Hi Steem Community!
We are CoinGecko, the 360Β° cryptocurrency data aggregator that ranks digital currencies by trading volume, market capitalization, developer and community activity. We are one of the earliest and largest cryptocurrency ranking websites in the world having established ourselves since April 2014. We now track close to 3,000 coins from over 200 crypto exchanges and serve on average around 15 million monthly pageviews to users globally.
Our vision is to democratize access to cryptocurrency data and we want to improve crypto data transparency. We foresee a decentralized future where financial markets are open and we see ourselves playing a role as one of the best crypto data provider in the market.
We hope you are happily using CoinGecko to check on Steem price; in case you run your own website, hopefully you have been embedding our Steem price widget too!
If you have been using CoinGecko and have been keeping an eye on us, you would know that we have not been the most vocal cryptocurrency company. It is not because we are being deliberately secretive but we have been hard at work trying to evolve and keep up with all the rapid changes happening in the crypto space. At CoinGecko, we strive to be the best in what we do and have been focusing on developing a great platform which is informative and beneficial to our users. There is a lot of work that has gone into aggregating all these information in real time and there is a lot more information and data that we strive to collect and aggregate with CoinGecko.
Why are we on Steem?
As part of our strategy to connect more closely with our users, we are moving to establish CoinGecko on Steem to collect more feedback from our users to better improve our product offerings.
We have been observing the growth of the Steem community for many years and are impressed with the way this community has grown. This post is the first of the many steps that we plan to take in Steem and we would like to get your support to continue our journey as we learn more.
We feel that there is a lot of potential for Steem and we would like to play a role as Steem develops further.
Capitalizing on Steem's Community
The Steem blockchain is built with an interesting token economy where community members are incentivized and rewarded for content creation. We have been creating content for many years and would also now like to take the next step and publish some of our content on Steem. We would like to witness first hand how this content incentivization works and how we can collaborate with the Steem community to educate more users on blockchain technology.
Currently, as you can verify for yourselves, we have staked our account with some amount of Steem Power. We intend to fully utilize the voting power granted from this stake to reward Steem community members who leave their thoughts about us. (Psst, Steemians, hope you get the hint ππ)
As a Start
Right off the bat, we hope to read what you have to say about CoinGecko as a whole. Please share your comments, reviews, thoughts, suggestions, and even pain points if there's any. All feedback is valuable to us and we appreciate it. You are free to leave them as comments and posts on Steemit.com or any other Steem Dapps. Even videos, podcast, photos and even memes on any of the growing list of independent Steem Dapps are accepted. To make it easier for us to find your content, we encourage you to use the #coingecko hashtag.
While you are at it, do also check out some of the features that we have at CoinGecko and tell us what you think of it.
a) Newsletter
Every weekday at around 12:00 GMT, we send out a daily crypto market newsletter with price movements and top 3 news of the day. By reading our daily newsletter, we are sure your knowledge of crypto will improve over time as we work hard to curate the best content available. Do subscribe to our newsletter if you have not already done so.
b) iOS and Android App
In July 2018, we launched our iOS and Android App. It is still on version 1 and they are both still rudimentary but we are working hard to add more features and we hope to share some exciting news in the coming weeks on some major feature updates.
c) API
We launched version 3 of our CoinGecko API in May 2018 and are proud to say that we already have several notable websites and apps using our API. We plan to keep this API free as we believe access to crypto data should not be restricted. We encourage Steem developers to make use of our API and would love to see some of the things that you build. If itβs interesting enough, we will give a shoutout on our API documentation page.
d) Telegram & Discord Bots
You may not know this but we created chat bots to solve our own itch to check crypto prices. We have a Telegram bot @CoinGeckoBot which you can PM or invite into your groups. We also recently launched our Discord.
d) Google Sheets Add-On
We wanted a way to do some analysis on Google Sheets and needed a way to quickly import crypto data. We created this Google Sheets Add-On to make our lives easier and would like to share it with the community.
We have many other features which we would love to highlight but we shall stop and just include some other interesting links here for you to reference: 2018 Q2 Crypto Report (Q3 is coming out soon!), Compare Feature, ATH chart.
