When a Crypto Data Giant Speaks Mandarin

Having built derivatives protocols that process $1B+ daily, I’ve developed a sixth sense for centralized points of failure. Enter Feixiaohao - the Beijing-based crypto data aggregator that even my Gujarati grandmother asks about. Let’s navigate this walled garden with our MITM-proof gloves on.

Function #1: Coin Autopsy Reports

Their coin profiles are eerily comprehensive - launch dates, wallet support, even exchange listing fees (the real KPIs). While CoinGecko shows prices, Feixiaohao reveals which VCs dumped tokens pre-listing. Pro tip: Cross-reference their “supported wallets” with GitHub commit activity unless you fancy signing txs to oblivion.

Function #2: Exchange Credibility Scores

The ER Index ranks exchanges using metrics sharper than my ZK-proof snarks. But remember - no amount of KYC badges can compensate for proof-of-reserves absence (cough Binance cough). That said, their phishing site blacklist saved three interns this quarter alone.

Function #3: Whale Watching Made Simple

From futures open interest to miner outflows, their dashboards rival my custom Grafana setup. Though I’d trade all their moving averages for one verifiable on-chain data source. Remember kids: Not your node, not your data.

The Centralization Paradox

For all its utility, Feixiaohao embodies crypto’s great irony - trusting centralized entities to decentralize finance. Until they open-source their ranking algorithms (or at least get audited), treat it like a CDC pandemic alert - useful but verify.

P.S. Their Android app requests 27 permissions. Make of that what you will.
