Data & Methodology

TokenLume data sources

Which providers TokenLume uses for Cardano market data, on-chain queries, and pricing — and what that means for coverage.

Provider map

TokenLume aggregates third-party APIs and persists snapshots for the product UI. Exact wiring can evolve; the categories below reflect the current architecture.

Market metrics, candles, pools — primarily Minswap Market Data API; DexHunter for multi-DEX trade/pool enrichment where configured
On-chain metadata, tip, totals, wallet/chain queries — Koios (primary Cardano provider) with optional Blockfrost fallback when keyed
ADA spot, chain TVL, DEX volume context — DefiLlama where used

TokenLume does not claim to observe 100% of Cardano activity. DEX-centric market coverage differs from CEX tickers. See Limitations.

Provider outages

If a provider fails or rate-limits, workers mark sync health and the API may serve the last persisted snapshots. Numbers can be delayed or incomplete during incidents.
