Question 1

What is DexPaprika?

Accepted Answer

DexPaprika is a real-time decentralized exchange (DEX) analytics platform. It aggregates live prices, liquidity, transactions, and volume data from 33+ blockchains into a single free interface and API — no API key required for public endpoints.

Question 2

Which blockchains does DexPaprika support?

Accepted Answer

DexPaprika tracks over 33 blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, Base, BNB Chain (BSC), Arbitrum, Avalanche, Polygon, Optimism, HyperEVM, Sui, Tron, Monad, Plasma, and more. Each chain page shows all pools and DEX protocols operating on that network.

Question 3

Pool prices, volume, and liquidity update every block — roughly 1-15 seconds depending on the chain. The TV Board and streaming endpoints push updates in real time via Server-Sent Events.

Question 4

Is DexPaprika free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Browsing the website, using the search, and calling the public REST API are all free. No signup or API key is required for the public endpoints. See https://docs.dexpaprika.com/introduction for details.

Question 5

Can AI agents use DexPaprika?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DexPaprika publishes an A2A Agent Card, MCP discovery document, WebMCP manifest, OpenAPI spec, and llms.txt. Every page supports Accept: text/markdown content negotiation so agents can fetch Markdown versions of the same content. A CLI with an MCP server is available at https://github.com/coinpaprika/dexpaprika-cli.

Question 6

What is a liquidity pool?

Accepted Answer

A liquidity pool is a smart contract holding two or more tokens that enables decentralized trading. Traders swap against the pool rather than against another user, and the pool price adjusts based on the constant-product or weighted formula of the underlying DEX protocol (Uniswap V2/V3, Curve, Balancer, etc.).

Question 7

What does DEX stand for?

Accepted Answer

DEX stands for Decentralized Exchange — a peer-to-peer crypto trading venue running as smart contracts on a blockchain. Unlike centralized exchanges (CEXes), DEXes do not custody user funds; traders swap from their own wallets.