Do take a look at our features above and tell us what you think about them. We are actively collecting feedback on how to make them better so do share your thoughts with us.
Moving Forward
Moving on, we will use Steem as one of our two-way communication channel. Expect us to post our announcements, run surveys, conduct contests, share our content, AMA, among other things in the future. Do reach out to us by commenting below this post or feel free to reach us directly via email at [email protected], Twitter @coingecko or also in our Telegram chat group .
There is just so much that we would love to do on Steem that it would be impossible to list them all out in a single post. With enough luck and perseverance, CoinGecko is here to stay for the long haul. We have certainly proven that we are not a fly-by-night operation having established ourselves for 4.5 years now. We have a lot more coming so do keep an eye on us in this space. We believe Steemians love to say this so we shall end this post with "See you around the blockchain"!

I didn't know that STEEM actually exists since many years. ;-)
Welcome to Steemit!
Time flies, 1 month feels like 1 year to us geckos :)
:)
Awesome! I am using coingecko for a long time now and have recommended it to many others as it is a great tool to keep track of exactly the coins one wants to track. Glad to have you on here! !pancakes for everyone
We're glad to know that!
If there is any suggestions at all that you'd like to give, just holla at us. We're happy to receive any feedback.
Let me have a go:
One thing I would like to see is a view of my main coins with their $ price and their price respective to BTC and ETH, but when I enable all three the chart gets really really small with all the labels. So being able to have bigger cards in the dashboard would be nice.
Also a feature where there is only one chart but one can add multiple currencies in multiple denominators to it. Say STEEMβ$ and STEEMβBTC and SBDβSTEEM and SBDβ$ all in one chart and that chart full screen.
There are moments when I would enjoy a say 1h view in addition to the 24h view. Or a 3 day view with markers of days so one can check for daily patterns.
That are the things I have so far :)
Hello @reggaemuffin!
We were looking back on this post and then realized we must have somehow missed this comment train! Apologies!!
Actually we are looking into that (chart label) issue for some time. There are some fixes which we hope you find to your liking. As for the Dashboard card size, we'll see how we can work around it. No guarantees but we're definitely looking into it.
Ooh, Power user!! In that case, we will recommend you our free API for your dedicated full-screen chart! talk to us in Discord to see if our community can help you with it!
I really like the convenience of having a goto website so I would not like to code my own chart. Are there tools that use the api which I can easily use?
Glad that you are working on the issues :)
hmm, so far we haven't come across any fan of ours with that tool. :(
One small thing I noticed: Steems community score is as 40% which is probably because we have our own blockchain community and don't need reddit or twitter as much. Can that be factored into the score?
Yes, we realized that.
At the moment we're not factoring that into Community Rank. We tried but there are simply too much challenges that it's not feasible when looking from the birds-eye view on the whole cryptocurrency industry. (ie. How do you compare a Steemit/Busy/Esteem user to a Twitter follower ... etc)
This might change in the future though as more people start using blockchain based social media.. who knows!
@coingecko Wuhhh , Welcome ! I love coingecko.com <3 I'm glad !
Welcome Aboard the Steem Train!
And don't forget to add your steemit account in the 'Follow Us' section of your website. With over 1 Million accounts already created you'll never know who might start following you ;-)

for some time I was dependent on coinmarket I had to really make a few comparisons and I found out that coingecko is cool way damn precise too, Well I have a few feedbacks too for you guys, looking forward to what you hope to do with STEEM
I usually see fake pumps at coinmarketcap
Great to have another familiair name show up on here. And with some serious vestment to boot. Thatβs putting your money where your mouth is π
Just something I noticed when checking your site, I got a popdown for the app but the app is advertised as Bitcoin Crypto App. I would think thatβs a rather limited description. Youβre so much more than just bitcoin related.
Anyways, welcome. Weβll be seeing you around.
ps. Be sure to check out our app Steemify to get pushnotifications on mobile phones for comments, transfers, acccount changes etc.
Hi @blockbrothers, good to see you commenting here. Yes, we will definitely check out Steemify soon! :)
Yes, our app is definitely more than just bitcoin but there is a character limit from Apple App Store and we could not have a longer title.
