API

HSuke

It's an API package with 130000 downloads per week. What are you talking about?

intelw1zard

Might fork it this weekend and get it working w the Robinhood API instead. Very neat project

cryptoNcoffee

This is the issue is that gaming and all of the other stupid hype cycles makes people ask this. AI actually has a use case. It’s not just hype. Make sure to actually DYOR and the project is building what it says they are. Ask devs, don’t rely on marketing material because 99% of them are chat GPT API wrapped looking to extract as much value as possible with no plans on making anything long term

VirtualFuture

Zapier, [Make.com](http://Make.com), OpenAI API, Elevenlabs API, OBS Websocket, Python, Node.js. And a shitton of [Cursor.com](http://Cursor.com) to glue it all together <3

Business-Hand6004

it already can if you connect the agent to MCP that is given enough permission in online payment API. the issue is that many of the payment apps do not want to give enough permission. so the technology is already there

riscten

Alright, here's some first use feedback in case its helpful: \- Added my first purchase, really expected the amounts and price to be automatically adjusted based on the purchase date. So for instance if I added a $100 purchase from Oct 2020, I'd expect the empty fields to be pre-populated (BTC Amount => 0.0108...; Price per BTC => 9200); \- When closing the Purchase dialog, I'd expect the fields to be cleared when reopening it, right now they are persisted. Maybe add a confirmation before closing to prevent accidental data loss; \- Overall, like someone else suggested in the comments, this app is screaming for bulk import. I honestly can't imagine users spending hours entering every single one of their transactions manually. Could start with your own CSV import format, then gradually support formats/API from the major exchanges and trading platforms, filtering for the Bitcoin ETFs, possibly also allowing people to input public addresses and using the inbound UTXOs as "purchases". Sky's the limit here, and definitely a ton of work, but it feels crucial to this type of app IMHO; \- Regarding the data encryption, where is the key stored? I'm assuming local storage, but it would be nice to communicate this somewhere (best place probably in settings?). That being said, love the UI/UX, and the inferred data and how it's presented is sleek and interesting.

xUaScalp

Does it use some API to fetch those data ?

GerManic69

Btw I will add to my todo checking out the EUNX exchange you suggested, right now I wanna stick woth Kraken simply to avoid unexpected breakages if I switch the API key to a different exchange... but perhaps now that I am thinking about it I can have the codes logic optimized to accept data from multiple exchange apis, while only trading on my current exchange, in this way the bot could then verify the data its receiving in real time by comparing it to data received from other sources in real time...seems kinda brilliant IMO. Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention!

DistributionStill154

Yo, first off—mad respect. That’s some serious hustle, especially considering you’re just diving into crypto and building a trading bot from scratch with AI assist. The fact that you got those results in a bearish market is wild, even in demo mode. You’re doing what a lot of traders talk about but never execute on: blending curiosity, logic, and AI into something that can actually act on market signals in real time. Honestly, your method of letting AI fill the coding gap while you focus on logic trees? That’s lowkey genius. Most algo traders either have the code or the idea—not both—and you’ve found a way to bridge it. If you’re ever curious to test it on another exchange, maybe with a smaller cap or lower volatility pairs, take a look at EUNX. It’s newer but focused on giving devs and bot builders a clean API to work with, and the spreads are pretty tight too. Not trying to pitch—just think it might suit your workflow if you’re scaling or want to test across multiple markets. Also, when you get around to it, would love to hear what indicators your bot leans on most—RSI, MACD, volume spikes, sentiment, etc. Could be some cool convos and feedback from other builder-minded folks. Keep updating, this kind of stuff is gold for anyone trying to move beyond memes and into real strategy.

slykethephoxenix

Something weird with the graph. They say the M2 is `1744588800000` in the API response for the final entry, but on the graph it's displayed as `110,192,996,219,692` ($110T). Bitcoin price is correct though.

lastDeadlock

Something like [Coinrule](https://coinrule.com/) or [Jellydator](https://jellydator.com/) might be what you are looking for. The learning curve is low, as you use visual, drag-and-drop tools. If you don’t want to provide your information or API keys, you can use paper trading modes or set up alerts/webhooks, which you could then use as buy/sell signals in your own scripts.

VirtualFuture

Totalling around 130 USD monthly, 95% of which are the real-time Elevenlabs API costs.

VirtualFuture

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy my stupid creation haha **Zapier** and **Makecom** \- for automating feeding actual CoinDesk articles real-time A pre-trained **GPT-4o** OpenAI API - for generating each news segment commentary **Elevenlabs** API - for generating the voice, trained on 2+ hours of me talking **Python & Node.js -** for creating the master script logic that schedules every segment and a ton of other things **OBS Studio** \- for the entire pipeline + streaming output

VirtualFuture

It's 100% real segments being pulled real-time from CoinDesk and CoinTelegraph as they appear through RSS and Zapier, fed through GPT-4o with a trained "Buzz" model and then fed through Elevenlabs API to speak it based on 2+ hours of recordings of my own voice. This is all real. By tuning in you're literally finding out about news :D just in a funny way.

longjumpsignal

When you open most phone wallets they try to calculate the balance of your wallet. To do that they spam queries to some API one query per bitcoin address. They spam all your addresses to generally either cloudflare or aws. Rogue administrators (and intel agencies) can just look in the logs on those two services and basically see who owns almost every bitcoin address. In theory you can use some software that doesn't do that like electrum server hooked to to your own local bitcoin node but really your chances of never messing up and leaking data are low. There are probably lots of other ways data is leaked and surveilled.

