Many already know about DeFiLlama and Etherscan. To get ahead of the market, you need tools that give you a competitive edge.

Here are 5 lesser-known cryptocurrency research tools that will help you uncover alpha before everyone else.

1. Artemis – Monitor L1 Data

Artemis allows you to monitor:

• Developer activity on major blockchains;
• How many addresses interact with DApps;
• How daily transaction counts change over time on-chain;

I use Artemis to identify which chains are gaining popularity among developers.

2. CoinMarketCal – Crypto Asset Calendar

On CoinMarketCal, you can find some of the most important events in crypto—from conferences and AMAs to new product launches.

You can also sort all these events by date and importance.

3. Scope Protocol – Track Whale Wallets

The best free alternative to Nansen. With Scope, you can see in real-time what whales and VCs are doing.

For those interested in monitoring hacker activities, Scope also provides a dedicated dashboard.

4. Cryptowatch

A great tool for DeFi "farmers." I frequently use it to determine the correlation between two tokens.

When providing liquidity, impermanent loss depends on how much the prices of your deposited assets diverge.

High correlation → Lower impermanent loss.

5. Exponential DeFi

An investment platform that simplifies the process of finding yield opportunities.

There are already many apps that do this, but Exponential also provides a risk assessment for each opportunity. More importantly, it shows exactly where the yield comes from.