Hey guys!
Do you have Google Sheets and Excel integration?
Yes we do, this add-on is for Google Sheets https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/coingecko-cryptocurrency/ljiodamkcogcfdknlabjlpeiaolmfeeb
Oh welcome to Steem @coingecko. Lots more to track when SMTs go live next year! :)
Glad to be onboard! any SMTs looking to get listed on coingecko can fill up a request form at https://goo.gl/forms/1sRArLUxDAggur5t2
We'll be watching SMT closely and is interested to see what changes it'll bring to the industry.
Welcome! I have used your services in the past and have found them very useful. I'm glad you have decided to join this community :)
Thanks!
Do share about which parts of Coingecko.com you find very useful. You're encouraged to write a standalone review post about it but a comment is just as great. We'll definitely take note from it.
Wow... Cool! It's the Gecko that can find you the most obscure coins in the world!! Welcome! ππ

We try to include every coin we can! You can always suggest to us which new coins to look at if it isn't included in our list yet.
Welcome :)
I'm using CoinGecko every day.

Glad that you are! have you checked our our app and newsletter? Makes it easier to keep your update.

This is awesome! I've always used coingecko to refer the prices of cryptocurrency since I can easily convert them to my local currency right inside coingecko. If you want to know, coingecko-steem-price-in-ringgit is one of my bookmark since it makes things so easy when I want to buy/sell steem with my fellow members of #TeamMalaysia.
If I can give 1 suggestion, it would be to change the "homepage" of steem from
steemit.comtosteem.ioin your information page about Steem. Also steem's blocktime is 3 seconds.Minor edits of course but I think that would help in better educating the masses about Steem, and maybe give abit more green to steem's price.
My mind is blown when I realize you're on this platform because honestly I didn't expect this day to come so soon. I'm sure the steem community now have your back and more and it'll be super interesting to see the positive effects it brings to your overall brand image.
With this happening im super bullish about Steem when companies get to see what Steem offers in terms of free advertising and marketing. More than free, because not only no money is actually spent (only invested), but steem will one day moon and give you guys a nice green ROI.
This is something to talk about come Steemfest3.
I've used CoinGecko for a while now, much better than CoinMarketCap.
Welcome to Steem!
Thanks! If you have any suggestions at all on how we can do better, do let us know either on Steemit or via email at [email protected]
Nice! You actually got some skin in the game with the SP invested.
Beeing a crypto addict myself, I have used your site many times. I like its minimalistic design and the layout of information. It's very easy to navigate around and use.
I have only used the browser version though. I'll test the android version soon and leave some feedback on one of your future posts.
Happy Steeming!
Happy to hear that. Have you heard of our newsletter already? We hope you find the daily news and price update useful for you.
Big News for Steemit - welcome here masters of coin tracking
Hi! Welcome @coingecko
Well, someone who is not a pro in crypto needs a real powerful but straightforward tool or app.
Most importantly it won't take up much space of my phone memory and it doesn't lag so much.
When the people like me (half pro) feel easy to use, I believe it will be very successful of your apps then!
Hope my feedback helps....
anyway, just some of my feedback, not necessarily it will fully cater my need.
Thank you @pizzapai
In that case may we suggest trying our iOS https://bit.ly/coingecko-ios or Android https://bit.ly/coingecko-android app for a start. They are both lightweight and straightforward as compared to the website.
Ok!! Thanks for the links!
I used it some time ago. You offer way more features than cmc. Plus your site is faster in response. I guess its all about marketing. Youtuber should use it more.
I havent looked if I can use APIs, cmcs APIs for Querys are a pain
Your presence here is a good step
Do check out CoinGecko's API and let us know your experience using it!
you can look at our API at https://coingecko.com/api/
Also feel free to contact us if you have any question at [email protected]
Yay!!! Finally. I too have been using coingecko since Iβve actively started with Steemit. You are like, the only website Iβve recommended to my friends. So happy you guys are finally on board.
A huge welcome to Steemit @coingecko! I`ve been a user of your site for a while now, great job you guys have done.