UberMocipan

There is a list of the oldest exchanges, check their history of hacks and so on. I am currently on Bitstamp, its old, have millions users, was hacked in the past and moved their BTC in to offline storage since then, low fees, API, all I currently need

pop-1988

> The nodes get paid for adding blocks Miners get paid. Most miners do not operate nodes. Most nodes are not miners. Nodes are operated as an unpaid hobby. The cost is very low For your own wallet, you pay the cost of downloading about 400MB per day of new blocks, so that your wallet can see if there are any new transactions relevant to your wallet. If your wallet uses the Electrum protocol, then the Electrum server operator sends transactions when your wallet sends a request containing a list of your wallet's addresses. An Electrum server runs beside its own node. A node can be configured as "blocks only" with traffic of only 400MB per day, or it can relay unconfirmed transactions as well - 400MB more, both in an out. Nodes and Electrum servers are a free service > web based block explorers Same as any free public Web site. The Web site owner pays the costs. Many explorers are funded by donations. Some of them use their high traffic volume as a catch for fee-paying customers. Most explorers have access via API. The API has a low-traffic free limit, and fees for medium-traffic and high-traffic users

gowithflow192

Not sure where the price data is coming from. Exchanges maybe? Then presumably using a paid API to access those prices to some central service that the wallet connects to. Block explorers have their own nodes that are part of the network. Wallets also have their own nodes that are used to send your new transactions to the network.

solenico

How can one verify the documentation form running network is accurate at all when one cannot join the network, because it's not really decentralized? I can also create wonderful documentation and source code for a blockchain network start running it – or some other network which I did not release the source code but it implements open API on open source implementation plus tons of other shit too. Thent I choose who can participate in it and you are hey brilliant all good because use the source luke – the published source is just not the same code I run. I understand many people don't see an issue there because hey, it's commercial business of cause it makes all the people crazy rich so let's invest there and not on shitcoins.

142NonillionKelvins

Seems like you’d have to writes script that uses an API to get the bitcoin value on any given day, then another API to get the amount of bitcoin included in any given block, and then do the math.

arajajaja

dont take defillama for gospel its not accurate moonwell is still listed on chainlink but they recently switched over to API3 away from chainlink compounds entire TVL is listed on chainlink but that is not accurate either as their mantle comet is also running on API3 (and they want to expand more into API3) chainlink is king right now but if you think they have no competition than you are very naive especially when it comes to data feeds

Bryan-YmediaServices

This Claim is so frustrating... I held Luna for several years before the crash and had hundreds of thousands invested. Most was purchased on "Kucoin" and transferred to my Terra station wallet. Kucoin has been outlawed and i cant even log in to get the info i need, ive called every name on the Docket to get help from the Law firms defending our end many many times only leading to a voice mail and no call back. kucoin provided me with a 1200 line document of buys and sells but not withdraws or deposits and no liquidation trades. this will not work as i need the other key parts to be able to upload "Manual evidence" since i cannot create a "Read only API" in Kucoin since being outlawed. NO HELP FROM THE PEOPLE REPRESENTING ME after many many attempts.

Obviously de-centralised with a low scam/rug risk, proven for 5-10 years, lower market cap with room for growth. Fuck memes, fuck celebrity bandwagons, fuck reigning institution and corporation investment just function and inherent usefulness to everyday people 1. Free and instant (micro)transactions as an international currency 2. Privacy 3. API development and AI integration into business models See if you can guess

McBurger

I do it via Kraken Pro with their API. Only a 0.4% fee on my daily autobuy. I host the script on Zoho Creator, but that was really just me making use of a tool that I already had paid for for my business, I know others host their scripts locally or on AWS or similar cloud compute platforms.

nugymmer

So you are saying oracles won’t be worth much? For tokenization you need an oracle. I can think of a few examples, LINK, BAND, and API3 being 3 examples. LINK being the safest bet.

uncapchad

When you're dealing with API calls, best to RTFM. The issuer of APIs will have docs somewhere about how to authenticate and build an API request

Azzuro-x

API for what ? An exchange ?

PeteTheShowMan

Well I am combining few paid API’s for this thats why the price is high

redeembtc

Get [Koinly](https://koinly.io/?via=6F8272C0). It will pull all the data from exchanges through an API. I have thousands of trades and it makes it super easy and also prepared for me my tax report at the end of the year. There is a free version and various paid ones depending on the number of transactions you are doing per year. I pay for mine because it saves soooo much time when it comes to tax time.

bratukha0

Sorry, I'm having trouble thinking of something witty right now. Error: Failed after 3 retries: API call failed: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

MagikarpSpawn

Wow, I have experienced exactly the same! But coming with a better deal! I need around **$900,000** to clear it. If I can do that — if the community helps me recover what I lost due to this flaw — **I’ll release everything publicly**, including: * the API bot * the voucher contract * full chat logs * liquidation breakdown * Feetpics of my grandma * A masterclass crypto swindling * Exclusive access to my dog's Onlyfans for 3 months

Redwood_hike

Your "non scam" list is making less and less sense. You're hyper-focused on this "fair distribution" thing, but it's causing you to throw out perfectly valid projects. First, Bitcoin. You nailed it—no founders, no pre-mine, just Satoshi dropping the code and dipping. That's the definition of a decentralized, fair start. But then you use that as the only metric, and it just doesn't hold up. Look at projects like Ondo, Hbar, XRP, API3, and Sei. You're tossing them aside, but why? They all have real world use cases, partnerships, and active development. They're solving problems, building infrastructure, and bringing value to the space. Yes, they have founders or pre-mines, but that doesn't automatically make them scams. Many projects need initial funding to get off the ground. Your definition seems to be, "If it didn't start with mining and no founders, it's a scam." That's just not how the world works, especially in tech. It's like saying every company that took venture capital is a scam. You're saying that Bitcoin's lack of founders makes it a non-scam, which is true. But then you're ignoring the fact that many other projects have founders and are also not scams. You are applying a double standard, and ignoring the real world value of these projects. Instead of this black and white "scam" label, maybe we should talk about due diligence. Look at the team, the tech, the use case, the community. Are they building something real, or just pumping a token? That's a more useful conversation than just dismissing anything that doesn't fit your narrow definition.

ColonelKlink87

It's definitely something you have to be cautious with for sure. I've used a handful of services for trading and they all require this. I at minimum did a little research on the service before using it but not everyone will do that. Security would be a big focus on this if I get the itch to make it happen. What are your thoughts on Coinbase's Fast Connection option compared to API keys? From how I understand it at a high level, if uses your Coinbase account as the authorization method to trade instead of API keys. Also, a lot of exchanges offer whitelisting of IP address so this to me would be another additional security measure. I'm big into security as far as using every method I can to secure any online account I use but that's only as good as the provider of the service as well. Appreciate the feedback! :-D

CunningStunt_1

Vaguely. But not really. I only looked at QNT once several years ago and haven't since. So please correct me. It is a centralised API gateway. Which is fine if you can deal with the security risks this introduces. It's more designed to link existing systems to blockchains. Not specifically designed to link Blockchain to Blockchain, but there is no reason it couldn't. As far as I am aware it doesn't have the functionality to be built ontop off. It also doesn't have its own token standards to enable native cross chain tokenisation. Let me know what you think. I'm sure you are more knowledgeable then myself, as you bought QNT up!

stKKd

Many people left reddit because of their stupid API restrictions (no third party app)

Interesting-Cow-1652

That’s old data that hasn’t been updated since the end of 2023. Reddit became greedy and killed their open API. Honestly I would rely more on X stats for Bitcoin these days

pawgtube

Yeah, I'm also curious, has anyone actually tried integrating their API? I know this platform well, invested in their liquidity pools, but never heard about the API.

