Aside from well-known crypto market tools like Nansen, Dune, DefiLlama, and Parsec, crypto KOL Sergio Gallardo shared 10 relatively niche but equally powerful crypto research tools on his personal social platform. This article summarizes them as follows:
1. EtherDrop Bot (Notification Bot)
This is a custom notification bot similar to Nansen's smart alerts, allowing you to receive timely notifications for free on Telegram about specific wallets, liquidity pools, or NFT collections.

2. Wallet Tracker Discord (Wallet Tracking)
This Discord can track over 500 wallets, including funds, trading platforms, protocol treasuries, founders, and crypto KOL accounts. Click for more information.
3. Tally (Governance Proposal Tracking)
Tally is a DAO operating platform that allows you to stay updated on any governance proposals across different EVM chains.
4. Apophenia's Blog Scrapper (Blog Update Alerts)
This bot sends you a Telegram message whenever a project updates an article on its media/blog, as many projects promote their updates on Twitter only after updating their blogs.
5. Token Unlock Dashboard (Token Unlock Dashboard)
TokenUnlocks is my personal favorite token unlock tracking tool, with a very clean and intuitive dashboard. You can choose to track different projects, and this dashboard provides many details and data about their token economics.
6. OpenBB Terminal (Investment Research Platform)
OpenBB is an investment research application that allows users to access many Bloomberg features for free in a Python-based environment.

7. Eigenphi (MEV and On-Chain Analysis)
Eigenphi is one of my favorite MEV tools, used to track sandwich attacks, flash loans, and identify malicious tokens in websites.
8. ZeroMev (MEV Research Tool)
ZeroMev classifies MEV based on the level of harm to users, distinguishing between front-running and other types of MEV. It can visualize data by wallet or by block category.

9. Coindix (Identifying Yield Opportunities)
This tool monitors over 10,000 vaults across 27 blockchains and allows users to filter and display different tags, such as protocol, blockchain, yield, or TVL.
See the example below: sorting stablecoin yield opportunities by APY, with TVL greater than $1 million.
10. Laevitas (Tracking Derivatives Data)
Laevitas is a data analysis platform, and it might be my favorite application for tracking derivatives and funding rates in cryptocurrency. Its dashboard provides many valuable data points, and I highly recommend checking it out.
Of course, no matter how powerful the tools are, they cannot replace the process of independent research; always remember to DYOR.