Wishing you a successful steemit experience, enjoy the ride!
If you have any suggestions or thoughts about us at all. Just shout! We'll definitely be reading.

Welcome guys. It's nice to see someone actually investing in Steem power.
You have a great site which I'm using for everyday crypto tracking.
The only issue I have is that I need to sign up to my account quite often, but maybe is something wrong on my side.
Thanks! If you are referring to the notification that appears/disappears, there appears to be a glitch since we added the "Favorite" buttons, our engineers are working on resolving this issue soon. Sign up is optional, you may continue to use the site as is.
Feel free to let us know if you have any other feedback or suggestions.
Thanks.
Did I just push you to rep 72? lol
You might have. Its feels great to push people up in ranks. I've done it in the past and it felt great.
Exciting times ahead.. A warm welcome and really glad to see you guys here.
My first and most improved question is, can you save me 15% or more on crypto by switching to coin gecko?
π I just couldnβt help myself
"Did the little piggy cry 'wee wee wee' all the way home?" πΈ
Welcome @coingecko. I want to personally thank you for joining Steemit and vesting a considerable amount of STEEM to support our community. You are clearly setting the bar for other businesses.
I know it didn't come easy as you were having difficulty transferring STEEM during our Exchange wallet outage aggravated by the recent Hard Fork. I appreciate witnesses that supported with recommendations on how to get around this temporary issue.
I have a suggestion if you are interested:
Most ranking sites including coingecko rank exchanges that no longer support transfers in or out of the exchange. For instance, there is a significant amount of STEEM on one of those exchanges called HitBTC. Their STEEM wallets have been frozen for 8 months now. We presume that HitBTC will never fix their wallet issue. Much of that STEEM came from users here and got marooned on HitBTC. Occasionally when there is high market volume, the price of STEEM and SBD on HitBTC will moon. I have seen price shoot to $140 per STEEM. This is not real since the exchange has abandoned their wallet and are trading virtual versions of STEEM and SBD. This also causes massive inaccuracy in the price and ranking of our currency. I recommend that HitBTC be set apart on STEEM and SBD ranking with a note stating that HitBTC STEEM/SBD wallets are not functioning.
Hello @socky, we are well aware of this issue on some of the exchanges. If you look at the Steem price based from the exchanges data we pull. We constantly mark out outliers that either show negligible volume or prices that do not correspond to the weighted average. So while it's still listed on the panel, it is no longer taken into consideration until it no longer becomes an outlier.
This is fantastic news! Welcome to the community.
If some Steemians haven't used CoinGecko before, they will now. And you would definitely be hearing from them.
The one I'm interested in is the API, planning on creating a Python wrapper for it :)
I'm sure the CoinGeckoBot will have an influx of use since we have a lot of communities here who are on Discord.
Thank you! The API documentation can be found https://www.coingecko.com/api/
We have not launched any SDK yet. Would be great to see your Python wrapper coming up for convenience of other developers.
I have a question.. why is coingecko and coinmarketcap always showing different prices
We may be considering different set of exchanges and the price captured for tickers may be at a different time, which causes each ticker price to be slightly different.
Hey and welcome here. Using Coingecko since a long time. Never expected you guys here on Steemit, but hey, now you joined! Thats awesome. Have a nice time here. Looking forward to read great stuff! Enjoy!
i like you, CoinGecko! it's a very informative system :)
Welcome @coingecko to the awesome Steem Community and the #TeamMalaysia family as well π
Welcome to steemit family! Good luck! I am sure that you will fully enjoy your journey here:)
Welcome to Steemit @coingecko!
Great read. Welcome on the best community on the internet, Steemit. I love your website because of putting a developer section to see how the projects are doing. I believe that we are still on very early phase of this technology and the projects that has more developer is going to succeed in the long run.
I just wanted to add something in the community section, I think it is a good idea to add Steem community in that section to be factored, I saw facebook, reddit, and twitter followers on that line. By the way, welcome again... Followed you
Cool to have you around!
If I remember correctly, SteemWorld, one of the best steem tools out there for checking one's Voting Power and similar stuff, has coingecko as one of it's sources for checking the steem and SBD price (the other ones available are CoinMarketCap and WorldCoinIndex)
Let's hope for some cool interaction with the cryptocurrency community on steem!