DidiEdd

would you say there's any possibility that access to the API could be somehow "leaked" by a business?

DidiEdd

u/lexwolfe I saw the first sentence but this thing is saying something about a link and it didn't look like you sent anything like that anyway, the problem with your statement is that there are multiple non-KYB businesses that are operating on Pi's blockchain, most notably, Zypto Wallet. How is it able to do this without being KYB verified, if that's a requirement to gain access to the API? Also, isn't it possible that the API could easily be leaked outside of a business? (though I assume all activity would be linked to some sort of API key I suppose)

kipoli99

depends on the blockchain, the general step by step would include something like generate transaction data that you desire, encode it in the form appropriate to your target blockchain, then depending on the chain digital signature algorithm you need to hash the encoded transaction and sign it with your private key. Then send the transaction data with the signature, as well as the meta-data like fees and transaction parameters into the blockchain node, either via RPC or API.

ReallyOrdinaryMan

The API you mentioned is just a communucation method between server (blockchain node) and client. Those APIs are not programs so calling open-source or close-source not fit the situation. But blockchain API methods are almost always shared to public because otherwise no one can implement those blockchains to their system (wallets or exchanges).

DidiEdd

Thank you, I'm thinking of doing this with alternative blockchains rather than bitcoin, since I'm sure it's easy enough to figure it out with bitcoin, but potentially not as straightforward with newer cryptocurrencies Do you know if all public blockchains have an open-source API?

DidiEdd

thank you, makes sense enough, but this also basically means if the API for the blockchain were perhaps closed-source, it wouldn't be possible to do this? or let me also ask a better question: do all public blockchains have an open-source API?

Prudent-Complaint-54

An API call to blockchain node is what wallets do underneath the ui. You can do it yourself. It is more error prone tho. For bitcoin there are libraries that help you construct the transaction according to bip standards. That will allow you to create a simple script(imo it wont be that simple heh)

WanderingLemon25

I'm not 100% sure but it'll likely be an API where you pass in your hashed private key, public key of where you're sending the BTC to and an amount... Maybe a few other fields.

nugymmer

True, especially for API3. I went from $2k to $4k, then over the space of a year, it went from $4k to about $600. That position is actually underwater. I won't ever be buying an alt coin again. They are worthless, there is no money in most alts. Will be sticking to BTC for the next drawdown and drawup. No more alt coin bullshit.

WCLGOP

Gemini using their API. Absolute lowest fees! 0.002 in fee. So 10 cents to buy $50 worth of BTC!

Correct-Potential-15

Yup! I was just making a game on roblox about crypto which using API to get the real price of crypto and by mistake i found out markets are coming back from inside my roblox game 😭 only on crypto can something like this happen

MrHmuriy

If someone opens one short position per week with x100 leverage of 1% of their deposit and the BTC drops 5%, they get 500% profit and Bybit says their ROI is 500% for the week. One of the top copy traders on Bybit has +855.46% for the week and trades with high frequency via API, opening long positions on 0.01BTC with x50 leverage and almost immediately closes them as soon as the profit reaches 80%. He is doing well for himself, but due to delays and slippage, none of his subscribers have made money.

ThinNeighborhood2276

For ease of integration and security, consider using a reputable API service like BTCPay Server, which is open-source and self-hosted, minimizing reliance on third parties. For storage, a hardware wallet is generally safer for holding significant amounts of Bitcoin.

McBurger

No problem, I am using Kraken and their free Pro platform has an API. It lets you execute all the normal actions like get price quotes, execute trades, etc as if you were doing it through the normal web interface while getting the same fees. The only thing I can’t do is actually transfer funds from my bank. So I do need to periodically make manual transfers, like I might deposit a lump sum into my USD trading account, but then the script just uses that for all the buys for the next *n* days until I need to top it up again

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) urged Elon Musk to ban automated bots on the X platform, which spam users with scams, phishing links, and pump-and-dump schemes, particularly in the crypto space. CZ suggested disabling API posting while allowing AI-generated content shared manually. Despite Musk's ownership of X since 2022 and proposed solutions like small credit card fees for account creation, the bot problem persists. Bots have also been linked to manipulating altcoin prices and facilitating scams like romance frauds. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Successful-Plan-7332

I work in a fiat payments company that provides bank API and accounts for the crypto community. So I’d say it’s crypto “adjacent”. Cool part of that I get to work with all the exchanges and companies that I think are awesome and I also get to help solve their challenges. So I guess what I’m saying is, think outside the box. Not just look for jobs directly for crypto companies but also companies that SUPPORT their everyday business needs too! Accounting, payments, banking, marketing, industry associations, AML, compliance, tech devs and KYC/KYT monitoring. Check those things as well!

HSuke

No. I'm an outsider. If this exists, could you point me to the node documentation so I can investigate? Their website is very light on info, and their Github repo is only about API access.

HSuke

I think it's worth a discussion now. There are many serious concerns about this project. 1. It's extremely centralized. It's not a public blockchain. Users cannot run nodes to check the state of the blockchain. They can only connect to the blockchain via API. 1. Even if it becomes public, it uses FBA consensus protocol, which is very centralized around quorum slices. 1. There is no documentation about the blockchain. Only API documentation exists. 1. Only 7% of the supply has been unlocked. Many people are unable to move most of their tokens due to individual unlock schedules, so they can't sell. 1. "Mining" is just clicking a button. There is no Proof of Work or validation. 1. Many people are holding and just waiting for March 14th (PI day). Could be a sell day. What else am I missing?

