Glassnode

Glassnode provides on-chain analytics, market intelligence, and thousands of curated metrics covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other major chains. The Glassnode API serves time-series data for price, supply, addresses, transactions, derivatives, mining, market indicators, and proprietary signals (e.g. SOPR, MVRV, NUPL). Authentication uses an X-Api-Key header. API access requires an institutional plan or paid add-on.

Glassnode publishes 13 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Addresses API, Derivatives API, Distribution API, and 10 more. Tagged areas include Web3, Cryptocurrency, Onchain, Analytics, and Metrics.

The Glassnode catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Glassnode’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, pricing, engineering blog, and 10 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 does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

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/.

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.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
x402 Micropayments & Agentic Pay-per-Call	standard	40.9 (thin)	-	-

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 implemented 2

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.
