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
