Key Features

The API automatically discovers all DAOs from the Futarchy protocol without manual configuration. No need to maintain a list of DAOs - they’re discovered dynamically from the blockchain.
Prices are calculated from spot pool reserves in real-time, accounting for token decimal differences to ensure accuracy.
Trading volumes are calculated from accumulated protocol fees, providing accurate volume metrics that reflect actual trading activity.
Comprehensive liquidity information for all pools, calculated in USD for easy comparison.
Built with Bun for exceptional performance, featuring intelligent caching (10s for tickers, 100s for metadata) and rate limiting.
Fully compatible with CoinGecko’s DEX API specification, making integration seamless with existing tools and platforms.

​
Rate Limiting

The API implements rate limiting to ensure fair usage:
  • 60 requests per minute per IP address
  • Returns 429 Too Many Requests when limit is exceeded
  • Rate limits reset at the start of each minute window

​
Caching

The API uses intelligent caching to balance freshness with performance:
  • Tickers: 10 seconds TTL
  • Token Metadata: 100 seconds TTL (longer cache for static data)

​
Data Sources

All data comes from on-chain sources:
  1. Solana Blockchain - Pool reserves, DAO accounts, protocol fees
  2. Metaplex Token Metadata - Token symbols, names, and metadata
  3. Spot Pools Only - Prices calculated from spot pools, not conditional markets
Prices are only calculated from spot pools, not conditional/futarchy pools, to ensure spot market accuracy.

​
Response Format

All endpoints return JSON responses. Error responses follow a consistent format: 
{
  "error": "Error message describing what went wrong"
}
