ColdSnap (formerly Sigma Phase, Corp.) is a Billerica, Massachusetts hardware and frozen-confection company founded in October 2018 by Matt Fonte, whose plug-and-play countertop appliance chills and churns a single serving of premium ice cream, frozen yogurt, non-dairy dessert, frozen latte, protein shake, smoothie or frozen cocktail from a shelf-stable recyclable pod in about two minutes, with no refrigeration, plumbing or cleaning between servings. The company commercially launched in April 2024 and sells machines, pods and accessories to restaurants and bars, hotels, golf and sports clubs, colleges, senior living, car dealerships, offices, convenience stores and micro markets. Its digital surface is a Shopify-hosted commerce storefront at coldsnap.com serving a live, anonymously introspectable Storefront GraphQL API, an anonymous Model Context Protocol server at /api/mcp, a Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) merchant profile and agentic-commerce endpoint, plus published llms.txt and agents.md agent-instruction documents.
ColdSnap is listed with 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Commerce, E-Commerce, Retail, and Food and Beverage.
ColdSnap’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, YouTube channel, authentication, and 32 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Other styles, a README pill and a shields.io endpoint are on the badge page.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/coldsnap: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market:
its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted:
not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted.
Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
