Does CoinGecko have wallet data?

No. CoinGecko provides market and onchain DEX data, not per-wallet balances or decoded transaction history. GoldRush covers wallets across 100+ chains.

Which is better for token prices?

CoinGecko has the broadest market-price coverage across 17,000+ coins. GoldRush provides token prices and OHLCV alongside wallet and onchain data, so you can get prices and address-level data from one API.

Do both support x402?

Yes. CoinGecko offers x402 at about $0.01 per request, and GoldRush ships x402 natively across its decoded-data API.

API comparison

GoldRush vs CoinGecko API

Onchain wallet and decoded data vs market and price data.

CoinGecko is the leading crypto market-data API: token prices, market data, and onchain DEX pool data via GeckoTerminal. It is not a wallet or onchain decoded-data API. GoldRush returns a wallet's balances, NFTs, and decoded transactions across 100+ chains. The two are complementary: CoinGecko for market and price reference, GoldRush for address-level onchain data.

Why teams choose GoldRush over CoinGecko API

The differences that matter when you're shipping multichain data, drawn from each product's public docs and pricing.

Address-level onchain data

GoldRush returns a wallet's balances, NFTs, and decoded transactions. CoinGecko is market and price data and does not return onchain data for a given address.

Decoded transaction history

Full, human-readable per-wallet activity across 100+ chains. CoinGecko has no wallet-transaction endpoint.

Data and prices in one API

GoldRush pairs wallet data with token prices and OHLCV. With CoinGecko you would combine it with a separate onchain provider.

Real-time streaming

GoldRush offers GraphQL subscriptions. CoinGecko refreshes on a 2-3s polling/cache model with no websockets.

Best for

GoldRush

Apps that need a wallet's onchain data: balances, NFTs, and decoded transaction history across 100+ chains.

CoinGecko API

Apps that need broad market and price data, coin market caps, and onchain DEX pool data.

Frequently asked questions

Only partly. CoinGecko is the leading market and price-data API (token prices, market caps, onchain DEX pool data). It does not return a wallet's onchain balances, NFTs, or transaction history. GoldRush is built for that address-level decoded data. Many apps use both.