Extension_Two_2362

I’m working on backtesting a high-frequency trading strategy and need **1-minute granularity** Bitcoin historical OHLCV data with a large dataset (at least 2 million rows). I’ve tried almost every platform out there, but each has glaring issues. Here’s my breakdown to help others avoid pitfalls—and please, if there’s a better solution, let me know! # 1. CoinGecko * **Pros**: Free, clean interface, beginner-friendly. * **Cons**: Data granularity is **1-hour only**—useless for high-frequency strategies. * **Verdict**: Only good for coarse analysis. Hard pass. # 2. CryptoDataDownload * **Pros**: 1-minute data, covers multiple exchanges. * **Cons**: Free tier limits downloads to **100k rows**. Need 2 million rows? Prepare to pay **$299/month**. * **Verdict**: Too expensive for small projects, too clunky for serious work. # 3. Kaiko * **Pros**: High-quality data, 1-minute granularity. * **Cons**: Wildly overpriced! Quoted **$5,000+/year** after contacting sales—way beyond personal budgets. * **Verdict**: Enterprise-tier only. Not for individuals. # 4. Binance API * **Pros**: Free, native 1-minute data, reliable. * **Cons**: Requires coding skills to fetch data, and **max 1,000 rows per request**. To get 2 million rows, you’d need scripts running for days. Exhausting. * **Verdict**: For coders only. No thanks. # 5. Crypto Price Data (my accidental find) * **Pros**: * **Completely free**, dead-simple interface (select exchange, pair, timeframe → download CSV). * 1-minute data, no registration required. * Supports Binance, OKX, and others—great for cross-exchange analysis. * **Cons**: * **1 million row limit per download**! For 2 million rows, you’ll need to download twice and merge files (annoying but doable). * No API for bulk downloads—manual work only. * **Verdict**: The closest I’ve found to meeting my needs, but still not perfect. # The Ultimate Question Is there really no platform that offers: 1. **1-minute granularity** 2. **Free + no download limits** 3. **Zero coding required** Am I missing some hidden gem? Please share recommendations!

I've developed using Circle API before. In order to mint USDC, you have to deposit more cash than the mint amount, and then use their API to mint the tokens. So anyone can mint, but it's not free money. They're also under legal regulations in both the US and the EU, so it's not like Circle can do it either.

Hi all! /u/Milan_dr and I run NanoGPT which gives access to all AI models through crypto, no subscription needed. **Payment statistics** We're turning into one of the bigger merchants both in terms of transaction count and transaction value. Because we'd love for more merchants to accept crypto we release payment statistics on how much different coins are used. [We just released the February Statistics](https://nano-gpt.com/blog/february-payment-stats), some highlights: - Nano is most used (56.1%) - Monero is second (18.7%) - Bitcoin is third (9.3%) For the full statistics check out the blog post. **Updates** - GPT 4.5 is now available. It's behind a $200 paywall with ChatGPT normally. - Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking is available. - All models can be web enabled now. We use Linkup, their integration scores absolute best on benchmarks. - Other new models: Grok 3, Perplexity's Deepsearch, Google's Imagen V3, o3-mini, Deepseek, Gemini 2.0. - The Shorts Generator has had a lot of updates, can now do up to 3 minutes, can do horizontal videos, and can be used via our API for mass generation. - UI/UX improvements, one that I like myself is being able to collapse the sidebar for a clean look, but also save multiple system prompts for example. - Search through our model in the model dropdown (since we now have so many) - Image input supported on most big models, file upload supported on all models. **Try for free** [We have a free model](https://nano-gpt.com/conversation?model=free-model&source=crypto) but it's honestly not the best. If you want to try NanoGPT and your Reddit account looks legit we'll send an invite to a pre-funded account so you can try out the full suite of models without any strings attached. Just comment below. Or of course deposit using crypto - minimum is just $0.10!

C_void_function

Thank you for the reply. We charge a margin on top of the cost we pay to our providers. We aren't too much different from openrouter except I think openrouter caters more to B2B as well as B2C for sophisticated users like yourself who know how to download OpenWebUI and plug in API keys, etc. Our UI is more advanced than openrouter IMO. I haven't checked out OpenWebUI recently... Do you think it is superior to our UI? Or perhaps you just like running locally vs in a web app? I'd be curious to know why you choose to run us in OpenWebUI vs just using our UI. Thank you!

Alert-Ad-2900

Does trump have an all inclusive API i can pull from? I feel like his nonsense is the key to the market. 

HSuke

Just playing devil's advocate. Most end users don't run participating nodes anyways. They use a 3rd aprty API to connect to a large centralized RPC node which then interacts with the blockchain. You'd need $100M of Bitcoin mining equipment or Ethereum staking to have a decent chance of producing 1% of blocks, so participating in block production is out of most people's ability for most blockchains anyways. So unless you have $10M on other blockchains, you're just pretending to participate in consensus. Personally, I think consensus decentralization is overrated. Safety, liveness, and anti-censorship are what ultimately matters to normal human beings and crypto users. Development decentralization is also important, but that's another topic, and only Ethereum qualifies for that.

HSuke

The author of the site didn't include Hedera. Hedera is about 18 on the Nakamoto Coefficient, making it #2 behind Cardano. Just playing devil's advocate. Most end users don't run nodes anyways.

You'd need $100M of Bitcoin mining equipment or Ethereum staking to have a decent chance of producing 1% of blocks, so participating in block production is out of most people's ability for most blockchains anyways.

**Questions that seem relevant here** **Q: Can I see some reviews?** Definitely. We collected a lot of them [here](https://nano-gpt.com/testimonials), but we recommend just Googling for "Nano-GPT site:reddit.com". Alternatively, check out [our previous post on this sub.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1hutlru/crypto_usecase_nanogpt_access_all_ai_models_o1/) **Q: Do you have an API?** A: We do, it's OpenAI compatible. Web search can also be used via the API, just append :online for standard or :online/linkup-deep for deep search. We know there are quite some crypto agents that use us as their backend. **Q: What do you use for web search?** A: We use Linkup, [they score best](https://www.linkup.so/blog/linkup-establishes-sota-performance-on-simpleqa) and do so at a very affordable price. **Q: How do uncensored models work?** A: To be clear, we're not system prompting Claude to be uncensored in some way. We don't do *extra* censoring on it, but Claude is censored on Anthropic's side. We offer uncensored models like abliterated versions of Llama and Deepseek.

