== What is Messari?==
== What is Messari?==


Messari is a leading provider of crypto market intelligence. Think of it as a central hub for researching [[digital assets]]. It doesn't *trade* crypto for you, but it provides the data and tools to help *you* trade better. It aims to bring transparency and professionalism to the crypto space, which is often criticized for a lack of reliable information.
Messari is a data analytics and research platform focused on the crypto asset space. Unlike a [[cryptocurrency exchange]] like [https://www.binance.com/en/futures/ref/Z56RU0SP Register now] Binance, Messari doesn't let you *buy* or *sell* crypto. Instead, it provides you with information to help you *decide* what to buy or sell. It gathers data from various sources – blockchains, exchanges, social media – and presents it in a clear, organized way.  


Instead of sifting through countless websites, whitepapers, and social media feeds, Messari aggregates data from various sources and presents it in an organized and easy-to-understand format.  This includes price data, on-chain metrics, team information, tokenomics, and news.
Essentially, Messari aims to bring institutional-grade research to everyone, helping you understand the fundamentals of different crypto projects.  This is especially helpful as the crypto market is relatively new and often lacks the established research available for traditional investments like stocks.  Understanding [[market capitalization]] and [[trading volume]] are critical for any investor.
