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

GoldRush returns address-level onchain data for over 100 chains — including Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum and Solana — covering wallet balances, NFT holdings, decoded transactions, token prices and OHLCV. CoinGecko is a market-data API spanning 17,000 coins and 200 DEX networks with pool OHLCV via GeckoTerminal, and has no wallet balances, no per-wallet NFT holdings and no decoded transaction history. Both serve token prices, onchain DEX pool data and x402 pay-per-request (CoinGecko at about $0.01 per request). Try GoldRush free: 25,000 credits for 14 days. Use CoinGecko for market and price reference and GoldRush for address-level onchain data; they are complementary.

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.

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.

Same task, both APIs. Read top to bottom to see request shape and how much data each call returns.

GoldRush

// GoldRush: spot price for a token address
const res = await fetch(

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.
