Our offer
While practically all free crypto datasets don’t contain market depth data, we provide depth snapshots with 20 levels of order book data on each order book side. This is essential for precise backtests, execution simulation, (statistical) arbitrage strategies or market making. While most quants look at widely available trade candle data, we believe there is a lot more alpha left in more detailed data, depth data and tick data in general.

Great API performance, I can load data from 10 AWS machines in parallel.
Love the order book snapshots, they allow me to do very precise backtests.
I finally became profitable based on optimization on Lake data.