We support: - Nano - Monero - Solana (plus all Solana tokens, finally some use for those memecoins) - Ethereum (plus Base, Optimism, Polygon, Arbitrum) - USDC and USDT on many chains - Bitcoin and its more payment-friendly forks (Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dogecoin, Dash) - Banano (Nano's memecoin brother) - Binance Pay - Coinbase Wallet - Every other crypto via swap, but then receiving takes longer Our list of models is genuinely too big to list (100+, every model you can think of), we have image generation via Recraft, Flux, Ideogram, Dall-E, Playground etc, some NSFW stuff if that's your thing, a Shorts Generator, and perhaps most magically **you can access GPT 4.5 which is normally locked behind a $200 subscription**. All of our models can be web enabled so they're fully up to date (they use Google, essentially), all support file upload, most support image upload. We have an OpenAI compatible API which people are using for on-chain bots, an auto model for those that just want to always use the best model, and a ton of other neat features. The online capabilities can be even be appended to models via API, just append :online (for standard) or :online/linkup-deep for a deeper web search. **Privacy** We do not store any prompts, any conversations or any identifiable information about you. Our service can even be used without an account, and paying in crypto means no payment information given. Your conversation history is stored only locally on your device, which has the downside that when you switch devices you can't access past chats but does give you full control. If you clear your cache or delete individual conversations they're literally gone. We never store them. **Try it out for free** I'd love for people to try depositing $0.10 in your crypto of choice so you can give feedback on our payment flow. If we can improve anything we'd love to hear, but also we know of quite some people that use our platform as a demonstration of how easy payments using their crypto work. Alternatively if your Reddit account looks legit **I'll send an invite to a pre-funded account so you can try out the full suite of models without any strings attached.** Obviously open to any questions! Also, fun fact: we're also in the r/cc Telegram chat, our image generation models are used a ton there.

Funnyurolith61

bro you could have added liquidity on Uniswap and earned a ton of fees for all those 4 years of holding ETH. Or just staked it for 4-5% API yearly

That's a good point. Personally, I think most people who aren't devs or working with devs should stay out of crypto until they find a good reason to use crypto. The best thing about blockchains is that it creates an ecosystem of open APIs. **Traditional API model**: 1. Company creates application with a private database 2. Company has to expose APIs for external devs to interact with the database 3. External devs can only use APIs that have been allowed, and if the APIs are missing, then they are shit out of luck. **Decentralized Blockchain model**: 1. Company creates dApp and on-chain smart contracts 2. External devs can already interact with smart contracts 3. External devs do not have to wait or ask for permission to interact with those smart contracts (assuming the original company didn't use a whitelist) 4. Both company and external devs can build dApps that interact with the same smart contracts

You download the state of the order books on Binance and coinbase via their API. You can see all prices being offered at any point in time (not just settled trades in the trade volume). Then you can in the depth of the books what’s being offered. You can then also compare snapshots of the order book in time (it changes really quickly because most trading is algorithmic). Then you can see, someone is not selling as fast as they can to chew through the books in order to force algorithms to pull their buy orders but people are giving in slow offers over time. They actually want to give buyers time to recover before offering more. Normally, you would do this via OTC because you have price certainty but they are choosing sell on exchanges. I don’t know why. Perhaps they think they can get more.

While it’s true that Algorand’s open-source ecosystem includes many SDKs for various languages, it’s important to distinguish between SDKs—which are tools for interacting with the network—and the core node software that runs the consensus protocol. Here’s why the concern about “only one client implementation” misses the mark: Single Canonical Implementation Is Common and Beneficial: Many robust blockchain networks (like Bitcoin Core) rely on one primary, well‑audited node implementation. Having a single canonical client for consensus can actually reduce the risk of divergence or “forks” that can occur when multiple independent implementations interpret the protocol differently. Algorand’s “algod” node is open source, rigorously tested, and designed to meet high standards of reliability and security. SDKs Are Not a Substitute for the Node—but They Serve a Different Role: The multiple SDKs available in languages like Python, JavaScript, and Go aren’t intended to be alternative consensus clients. Instead, they serve as developer libraries to interact with the official node (via its API). This is analogous to how, for example, Bitcoin has many language-specific libraries that simply wrap around Bitcoin Core’s RPC interface. The fact that these SDKs ultimately point to the official installation doesn’t diminish the robustness of the underlying consensus protocol. Algorand’s Protocol Is Designed for Rapid Finality: The claim that “information takes time to spread and form consensus” overlooks Algorand’s innovative use of cryptographic sortition and a Byzantine Agreement protocol. These mechanisms are mathematically proven to achieve consensus rapidly and with instant finality once a block is approved. Multiple academic papers and independent audits have validated these properties. Room for Future Diversity: The ecosystem is still evolving. Algorand’s open-source nature means that alternative node implementations can—and likely will—appear over time. In the meantime, the single, well‑audited implementation provides stability and ensures that all network participants are working from the same codebase, which is crucial for security and consistency. Sources to Consider: Algorand White Paper: It thoroughly explains the consensus mechanism and demonstrates mathematically how instant finality is achieved. Official GitHub Repository: While the SDKs primarily provide interfaces for various languages, you’ll also find the official “algod” node implementation, which is actively maintained and audited. Comparative Analyses: Articles from reputable sources like CoinDesk or academic publications have detailed how Algorand’s approach differs from multi-implementation systems and why it’s effective. In summary, the presence of multiple SDKs confirms a vibrant developer ecosystem and does not equate to having multiple independent consensus clients. Having one well‑audited, canonical client for the core protocol is both common and advantageous—it helps ensure that consensus is reached reliably without the risks associated with divergent implementations.

Consistent-Baby5904

agreed. better to program Ai to pull the data from multiple sources and then use API to separate the data pull so that you can verify source like TradingView platform does, etc.

HSuke

**It's still scammy as hell** Their new blockchain isn't even public yet. No mining, no validators, completely centralized. It can only be accessed by API. The Pi network has zero documentation on their consensus, but it seems to be a centralized clone of the Stellar network.

Familiar-Cobbler2530

Wrong, it can, but you would need to do API queries and have the realtime data in a database yourself. Takes like 30 minutes to setup.

