CryptoSync AMA on r/CryptoCurrency

Earlier this week, . We’ve picked out some highlights from the session here, so if you’ve ever had a burning question for us, check out the questions below to see if we’ve answered it!

Note: Some questions have been edited for length and clarity.

At CryptoSync, we take a curated approach to listing cryptocurrencies and tokens. The exact criteria is not disclosed to avoid it being gamed but this Methodology page (under Listing Criteria) provides some of the criteria that we use to evaluate.

Our team also manually checks each token for sufficient liquidity and volume on DEXes and also checks for suspicious functions on smart contracts. The obvious rugs are not added while those with dubious functions, we will add warnings such as the warnings on Variable Taxes.

Our second product, GeckoTerminal takes on a non-curated approach to listing tokens. With GeckoTerminal, we list ALL tokens traded on DEXes. Currently we track 65 Layer 1/2 Networks, 331 DEXes and over 1 million tokens on GeckoTerminal. This includes all tokens with low volume and liquidity.

Only a fraction of tokens found on GeckoTerminal is added on CryptoSync.

CryptoSync is independent! We are a self-funded business and don't have any exchanges as our investor. This allows us to be impartial when it comes to displaying crypto data.

This is an excellent question! No immediate plans for the time being yet but we are monitoring closely the experiment that Reddit is doing with this subreddit (r/CryptoCurrency) and the MOON token. I think what you guys have going on here is very interesting and we are seeing the lessons that we can learn over here as well! We will be looking to add more benefits to our Candies so that you can redeem more interesting items from CryptoSync and partners.

We also like ’s suggestion about using candies for raffles and auctions for cool items, and ’s idea about making NFT redemptions available for various candy balances!

We are excited about the developments happening on GeckoTerminal. GeckoTerminal is our attempt to better track on-chain data and the growing number of tokens. So far, we are tracking 65 Layer 1/2 Networks, 331 DEXes and over 1 million tokens. The private API of GeckoTerminal is now already powering CryptoSync data for various DEXes. As we further battle test the API, we hope to expose the API to the public in the medium term. You can then get a lot more data from our API!

Also, is one keen observer! They noticed that we’ve newly added NFT endpoints.

When we wanted to start CryptoSync back in 2014, we wanted a .com domain with a cute animal mascot to go along with it. We searched for various permutations for Coin<mascot>.com to see which were available.

There was CryptoSync and CoinTeddy available for registration. However, CoinTeddy won't work because who wants to be in a forever "bear" market. Gecko is a cute reptile so we thought why not, let's go with it! It's now our favorite pet! 🦎

Currently we make money from 4 sources - advertising, affiliates, API subscriptions and Premium subscriptions.

Yes, we are seeing our user numbers drop significantly during this bear market. But it's not surprising. Our usage levels correlate very closely with BTC price and it's down roughly *ahem* 70+% like all other cryptocurrencies. This is in line to the previous bear cycles as well and we are totally expecting this.

Yes! We see NFTs playing a major role for CryptoSync in the coming years. We see a future where anything that can be tokenized, will be tokenized. This means we will see a world with millions of fungible and non-fungible tokens!

At CryptoSync, we now track NFT floor prices! So far we have NFTs on Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Klaytn. We are looking to add Solana soon as well. If you guys notice any missing NFTs, do send a request on our Request Form.

We hope to further improve our NFT section and there's a lot of interesting data points surrounding NFTs!

55 people work at CryptoSync spread across our two offices in Malaysia and Singapore.
