Real-time Updates
Simple Overview
Open a websocket & get balances, prices, and portfolio updates in real time. No more polling or stale data. Your users see their assets update as the market moves.

Headlag
What is Coingecko and what it does
CoinGecko is the reference for aggregated market data: coin rankings, CEX volumes, global market cap, Bitcoin dominance. If your app shows the BTC price pulled once every 30 seconds, CoinGecko works fine.
The wall appears the moment you need anything on-chain. Wallet transaction history, real-time trade streams, webhook triggers on specific events, or sub-second data freshness none of that is in CoinGecko's model. It's built for market overview, not for DeFi infrastructure.
Complex Data
Mobula Headlag
BASIC Data
GeckoTerminal Headlag
On Base and Solana, Mobula reflects on-chain events roughly 160x faster than GeckoTerminal.
On Ethereum, both providers operate in the multi-second range Mobula at ~6.4s, GeckoTerminal at ~9.7s.

Why Teams switch from Coingecko to Mobula ?
Real-time vs 20 second updates
CoinGecko refreshes data roughly every 20 seconds. On Base, Mobula has it in 33ms. For a trading bot or live terminal, a 20-second lag isn't a minor inconvenience — it's the difference between acting on a price and reacting to one that's already moved.
Wallet data
CoinGecko covers token-level market data. It doesn't index wallets. If your app needs to show a user's transaction history, P&L, or portfolio positions sourced on-chain, you need a different provider from day one.
Webhook push vs pull
CoinGecko requires polling. Mobula lets you register a webhook and get notified the moment a specific on-chain event occurs — a swap, a transfer, a new holder crossing a threshold. Less infrastructure on your end, faster reaction time on your users' end.
Financial-grade data sourcing
Mobula price data is validated through Chainlink, Supra, and API3. Not scraped or aggregated from market sentiment. For applications where data integrity matters — DeFi protocols, treasury management, risk tooling that distinction is relevant.