Bitcoin protocol and interfaces is evolving slowly using a process called BIP / Bitcoin Improvemend Proposal. Not all proposed BIPs are accepted. And far from all BIPs require changes in the Bitcoin protocol as such, many are standardizing other aspects of Bitcoin such as programer API, wallet key derivation, multi signature script management etc. [https://bips.dev/](https://bips.dev/) (origin [https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/) )

I thought it was too cumbersome to give a graph every time, so I brought up 1000 four-hour candle data provided by Binance API for analysis. Even if you do the same prompt every time, it keeps changing in the direction you want, so code it and always analyze it in a set format according to the set form. I don't even have to put a graph in it, but I don't know if it's right yet

I just remember of this API being available to see how it works but without the quantum pros. But that was at a time were this wasn't really stable, so maybe it's different now.

Yodel_And_Hodl_Mode

Here's everything, up to the point where I quit keeping track, with links to cite sources. 1: Ledger's word can't be trusted. The following was a lie: > Your keys are always stored on your device and never leave it > SOURCE: [btchip, Ledger Co-Founder, on May 14th, 2023](https://np.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/13gs0xn/using_ledger_with_3rd_party_wallets/jk34kcn/) That's a lie because Ledger added a key extraction API to their firmware which enables Ledger and their partner companies (and others?) to extract your keys from your hardware wallet over the internet. Might as well stop reading right there. It can't be trusted. 2: Ledger's code can't be trusted. It can't be verified: > There's no backdoor and I obviously can't prove it > SOURCE: [btchip, Ledger owner & co-founder](https://np.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/13itm7u/is_there_a_backdoor_yes_or_no/jkbvys7/) Ledger can't prove their code has no backdoors because their code is closed source. The only way to prove their code is safe would be to open up the code. All of the code. Closed source code can't be trusted. 3: Ledger can't be trusted with your privacy. Their CEO said so: > "If, for you, your privacy is of the utmost importance, please do not use that product, for sure." > SOURCE: [Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier, on video](https://youtu.be/M3VjQUcyZSY?t=2342) Ledger's CEO begged you to not use Ledger "Recover" if you value your privacy. "For sure." But it's baked into their closed source code, so you can't prove their API isn't sharing your keys even if *you* don't use "Recover." That's one of the dangers of closed source code. 4: Ledger's security can't be trusted. They've been hacked: > Ledger wallet users face mounting home invasion and other scareware threats as hacker dumps private customer information online. > SOURCE: [Cointelegraph, December 24th, 2020](https://cointelegraph.com/news/ledger-data-leak-a-simple-mistake-exposed-270k-crypto-wallet-buyers) Ledger can't even keep *their* data secure. Don't trust them with your coins. 5: Ledger's code has been hacked. > Ledger exploit makes you spend Bitcoin instead of altcoins > "A vulnerability in Ledger’s hardware wallets enables hackers to prompt someone to spend Bitcoin instead of an altcoin." > SOURCE: [Decrypt.co](https://decrypt.co/37651/ledger-exploit-makes-you-spend-bitcoin-instead-of-altcoins) Ledger took a year to fix it, and they didn't fix it until after it was reported in the media. 6: Ledger's hardware has been hacked. > In this post, I’m going to discuss a vulnerability I discovered in Ledger hardware wallets. The vulnerability arose due to Ledger’s use of a custom architecture to work around many of the limitations of their Secure Element. > An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to compromise the device before the user receives it, or to steal private keys from the device physically or, in some scenarios, remotely. > I chose to publish this report in lieu of receiving a bounty from Ledger, mainly because Eric Larchevêque, Ledger’s CEO, made some comments on Reddit which were fraught with technical inaccuracy. As a result of this I became concerned that this vulnerability would not be properly explained to customers. > SOURCE: [Saleem Rashid](https://saleemrashid.com/2018/03/20/breaking-ledger-security-model/) Ledger's bounty payments prevent those who've discovered vulnerabilities from reporting them so Ledger can lie and say they've never been hacked. More lies. 7: Ledger has been phished. > A Ledger employee just got phished. DeFi users lost over $600k > Ledger confirmed the attack was the result of a hacker compromising one of its employees via a phishing attack. After gaining access to Ledger’s internal systems, the hacker planted malicious software within the Ledger Connect Kit. > SOURCE: [DLnews, December 14th, 2023](https://www.dlnews.com/articles/defi/a-ledger-employee-got-phished-defi-users-lost-thousands/) Ledger said an employee was phished, but under scrutiny, they changed their story, admitting it was a *former employee* who got phished. 8: Why did an ex-employee still have access to the codebase? Ledger won't say: > How a Single Phishing Link Unleashed Chaos on Crypto: "Ledger has confirmed the attack began because “a former Ledger employee fell victim to a phishing attack.” > Source: [Decrypt, December 14th, 2023](https://decrypt.co/209838/single-phishing-link-unleashed-chaos-on-crypto) How many former Ledger employees still have access to their codebase? Ledger won't say, not that we could trust any answer they'd give. Do they even know? 9: Ledger's been hacked multiple times, and yet... > "The bombshell here is the explicit confirmation that Ledger themselves hold the master decryption key for all Ledger Recover users." > SOURCE: [@sethforprivacy](https://twitter.com/sethforprivacy/status/1671532787294191618) What could possibly go wrong, eh? Yikes. 10: Ledger Live tracks everything you do and the coins you have: > "Ledger Live is phoning out data on assets you hold in your hardware wallet the moment you access Ledger Live. It’s also sending out tons of other information about your computer and device." > The app apparently transmits data to an external endpoint at “https://api.segment.io/v1/t”, identified as an outsourced data collection service. > SOURCE: [BitcoinNews.com](https://bitcoinnews.com/ledger-live-app-accused-of-collecting-user-data/) Got a Ledger? Goodbye, privacy. 11: Ledger lies are even on the boxes for their hardware. > "WE ARE OPEN SOURCE" > SOURCE: [Their own packaging.](https://i.redd.it/dysdk6j9516b1.jpg) The box for Ledger hardware running closed-source firmware says Open Source. That's intentionally misleading if not outright fraud. 12: Ledger refuses to answer questions. They [delete questions](https://np.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/13itm7u/is_there_a_backdoor_yes_or_no/jkbvys7/) in comments on their sub. They [shadowban](https://np.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/144439c/ledger_please_answer_this_question/) users who ask them. They [scrub their website](https://np.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/13z1yew/ledger_updates_academy_articles/) to remove claims they made for years. **The worst part is, this is only a partial list!** For example: [Ledger was still promoting FTX after FTX collapsed.](https://np.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/z5rxw8/deleted_by_user/ixy5uc0/) I could go on and on. Ledger's code can't be trusted. Ledger's management can't be trusted. Ledger. Can't. Be. Trusted.

