Crypto data is only useful if it is complete, fast and right, and Birdeye covers thousands of data sources across the world's chains with no venture funding behind it. The company started as a website for tracking token price, volume and trading venues, then grew into data infrastructure that now serves over 5,000 enterprise clients, including wallets, decentralized exchanges and analysts.

Kha Nguyen, co-founder and CEO of Birdeye, explains how Birdeye keeps thousands of data sources in sync, how it decides which chains to support, and where it sits next to oracle providers like Chainlink. He also covers real-time data for brand-new tokens, why bootstrapping through the market cycles shaped the company, and how tokenized real-world assets and institutional adoption are making onchain data harder to get right. Not financial advice.