Hi TM Lee and Bobby!
Welcome to Steem⦠I'm hoping that you'll find the community more engaging/engaged than we traditional social media sites.... and that you might update the community score of Steem accordingly.
What I would ask of you though, is that you're very well placed to be an incredible case study for other organisations looking to harness the Steem blockchain community for engagement/ideas/testing/Google ranking, etc... I'd ask that you create a baseline of your engagement (CoinGecko page views for example), and then maybe post in 6 months on the differences that a 20kSP investment made... did you rise in Google Ranking for particular keywords? Did your website get more hits? More API usage, etc?
I think the community would love to see this kind of data, I'm sure other organisations would find it incredibly helpful, and it will help Steem developers work out what they might need to build to assist organisations in their goals!
(Obviously I didn't mean to give you homework in your first few hours, but baselines are crucial) - welcome aboard! I'm sure we're all following you now, so let us know how we can all help you...
Hi @aussieninja , thanks for the suggestion!
Our primary goal is to engage with the community here; case study is certainly something we can try to establish alongside. Always something new to learn, so we really dont mind these homework :)
Will definitely reach out when we have questions, much appreciated!
I'm so excited that up for it... I don't think it'd be too much effort, just grab some stats from say yesterday and then compare in 3 or 6 months. This is so exciting! We're very happy to have you on the platform!!
Feel free to use Musing.io to ask specific questions you have, or you'll probably have some good luck running tasks or competitions (with upvotes as prizes) to help improve your Google rankings... I think the community will be particularly active in helping you out because a.) we all love crypto and b.) the platform really wants businesses like yourself to invest in the platform, even for just a few months.
Also... your profile picture is the best!
Welcome to Steemit !!!
I have never used @coingecko but I will be looking into it. It looks like a very helpfull tool.
Tell us what you think! Check out all our tools if it interests you and definitely subscribe to our newsletter, we're sure you'll find it helpful.
It's great to have you here. I started teaching people to use Coingecko for evaluating crypto they were thinking of investing in on my Youtube "Conscious Crypto" channel late last year. It is the most helpful of all the ranking sites because it allows you to compare apples to apples across different projects. I'm really glad to be able to have 2-way communication with your team now. Following.
Thank you and we are glad that you find the tool useful. We have some new cool features that may further add value to research work. To name a few
Feel free to let us know any feedback or suggestions, we are here!
This is a very concise and informative overview of CoinGecko. I learned a lot about the functions available here. Thanks for the post.
Finally see you here @coingecko team. It's really good news dear. I hope this team update us more and more.
welcome once again !
Nice. Not quite sure about the cc though xD
CC won't work there ... only works in comments like this @holybranches
Amazing to see that even big crypto sites like coingecko are interested in steem. I always use your website.
A Warm Welcome to Steemit @coingecko! Have been using Coingecko site for quite some time now and finally see you guys in steemit. It is very exciting!
A Hearty welcome to the Steem Blockchain,just reach out to a few Steemit witnesses to give you the stats of the Steem blockchain so that you can show the world how great this community/blockchain is!
You can reach out to @reggaemuffin to brief you all the developments we have here.We are happy you have joined us.
Why is there a huge discrepancy between the top 20 on coingecko.com and the top 20 on coincap.io or coinmarketcap.com ?
For example NEO is number 15 on both of those other sites but on coingecko.com NEO is number 8.
Never mind, I think I get it now. The default sort is based on a bunch of factors not just market cap.
This is a little confusing though. It's not obvious how much weight is given to each factor.
Hi @revulv , sorry for the initial confusion! Yes reason why the ranking appears differently is that our default sorting is based on the various different components ie. market cap, volume, developer, community, etc.
Ordering by market cap as seen here https://www.coingecko.com/en?order=desc&sort_by=market_cap will be very close to the other websites
We are still working on changes on how we can make this less clear and confusing to most users, which we hope would be an improvement.
Working on it? Just change the default sort order. Problem solved.
Welcome to Steem @coingecko.
