Data sources & freshness

Pyxis composes its briefings from a wide set of free, public crypto data sources, including CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, DefiLlama, DexScreener, GeckoTerminal, Binance, the Fear & Greed Index, Etherscan, Solscan, Reddit, and Snapshot, plus news search.

Freshness markers

Each data point is tagged so you can judge it:

  • [live] — fetched fresh for this run.
  • [cached] — served from a short-lived cache (prices cache for about a minute; slower-moving data such as TVL or yields caches longer).

Every briefing ends with a Data Freshness table listing each source, its endpoint, when it was sampled, and whether it was live or cached.

Pre-listing coverage

Because DexScreener is queried for every token, Pyxis can often say something useful about a token the day liquidity appears — before the big aggregators list it. Coverage is thinner for those tokens, and the briefing reflects that.

A note on Solana

On EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, BSC) Pyxis can check verified contract source code. On Solana it reports on-chain metadata and holder distribution only — not source-code verification.
