Why You’re Overpaying for Crypto Data (And Why It’s Not Your Fault)


If you’re building for DeFi, you are currently paying for data you don’t use.

The big incumbents (CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, etc.) charge enterprise rates because they maintain expensive infrastructure to track Centralized Exchanges. They scrape Binance, scrub wash-trading, and normalize order books.

That’s great for them. But why are you paying for it?
If your users are swapping on Uniswap, paying a premium for Binance data is just burning runway.

Stop Paying for the Middleman
We built qoery to fix the pricing model for DeFi data.

They query CEXs. We query the blockchain directly (Uniswap v2/v3).
They charge for aggregation. We charge for raw access.
They cost hundreds a month. We start at $4.99.
We cut out the “CEX Tax” and passed 85% of the savings back to you.
