Thanks to everyone in the community who worked with us through the past few months of beta testing and soft launch.
Everything is up and running well, and we're constantly iterating improvements.
Bitcoin’s Ultimate Data Source is Now Named ‘Kaiko’Kaiko Index:

Blockchain Visualizer:
At Challenger Deep, the company building the bitcoin industry's ultimate data source, we’re rebranding our service as ‘Kaiko’.The new name is easier to remember, and fits with the company’s motto: if you dive deep beneath what you see on the surface, there’s a fascinating world to explore. (For the record, ‘Kaiko’ was the name of the robot submersible that explored Challenger Deep – the deepest ocean point on Earth – in 1995.)
We want Kaiko to be the bitcoin industry’s data barometer.
Whatever you need to know about this amazing new scene, whatever data you need to crunch to find positions and uncover trends, it’ll be available here.
Kaiko serves all industry participants, from investors and traders all the way to consumers and even beginners. We have a bitcoin price index (the Kaiko Index), market feeds from major exchanges, and a detailed blockchain explorer. There’s also live block size and mining data, plus various charts to show bitcoin's finer details like average transaction fees and volumes.
Live data feeds will be available for anyone to use via open API access.
For newcomers who might find bitcoin’s various concepts a bit daunting at first, there’s plenty of material to explain what all the different charts mean and how to use the information.
Key Feature Details Founder and CEO Pascal Gauthier:
"A solid data foundation is mandatory in any industry. No-one can act without it. What kind of business to launch, where to position it, what time is right, etc. A solid data foundation is mandatory before making any of these decisions."The statistics Kaiko offers are some of the digital currency and blockchain industry’s most useful. A live price index shows an average of bitcoin’s current value in three of the most-traded currencies (USD, CNY and EUR). The Kaiko Index includes the large China-based exchanges to find a true global average price.
* * * For traders, more detailed charts display the differing prices at various exchanges. And as an accurate indicator of true trading volumes, there’s an advanced order book visualization (including order history) for each platform.
The blockchain visualizer shows the exact time and size of each block, with a mempool guide to show how much transaction data is included in each.
As well as bitcoin-related stats, Kaiko also features new charts showing the effects of non-bitcoin applications and assets on the blockchain – such as CounterParty, Eternity Wall and Factom. These stats also indicate levels of popularity and interest in these alternative blockchain use cases, as side-industries develop.
For now, Kaiko’s blockchain and exchange APIs are open and free to use.
Looking for more data expertsKaiko is headquartered in London, with a research and development team located in Paris. We are currently recruiting, and seeking bitcoin-enthusiast engineers and data analysts to expand its team.
Kaiko is also a proud sponsor of the Scaling Bitcoin 2015 event in Hong Kong, 6-7 December 2015. We want this industry to flourish and are glad to support the talented people taking it to the next level.
Great improvements. I would like to join my hands with you.
