Where our data comes from

The BitGuard combines market data, public news APIs, on-chain RPCs, ETF flow sources, macroeconomic datasets, and live context sent to Guardian AI. This page documents the source categories honestly and avoids implying direct licensing or partnerships where none exist.

Market data

Market context is assembled from multiple public and commercial APIs, with fallback routing where the product needs resilience against stale or unavailable responses.

  • Binance API for live prices, charts, and derivatives metrics.
  • CoinGecko for dominance and market capitalization data.
  • CoinMarketCap for backup pricing.
  • Yahoo Finance for DXY, US10Y, VIX, and commodities.
  • Alternative.me for the Fear & Greed Index.

News

News inputs are used for headline discovery, classification, and context enrichment. The product links users back to original sources through the aggregator data returned by each provider.

  • CryptoPanic + RSS feeds for crypto news.
  • Newsdata.io for geopolitics and Fed-related headlines.
  • Finnhub for macro and finance news.
  • NewsAPI as a geopolitical fallback.

We aggregate and classify headlines from these public news APIs. We do NOT have direct licensing agreements with Reuters, Bloomberg, or the Financial Times — news from those outlets reaches us only via the aggregator feeds above, with links back to the original source.

On-chain RPC

Wallet and chain data comes from read-only RPC and explorer sources. The app does not request private keys, seed phrases, or transaction-signing permissions.

  • Helius/Ankr/public RPC for the Solana cascade.
  • Alchemy + native RPCs for EVM networks: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, and Avalanche.
  • Etherscan family explorers for supported EVM explorer lookups.
  • Cloudflare + LlamaNodes as ETH fallback sources.
  • Blockstream + Mempool.space for Bitcoin.
  • Cosmos REST endpoints for Cosmos Hub, Celestia, Injective, Saga, and Osmosis.

ETF Flows

ETF flow data is assembled from sources with different latency and availability profiles, depending on whether daily free data or premium real-time data is available.

  • Farside Investors for free daily scrape data.
  • CoinGlass for premium API access to real-time ETF flow data.

Macro

Macroeconomic indicators follow their native publication cadence and are not presented as real-time market ticks.

  • FRED — Federal Reserve Economic Data for US macroeconomic indicators.

Guardian AI

Multi-provider tier-aware cascade. We deliberately do not disclose the specific LLM providers and models in our cascade as this is competitive IP. Architecture: Free and paid tiers route to different model classes; queries fall through a chain of providers with automatic fallback. AI responses are grounded in live market context — current prices, sentiment, technicals, macro data, and news — injected as a system block, not hallucinated from training data.

Prices and chart data are fetched live with multi-source fallback to prevent stale or single-source failure modes. Data freshness varies by source: live prices update in real time, news headlines every few minutes, on-chain balances on a rolling cache with forced refresh available, and macro indicators on their native publication schedule.