> I'd be careful with ~~Bybit~~ **all exchanges** guys. Fixed. It is not safe to keep coins on an exchange. This is why self custody is the way to stay safe. Use exchanges to buy and sell. Use a hardware wallet for long term holding and security. Trezor is the easiest to get started with and it's safe. Blockstream Jade isn't quite as easy, but it adds the benefit of being able to be used airgapped. ColdCard isn't new user friendly, but it's airgapped and it adds many advanced features. Those are the big three I'd recommend. Avoid Ledger. Their devices now have an API baked into the firmware to allow key extraction over the internet. That's dangerous stuff and should be avoided. The fact that they initially lied about it only makes matters worse. Ledger can't be trusted. Also avoid any trendy gadget, especially if it requires entering your seed phrase on a computer or phone. Never do that. As for exchanges, it's ok to leave a small balance there for a little while, but as soon as you've built up a meaningful amount, move it to cold storage. I'm primarily a Bitcoin guy, so my rule of thumb is this: I never keep more than 0.02 BTC on an exchange (I should probably lower that to 0.01 BTC), and I never keep coins on an exchange longer than 3 months. Less during periods of volatility. Really though, I try to only keep coins on an exchange for a month or 2 max. Stay safe!

Kraken pro. You can automate the purchases and withdrawals via their API.

Zavalla96

Link is like the API for crypto. But link is not needed to use it's services. See like ETH you need ETH to run it's Blockchain. It's just the Blockchain is too slow. But with all the people dumping eth without it's utility it would be even cheaper than what it is. Link isn't required for most of what they do. None of the oracles that I know of need a coin. It's just a way for them to pay for their operations. If you buy XRP LINK ADA you are just paying for their marketing which is used to get you to buy more.

XyaThir

As I said on your other thread that was downvoted to zero: I have done this already and it does not work. My bot sniped always in the first few milliseconds of a listing on Binance and it always got a bad price. This could work if your server is close to Binance frontal API gateways but otherwise you have no chance. Note that I tried several approach : Wait for the ticker to exist => loss of Precious Time. Start to broadcast buy orders 200ms before listing : works but still got bad price. Unless you live in Tokyo or NY (not sure about this one anymore), you have NO chance, you will loose money guaranteed. /\* \* \* locations : unsure \* \* [api.binance.com](http://api.binance.com) : US \* api1.binance.com: Japan \* api2 : Japan \* api3 : Japan \* api4 : Japan \* \*/

Rude-Jaguar-5930

From my experience exchanges do not send you tax info. You can request it. Things like Koinly use the api information of exchanges to gather these documents and do the work of putting together a tax form for you. The API info needs to be manually entered by yourself to koinly. This was years ago personally so it may have changes since.

For over a decade I’ve invested in a multitude of financial markets, the real beauty of crypto it’s a 24/7 market with extreme volatility that some dread I embrace that means you miss 104 days out of a year not including holidays of potential investment opportunities also I’m not including questionable exchanges/brokers that may offer 24/7 investing. Since the meme coins are comparable in a market sense to penny stocks and most are considered risky dump worthless aka “shitcoins” maybe you could short them for a substantial return or avoid them altogether. Market research is of upmost importance I would suggest CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko for crypto market research, I personally utilize both API’s for market research and market data analytics including etc…If all cryptocurrencies are doomed than short them likewise if they are destined to prosper long them even so I do both markets tend to upward downward volatility, however with the current financial market circumstances crypto is a legitimate 24/7 investment market maybe one day all financial markets will follow suit!

sea_010

With any exchanges or brokers use caution and do your research however with that being mentioned Bitunix is both on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko which I utilize their API’s for market research and real time exchange data, being knowledgeable of any cryptocurrency exchanges is of upmost importance it’s great knowing they have a BBB rating however not a deciding factor for me what was is the fact they have an investors insurance protection fund in case of any issues of the exchange being nonfunctional, so in case of any emergencies I’m able to retrieve any money deposited into the exchange, please do your research and verify this I’m not going to cite any links to prove this however your able to find and verify this information on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko. They have futures for long or short investments with leverage and spot trading without leverage with only long option as a possibility so to invest long or short your only option is futures low fees and funding rates which is a plus + both the web app mobile app is user friendly, pleasant, professional, providing all information data necessary funding rates etc… for your investments also when you apply your take profit it shows your earnings from the investment when it achieves target price can’t stress the importance of using a stop loss with every investment and I personally prefer to use isolated future trades risk management decisions always. I’m just a user/client of Bitunix very satisfied I might add I would still be cautious of any exchanges even with all information mentioned above and don’t have any money in an exchange your not willing to have and you could utilize a combination of exchanges to implement risk management decisions to hedge against any future dilemmas. Also with complete verification of KYC your able to withdraw up to 5 million a day and don’t quote me on this but they have exceptional customer service depending on your VIP level you will have an account manager so the withdrawal could possibly be more remember it’s up to the exchanges to set those rules however they sometimes could make exceptions. And for those whom would like to remain discreet even though all your transactions are logged on the blockchain they do have a non KYC with limited withdrawal but they do allow it. One other thing they have all obtainable Government licenses necessary including the United States of America which means they are really striving to be a global exchange for all countries which is astonishing considering most exchanges that are advertised or supposedly the most volume aka binance have restrictions by region which sure you could use a VPN until your account is closed and all your money from the account is forfeited which isn’t fun which unfortunately I have knowledge of from former brokers/exchanges so doing it in a legitimate manner is the most sensible approach. They also allow fast deposits with crypto or through Apple Pay etc… which has always functioned for me and fast cryptocurrency only withdrawals!

lemonjello6969

Yeah, but they work through through the API. You are a one post random on Reddit asking for 300 usd for…. Something. Not even specific about the coin. I wouldn’t trust you. Maybe someone will. As I said, the people I know doing this service do it with 10’usd or 1mil. Doesn’t matter since they take a cut at the end of the quarter. Still don’t get how you couldn’t have anything to do this yourself…. Since you have this plan.. . But have never actually done it before? With money? Because you’d have some and wouldn’t be here begging.

lemonjello6969

Oh yeah, Mr. 1 post. I actually know someone who does do leverage trades via cex API. But this is like a 20 to 40% APY on bitcoin longing/shorting. They’ll let you do 10 or 1000 usd. That being said, guaranteeing anything is super scammy especially 5x with exactly 13 trades. If you could do this then why not start with 5 usd and work your way up? Oh that’s right because it’s a SCAM. It’s a scam.

qqAzo

Specific API - as I recall there was several different ones. Some of them did not have the limitation. But yeah - make 10 bots on different ip’s and you’ll have it solved. Considering how scaleable it is. I recall getting signals in after 0,25s and it was gone. Ppl made money on getting it 0,05s from when they released it. Meaning you need a server ping of 50 at most while still pinging the correct time. Did it years ago so it has most likely changed a bit.

