# CoinPaprika

> Cryptocurrency market data platform: prices, liquidity-verified markets, order-book depth,
> the no-pay-to-play Paprika Trust Score, and a free public API covering 58k+ assets across
> 1,384+ exchanges plus 33 blockchains of DEX data (DexPaprika).

CoinPaprika (coinpaprika.com) is operated by CoinPaprika sp. z o.o. (also the operator of DexPaprika). Market data is collected independently from exchanges.

## Data & Market Pages

- [Coin pages](https://coinpaprika.com/coins/) (and [All coins](https://coinpaprika.com/all-coins/)): Full coin list with price, chart, Trust Score, and liquidity-verified markets
- [Market overview](https://coinpaprika.com/market-overview/): Global cryptocurrency market metrics and dominance
- [Token unlocks calendar](https://coinpaprika.com/token-unlocks/): Upcoming token emission and unlock schedules
- [Exchanges](https://coinpaprika.com/exchanges/): Exchange rankings and volume authenticity
- Coin detail pages: `https://coinpaprika.com/coin/{coin_id}/` (e.g. `https://coinpaprika.com/coin/btc-bitcoin/`)
- Per-coin Markdown endpoints: append `.md` to any coin URL (`https://coinpaprika.com/coin/{coin_id}.md`) for plain-text LLM ingestion
- Exchange detail pages: `https://coinpaprika.com/exchanges/{exchange_id}/` (e.g. `https://coinpaprika.com/exchanges/binance/`)

### Coin Pages & Markdown Endpoints

Each coin detail page (`/coin/{coin_id}/`) renders, server-side, above any client script:

- Live price, 24h change, market cap, and volume, sourced from the same ticker feed as the API.
- A Paprika Trust Score (0-100, graded A through D): a composite of volume authenticity and order-book liquidity depth across tracked markets, disclosed alongside its constituent sub-scores rather than as an opaque number.
- Liquidity-verified markets: the exchange/pair table is cross-checked against live order-book depth, not just self-reported volume.
- An answer-first summary paragraph, a question-shaped FAQ, and FAQPage/FinancialProduct JSON-LD (with `dateModified` set to the ticker's last-updated timestamp) for direct citation.
- Per-coin Markdown rendition: append `.md` to any coin URL (`https://coinpaprika.com/coin/{coin_id}.md`) for a plain-text version of the same page content: identity and rank, the answer-first summary, the live price block, the project description, and the same FAQ, in that order.

## Paprika Trust Score Methodology & Formula

- [Trust Score methodology](https://coinpaprika.com/trust-score/methodology/): Public, versioned scoring formula (0–100, graded A–D) designed to eliminate wash-trading and artificial volume inflation with zero pay-to-play ranking manipulation.

### Methodology & Sub-Scores

The Paprika Trust Score combines independently verifiable market signals into an equal-weighted composite:

1. **Volume Authenticity (0–100):** Over non-outlier markets, calculates the volume-weighted mean of exchange confidence weights:
   - High confidence: 1.0
   - Medium confidence: 0.5
   - No data / unverified: 0.25
   - Low confidence / wash-trading suspected: 0.0
   Formula: `score = round((sum(weight_i * volume_i) / sum(volume_i)) * 100)`

2. **Liquidity Depth (0–100):** Measures actual order-book absorption capacity within ±2% depth relative to 24h trading volume, adjusted for venue distribution breadth and spread tightness:
   - `ratioScore = 100 * min(1, totalDepthUsd / (0.10 * volume24hUsd))`
   - `breadth = min(1, venueCount / 10)`
   - `spreadScore = 100 * max(0, 1 - medianRelativeSpread / 0.01)`
   - Combined: `score = round(0.7 * ratioScore * breadth + 0.3 * spreadScore)`

3. **Reserve Backing (0–100):** For tokenized assets and wrapped tokens, validates proof-of-reserves, custodian attestation, and on-chain collateral coverage.

### Composite Score & Grade Mapping

The composite Trust Score is the equal-weighted average of all available sub-score signals, rounded to an integer and mapped to transparent tiers:
- **A (90–100):** Strong integrity and deep market depth
- **A− (80–89):** Strong liquidity with minor venue concentration
- **B+ (75–79):** Healthy liquidity across major venues
- **B (65–74):** Healthy, moderate order-book support
- **C+ (55–64):** Moderate liquidity, wider spreads
- **C (45–54):** Moderate to thin order-book depth
- **D (<45):** Weak liquidity or unverified volume
