FAQ

Frequently asked questions about TokenTide.

Where does the data come from?: Coins and markets come from CoinGecko. TVL data is from DefiLlama. DEX networks and pool search use GeckoTerminal. Chains use ChainList. Wallet balances use Moralis when configured. See Methodology for details.
Do I need an API key?: For basic use (coins, exchanges, TVL, DEX, chains) you can run the app with just JWT_SECRET. For higher rate limits, add COINGECKO_API_KEY. For the Wallet page, add MORALIS_API_KEY. For Google login, add GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET. See API_KEYS.md in the repo.
How do I add coins to my portfolio?: Go to Portfolio, sign in (or use Wallet Connect), then click Add and enter the coin (by name or symbol), amount, and optional purchase price. The app fetches live prices to show value and P&L.
Why is the first load slow in Docker?: In dev mode, Next.js compiles routes on demand. Wait 60+ seconds after the frontend logs "Ready" before opening the app, or refresh if you see a chunk load error. See DOCKER.md for tips.
