As one of high-quality, reputable providers powering decentralized data feeds (dAPIs), this partnership is a crucial step towards bringing real-world data onchain in a verifiable and decentralized way. The partnership will offer developers expanded access to a wide variety of real-time data, including cryptocurrencies, market data, forex, and commodities.
Airnode: The Bridge to the Blockchain
API3’s Airnode enables a straightforward, serverless connection between CoinGecko’s APIs and blockchain applications, facilitating real-time data flow without the need for third-party intermediaries. This first-party oracle solution enhances data security, maintains source integrity, and reduces operational costs. By connecting over 12,000 coins and a wealth of market data directly to the blockchain, this partnership elevates the quality and reliability of data that developers use to power their applications.
Airnode is designed around the data provider’s needs. Its effortless operation requires zero maintenance post-deployment. Its zero-trust framework connects APIs directly to the blockchain, ensuring complete data integrity. As Airnode is EVM-compatible, it is easy to deploy these data feeds across many chains to quickly scale onchain finance.
Powering dApps with Verifiable, Decentralized Data Straight from the Source
API3’s vision is to redefine the standards for onchain data by pioneering decentralized data feeds that facilitate a direct connection between data providers and smart contracts. This first-party oracle architecture ensures end-to-end transparency and significantly improves data security and reliability through the aggregation of multiple data sources into each data feed.
We are committed to building an open, decentralized web and are happy to welcome CoinGecko into our growing network of data providers that integrate off-chain data directly to the blockchain. Builders can utilize dAPIs across 16 blockchains on the API3 Market, with the ability to verify the source and degree of decentralization of those data feeds onchain.
