LLMs are failing in trading.
More data + better models = smarter trading, right?
Traders are still getting wrecked.
The gap isn't intelligence, it's integration.
DeFi Analytics Tools Tier List 🧵
S:
@dune: Onchain data platform where you query with SQL and build/share custom dashboards across 100+ chains.
@DefiLlama: Aggregator for DeFi metrics across chains and protocols. Best for the default macro dashboard to compare protocols & chains metrics with a great UI.
@flipsidecrypto: AI + data platform providing labeled onchain data and conversational analytics. Great for ecosystems to understand users, growth, and protocol health without building their own data stack.
@surfai: AI copilot for crypto research combining onchain data, social sentiment, and curated reports with in-app execution. Great to filter through the noise and find real alpha.
A:
@dexscreener: Real-time charts and pool data for DEX pairs across many chains for tracking new pairs, liquidity, PA, and basic onchain trading.
@CryptoRank_io: Market aggregator for prices, listings, token sales, unlocks, fundraising, and airdrops.
@minara: Financial-focused AI that aggregates portfolios and market data across crypto & stock markets. Top pick for financial reports, research, etc.
@tokenterminal: Fundamental data terminal for protocols and chains (revenue, fees, users, ratios). Best to value projects like equities with standardized metrics and ratios.
@_dexuai: Analytics platform mixing market, technical, and social data for narrative tracking and determining social sentiments.
B:
@Tokenomist_ai: All about tokenomics/unlocks analytics, such as allocations, vesting, emissions, etc.
@cryptoquant_com: Onchain + derivatives data such as CEX flows, stablecoin metrics, miner/whale behavior.
@l2beat: Analytics and research hub for Ethereum L2s, go-to for tracking TVL/TVS, designs, security assumptions, and risk frameworks for L2s.
@artemis: Data platform focused on onchain fundamentals and stablecoin metrics with a terminal and good API.
C:
@coinglass_com: Derivatives and liquidation analytics like OI, funding, heatmaps, etc.
@nansen_ai: Onchain analytics with massive wallet labeling. Mostly used to follow smart money wallets, funds, etc. All real insights are in the paid version.
D:
@glassnode: OG onchain metrics suite for BTC/ETH and macro flows, good quality data, but paywalled, data may be found on other free tools.
@dappradar: App ranking and usage tracker, decent for surface-level research, but had some instances of outdated data.
@santimentfeed: Combines onchain and social metrics, nice concept, but the data can easily be found in other apps with better UIs and user experiences.

Whale $BTC action this morning is quite bullish.
The infamous insider whale just closed short positions on Hyperliquid around 9:30AM. Other #whales are following the move!

In 3 years, you’ll either:
a) Own the AI tools
b) Be managed by someone who does
c) Get replaced by someone who automated your job
Your actions will determine which category you fall into.
We're excited to announce the successful completion of a cross-chain Delivery versus Payment (DvP) transaction in collaboration with Kinexys by J.P. Morgan (@jpmorgan) and @OndoFinance.
https://t.co/73otqmbTkQ
This milestone marks the first-of-its-kind cross-chain, atomic settlement of a tokenized asset between Kinexys Digital Payments’ permissioned blockchain network and a layer-1 blockchain network.
Powered end-to-end by the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), the transaction involved the exchange of Ondo Chain’s Short-Term U.S. Government Treasuries Fund (OUSG) as the asset leg with Kinexys Digital Payments’ network serving as the payment leg.
Since inception, the Kinexys platform has exceeded $1.5 trillion in notional value, processing an average of more than $2 billion daily in transaction volume. Payments transactions have grown by 10x year-over-year.

1/ Kinexys by J.P. Morgan (@jpmorgan), Ondo Finance, and @chainlink are teaming up to connect bank settlement infrastructure to Ondo Chain.
Today, we are excited to announce the debut transaction on Ondo Chain testnet — a cross-chain, atomic DvP settlement of OUSG.
@pythianism@drjasper_eth Like it or not, #institutions ask themselves: which L1 will keep assets secure uninterruptedly for the next decade?
While #Solana gets adopted with great scalability, #Ethereum will keep leading in trust and security.
@opencampus_xyz EduFi is a lever for learners and teachers to do more with more, not more with less effort.
I like @veritasium's take on this: "Effort is the algorithm".
AI’s turning everyone into part-time experts.
Real experts?
Multiply your edge with AI and you won’t have to look back.
Intuition, experience, or—better than all—your ability to put in effort.
I've been testing a ridiculous amount of AI stuff to create apps for both technical AND non-technical founders.
Let me know if you're interested so I can share my picks.
3/ Gemini 2.5 from @Google
For everyone: I'll post separately about their new video generator, it's a must-try!
For developers: Gemini has BOTH the cheapeast quality model "Flash", and the longest context window "Pro"
The cherry on top, it's the only model API with a free tier
