Santiment
Social and on-chain analytics. Social volume, development activity, whale alerts.
Overview
Santiment is a cryptocurrency analytics platform that uniquely combines on-chain, social, and development data to provide behavioral insights into the crypto market. Founded in 2016, Santiment has built a comprehensive data layer that goes beyond traditional price and volume analysis.
The platform tracks over 2,000 trading pairs with more than 750 metrics across 12 blockchains. What sets Santiment apart is its social sentiment analysis — the platform monitors discussions across social media platforms to quantify crowd behavior and identify potential market turning points.
Santiment serves hedge fund managers, retail investors, and project teams with tools for identifying anomalies, tracking developer activity, and understanding the relationship between social trends and price movements.