CyberPunkMetalHead

Latency definitely plays an important role but I don’t think it’s possible to scan for announcements every millisecond. This bit I build makes requests directly to Binance’s public API endpoint that populates the announcement page and I the lowest I can poll without getting rate limited is around 40 - 50 milliseconds. I guess you could run multiple instances across different IPs and slightly stagger them to fill in the gaps. How did you get around the rate limiting?

TheIncrediblePenis

Anyone can make their own bot but there are some requirements. 1. Account API keys for the crypto exchange you use. This allows the bot to buy and sell on your behalf. Not every exchange has this available but some do. 2. Install Python and relevant libraries on your pc. 3. A pc/laptop that you can leave on 24/7 to keep the trading bot running. Just ask ChatGPT how to create your own crypto trading bot and it will get you started. Important to note that you should thoroughly test your bot with live data using simulated funds rather than real money. Work out all the kinks before you put real money on the line.

XyaThir

Hahahahahhahahaha I have done this already and it does not work. My bot sniped always in the first second of a listing on Binance and it always got the worst price. This could work if your server is close to Binance frontal API gateways but otherwise you have no chance.

/u/InvestAn >What do you think of QNT as the solution, picking up where Chainlink leaves off? Won't their patented API gateway and overledger platform connect to traditional finance? I can't respond to your comment directly as /u/Hidden5g blocked me. I think I hurt his feelings with an alternative opinion. QNT and chainlinks CCIP fills the same niche. QNT seem to be in bed with oracle and have done trials with BIS (so have LINK). Problem with QNT is that it's closed source and centralised. Essentially you will be asking large businesses to trust you. Which isn't an improvement on the existing system. Happy to be corrected. I only looked at QNT once a year or so ago. Which is why I am betting on chainlink. However I wouldn't be surprised if both take off, for them to link together bridging the gap between chain utilising QNT with Chains using LINK.

What do you think if QNT as the solution, picking up where Chainlink leaves off? Won't their patented API gateway and overledger platform connect to traditional finance?

Crypto trading platforms (exchanges and DeFi protocols) also use dirty tricks to manipulate traders and maximize their own profits. Here are some of the most common ones: 1. Hidden Fees & Spread Manipulation • Exchanges advertise low fees, but they manipulate the bid-ask spread (the difference between buy and sell prices). • You end up paying more than expected, even on “zero-fee” platforms. • Example: The exchange claims 0.1% fees, but the actual price execution slips 0.5% against you. 2. Stop-Loss Hunting • Exchanges see your stop-loss orders and intentionally trigger them by manipulating the price. • They do this by dumping a large amount of liquidity into the order book or spiking wicks (liquidation candles). • After stopping you out, the price quickly rebounds. 3. Fake Volume & Wash Trading • Many exchanges inflate trading volumes using bots. • This makes the platform appear more active and liquid than it really is. • Example: An altcoin suddenly shows millions in daily volume but has no real buyers or sellers. 4. Front Running Your Orders • Exchanges can see your pending trades before they execute. • They use bots to buy before you (if you’re placing a large order) or sell before you (if you’re selling). • This causes price slippage against you. • Common in decentralized exchanges (DEXs) where miners and validators exploit transactions. 5. Withdrawal & Deposit Freezes • During big price crashes or rallies, exchanges disable withdrawals to prevent people from cashing out. • They claim “technical issues” or “maintenance”, but it conveniently happens at the worst possible time. • Example: Bitcoin pumps 20%, but you can’t withdraw to sell elsewhere. 6. Flash Crashes (Liquidation Traps) • Platforms create sudden price drops on leveraged trading pairs to liquidate traders. • These moves only happen on their exchange (not across the market). • Example: On a major exchange, ETH drops 30% in a few minutes, while on other platforms, it barely moves. 7. Fake “Slippage” on Market Orders • If you use market orders, exchanges fill your order at worse prices than expected. • The platform blames “low liquidity” or “market conditions”, but they take extra profit from you. 8. Selective KYC Enforcement • They let you deposit and trade freely without KYC (identity verification). • But when you try to withdraw large amounts, they suddenly demand KYC and freeze your funds. • Goal: Force you to keep trading (and paying fees) instead of withdrawing profits. 9. Delisting Coins After Retail Buys In • Exchanges list small altcoins, hype them up, then quietly delist them after retail traders buy in. • This traps your funds, forcing you to sell at a loss or lose access to the coin. 10. API Manipulation & Data Leaks • Some platforms sell order book data to high-frequency trading (HFT) firms. • These firms exploit retail traders by front-running orders or market-making with unfair advantages. • Example: Your limit order never fills, but the price hits it on the chart. 11. Listing Scam Coins for Quick Profits • Exchanges charge huge listing fees to add scammy altcoins. • Retail traders get rug pulled, but the exchange already made money from listing fees. 12. Fake “Outages” During Volatility • When the market moves too fast, exchanges suddenly go offline. • You can’t buy, sell, or adjust your positions. • Example: Binance and Coinbase always seem to crash when BTC makes a big move. 13. No Real Crypto (Paper Trading) • Some platforms don’t actually hold crypto, they just simulate trades on their books. • If everyone withdrew at once, they wouldn’t have enough crypto to cover balances. How to Protect Yourself • Use limit orders instead of market orders to avoid slippage. • Spread funds across multiple exchanges to avoid withdrawal freezes. • Avoid high leverage, since exchanges use it against traders. • Use decentralized exchanges (DEXs) when possible. • Check order book history for suspicious wicks or manipulated moves. Most exchanges aren’t your friends—they profit from traders losing money. Always stay one step ahead!

You could load your binance account with fiat/stables and have automatic purchases through API, then when a withdrawal threshold is reached ask a withdrawal through API too
