdict reads the coin's home chain | Unassessed for native coins such as BTC, SOL and ADA, which have no token contract, and for contracts only on other chains |
| DEX pools | A small set of coins, including LINK, ETH, AAVE, UNI and CAKE | Omitted |
| Unlocks | Coins DefiLlama has a schedule for; cliff unlocks only, not linear emissions | null |
| TVL | Coins with a protocol DefiLlama tracks | Omitted |
| Treasury holders | BTC, ETH and SOL | Omitted |
Current counts of covered tokens, exchanges and chains are in coverage on Service status.
