Introducing a state-of-the-art DEX API service, scheduled for launch in Q1 2024.
Introduction
In the dynamic and ever-expanding world of cryptocurrency, decentralized exchanges (DEXs) stand at the forefront of innovation. CoinMarketCap, a leader in providing accurate and reliable cryptocurrency data, is excited to unveil its latest contribution to this vibrant ecosystem: a state-of-the-art DEX API service, scheduled for launch in Q1 2024.
The inception of this API service was driven by a clear need in the crypto community for a robust, scalable, and user-friendly tool that bridges the gap between decentralized exchanges and the end-users.
With the launch of our API service, we're setting a new standard for what traders and developers can expect from cryptocurrency data services. The 8 new APIs will be released in 2 phases, 3 in January 2024 and 5 by March 2024. All early adopters will receive 1 million free credits monthly during soft launch and heavy discounts when we hard launch the API service.
