Api3 API3

What API3 actually is on-chain

Api3 is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0x0b38210ea11411557c13457d4da7dc6ea731b88a. That address, not the ticker API3, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself API3, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, API3 is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in API3 itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Uniswap-style AMM pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need ETH in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

For API3 the project publishes a public source repository and an active account as @API3DAO. That is a partial paper trail — enough to check claims against, not enough to audit. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where API3 sits in the market

#491 places Api3 in the bottom of the mid-cap band. At this end of the mid-cap band listing status is not a fixed property. Exchanges review names like API3 on volume grounds, and a delisting notice repricing the asset faster than any chart pattern is a more realistic tail risk than anything in the indicator set.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 8 live API3 order books (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Gate.io, HTX…). That is wider coverage than most assets ranked near #491 carry, so a divergence on any one of them is far more likely to be a local liquidity event than a genuine repricing. One of them is a Korean won market, so the Kimchi-premium spread between the KRW and USDT quote is visible on this page.

API3 against its all-time high

API3 is more than 95% below its all-time high of $10.30 (on 2021-04-06) — a 43.4x gap. At this point the record has essentially no analytical value: it belongs to a different supply structure, a different holder base and often a different market cycle. The useful reference for API3 is the downside, not the peak, so the range section below matters more than this one. It was set 6 years ago. A reference that old says more about the cycle it belongs to than about the asset as it trades now.

API3 across its historical range

The recorded range runs 56.1x, from $0.1837 to $10.30 — wide by the standards of traditional assets, moderate for this one's class.

API3 is within 29.1% of its all-time low of $0.1837, printed on 2026-08-14. This is the part of a chart with no history: there is no prior trading below this level, so there is no support to reference, no volume shelf and no cost-basis cluster to lean on. Because that low is itself recent, the asset is in an active downtrend rather than sitting at an old floor — each new low invalidates the previous one as a reference.

API3 supply structure

API3 has no hard cap. 143.2 million API3 of a 168.2 million total is in circulation (85.1%), leaving 25.0 million held back. That overhang is modest but real — worth checking the unlock calendar before treating float as fixed.

What kind of asset API3 is

Api3 is a DeFi protocol token, which ties it to total value locked and to the interest-rate environment on-chain. These assets carry a beta to the market plus a second exposure that is easy to miss: protocol risk. A contract exploit or an oracle failure repriced instantly and independently of any market move, and that tail is a real component of holding the token.

CoinGecko files API3 under 6 categories, including Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Oracle, Ethereum Ecosystem, DWF Labs Portfolio, Pantera Capital Portfolio. CoinGecko also records deployments on Ethereum (3,072 tracked tokens), so its on-chain liquidity and its user base move with that network. Worth flagging from the metadata: API3 is listed in the DWF Labs portfolio.
