Key Features

Dual-Basis Kimchi Premium (Industry First)

  • Both official USD/KRW basis (matches what exchanges display) and USDT real-trade basis (what arbitrage bots actually trade) in a single response

  • The 0.3-1% gap between the two is the structural USDT premium itself — measurable, actionable

  • Critical for AI trading agents: the official basis is misleading; only USDT basis reflects true arbitrage margin after capital movement costs

  • No other Kimchi Premium API in the x402 ecosystem provides this dual-basis view

KR Sentiment (Unique — No Competitors Worldwide)

  • Real-time Korean market sentiment delivered in English

  • Combines exchange data (189+ tokens Kimchi Premium, warnings, volume spikes, deposit soaring) with Korean news context (Coinness Telegram, 6-hour window)

  • Claude AI generates: sentiment (BULLISH/BEARISH/CAUTIOUS_FOMO/PANIC/GREED/UNCERTAIN), score (-1.0 to +1.0), English report, exchange signals, news context, sources

  • Academic research validates: "Korean news sentiment predicts global crypto returns" (2026)

  • 1-hour cache + lazy invocation + concurrency lock for cost efficiency

Global vs Korea Divergence

  • Light tier: real-time premium between CoinGecko global price and Korean exchange (Upbit), with 1-2 sentence AI interpretation

  • Deep tier: adds Korean news signals (Coinness Telegram, 24h keywords + sentiment score) and structured AI analysis with Korean market drivers, global context, action suggestion, and confidence level

  • 25 supported symbols (BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, ADA, DOGE, DOT, MATIC, LINK, AVAX, ATOM, UNI, LTC, NEAR, OP, ARB, APT, ALGO, FTM, SUI, TRX, BCH, ETC, HBAR, SHIB)

Arbitrage Scanner

  • Real-time Kimchi Premium for every token traded on both Upbit and Binance (189+)

  • Reverse premium detection (Korean discount = buy signal)

  • Upbit vs Bithumb price gap scanner (domestic arbitrage)

  • Market share tracking (Upbit vs Bithumb volume)

Exchange Alerts

  • New listing / delisting detection (market list comparison every 60s)

  • Investment warning flags (from Upbit official API)

  • Caution flags: price fluctuations, volume soaring, deposit soaring, global price differences, small account concentration

Market Movers

  • 1-minute price surge/crash detection (>1% in 60 seconds)

  • Volume spike detection (24h change rate, >1B KRW volume)

  • Top 20 tokens by trading volume

AI Market Read

  • 12+ data sources combined: Kimchi Premium, stablecoin premium, FX rate, Upbit/Bithumb volume TOP 5, BTC funding rate, open interest, dominance, Fear & Greed, + exchange intelligence (180+ tokens)

  • Claude AI generates: signal (BULLISH/BEARISH/NEUTRAL), confidence (1-10), summary, key factors, token-level alerts, risk warning
