Hi AmoreJaz, we're pulling ~90 exchanges and 22,000 trading pairs.

We aren't charging anything right now for inclusion consideration in a specific index -- we are exploring various commercialization paths but keeping everything free right now, so feel free to email us at admin (at) altdex.co and we can review the project. No guarantees but our team will add it to our rebalancing consideration for August 1st.

This appears incredible,kindly outline how you intend to achieve this

This appears incredible,kindly outline how you intend to achieve this

Hi Salz01, we saw an opportunity to provide an industry-first set of benchmarks that would allow investors to better monitor coin categories and find the best investment opportunities relative to the larger market. To achieve this, we've collected a team of economists and researchers (the team behind SludgeFeed) that will be actively working to build the platform. We have a lot of things planned and are excited to grow with the community, so we're always open to suggestions and feature requests.

Cheers!

thats a good start. pulling from about 90 exchanges is already a huge effort to begin with. and 22k trading pairs..great work!
your website might be a good reference for all those crypto beginners. they can get a good glimpse of whats happening in the crypto market.
and yeah thats what i thought of. of course you need to market this project first. so new projects should take advantage of this free service of yours. and once youre really in the business, a modest fee is understandable

Hi Everyone!

We've added a number of new features to improve the usability of our index platform.

Wanted to share that users can now track the performance of each index over time via a new performance tab. This is especially useful when you're considering investments in specific altcoin classes that perhaps are over or undervalued relative to the rest of the market.

The idea is excellent for many funds and large investors such option will be an excellent variation. The most important question now is what's with advertising? And are you going to get to some big conferences in the near future where you can discuss everything with large investors?
