If you're building a copyright trading tool and relying on CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap APIs, you're starting behind.
Those platforms are perfect for tracking. But traders don’t need tracking—they need timing. They need intelligence, signals, and predictive data.
That’s exactly what the Token Metrics copyright API delivers.

With Token Metrics API, your trading app can:

Rebalance portfolios with AI-weighted Smart Indices
-
Alert users when Sentiment spikes or crashes
