How to Use x402 with Token Metrics: Composer Walkthrough + Copy-Paste Axios/HTTPX Clients

Token Metrics Team
9 min read

What You Will Learn — Two-Paragraph Opener

This tutorial shows you how to use x402 with Token Metrics in two ways. First, we will walk through x402 Composer, where you can run Token Metrics agents, ask questions, and see pay-per-request tool calls stream into a live Feed with zero code. Second, we will give you copy-paste Axios and HTTPX clients that handle the full x402 flow (402 challenge, wallet payment, automatic retry) so you can integrate Token Metrics into your own apps.

Whether you are exploring x402 for the first time or building production agent workflows, this guide has you covered. By the end, you will understand how x402 payments work under the hood and have working code you can ship today. Let's start with the no-code option in Composer.

Start using Token Metrics X402 integration here. https://www.x402scan.com/server/244415a1-d172-4867-ac30-6af563fd4d25 

Part 1: Try x402 + Token Metrics in Composer (No Code Required)

x402 Composer is a playground for AI agents that pay per tool call. You can test Token Metrics endpoints, see live payment settlements, and understand the x402 flow before writing any code.

What Is Composer?

Composer is x402scan's hosted environment for building and using AI agents that pay for external resources via x402. It provides a chat interface, an agent directory, and a real-time Feed showing every tool call and payment across the ecosystem. Token Metrics endpoints are available as tools that agents can call on demand.

Explore Composer: https://x402scan.com/composer

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Follow these steps to run a Token Metrics query and watch the payment happen in real time.

  1. Open the Composer agents directory: Go to https://x402scan.com/composer/agents and browse available agents. Look for agents tagged with "Token Metrics" or "crypto analytics." Or check our our integration here. https://www.x402scan.com/server/244415a1-d172-4867-ac30-6af563fd4d25 
  2. Select an agent: Click into an agent that uses Token Metrics endpoints (for example, a trading signals agent or market intelligence agent). You will see the agent's description, configured tools, and recent activity.
  3. Click "Use Agent": This opens a chat interface where you can run prompts against the agent's configured tools.
  4. Run a query: Type a question that requires calling a Token Metrics endpoint, for example "Give me the latest TM Grade for Ethereum" or "What are the top 5 moonshot tokens right now?" and hit send.
  5. Watch the Feed: As the agent processes your request, it will call the relevant Token Metrics endpoint. Open the Composer Feed (https://x402scan.com/composer/feed) in a new tab to see the tool call appear in real time with payment details (USDC or TMAI amount, timestamp, status).

 

Composer agents directory: Composer Agents page: Each agent shows tool stack, messages, and recent activity.

 

Individual agent page: Agent detail page: View tools, description, and click "Use Agent" to start.

[INSERT SCREENSHOT: Chat interface]

Chat interface: Chat UI: Ask a question like "What are the top trading signals for BTC today?"

[INSERT SCREENSHOT: Composer Feed]

Composer Feed: Live Feed: Each tool call shows the endpoint, payment token, amount, and settlement status.

That is the x402 flow in action. The agent's wallet paid for the API call automatically, the server verified payment, and the data came back. No API keys, no monthly bills, just pay-per-use access.

Key Observations from Composer

  • Tool calls show the exact endpoint called (like /v2/tm-grade or /v2/moonshot-tokens)
  • Payments display in USDC or TMAI with the per-call cost
  • The Feed updates in real time, you can see other agents making calls across the ecosystem
  • You can trace each call back to the agent and message that triggered it
  • This is how agentic commerce works: agents autonomously pay for resources as needed

Part 2: Build Your Own x402 Client (Axios + HTTPX)

Now that you have seen x402 in action, let's build your own client that can call Token Metrics endpoints with automatic payment handling.

How x402 Works (Quick Refresher)

When you make a request with the x-coinbase-402 header, the Token Metrics API returns a 402 Payment Required response with payment instructions (recipient address, amount, chain). Your x402 client reads this challenge, signs a payment transaction with your wallet, submits it to the blockchain, and then retries the original request with proof of payment. The server verifies the settlement and returns the data. The x402-axios and x402 Python libraries handle this flow automatically.

Prerequisites

  • A wallet with a private key (use a testnet wallet for development on Base Sepolia, or a mainnet wallet for production on Base)
  • USDC or TMAI in your wallet (testnet USDC for testing, mainnet tokens for production)
  • Node.js 18+ and npm (for Axios example) or Python 3.9+ (for HTTPX example)
  • Basic familiarity with async/await patterns

Recommended Token Metrics Endpoints for x402

These endpoints are commonly used by agents and developers building on x402. All are pay-per-call with transparent pricing.

Full endpoint list and docs: https://developers.tokenmetrics.com 

Common Errors and How to Fix Them

Here are the most common issues developers encounter with x402 and their solutions.

Error: Payment Failed (402 Still Returned After Retry)

This usually means your wallet does not have enough USDC or TMAI to cover the call, or the payment transaction failed on-chain.

  • Check your wallet balance on Base (use a block explorer or your wallet app)
  • Make sure you are on the correct network (Base mainnet for production, Base Sepolia for testnet)
  • Verify your private key has permission to spend the token (no allowance issues for most x402 flows, but check if using a smart contract wallet)
  • Try a smaller request or switch to a cheaper endpoint to test

Error: Network Timeout

x402 requests take longer than standard API calls because they include a payment transaction. If you see timeouts, increase your client timeout.

  • Set timeout to at least 30 seconds (30000ms in Axios, 30.0 in HTTPX)
  • Check your RPC endpoint is responsive (viem/eth-account uses public RPCs by default, which can be slow)
  • Consider using a dedicated RPC provider (Alchemy, Infura, QuickNode) for faster settlement

Error: 429 Rate Limit Exceeded

Even with pay-per-call, Token Metrics enforces rate limits to prevent abuse. If you hit a 429, back off and retry.

  • Implement exponential backoff (wait 1s, 2s, 4s, etc. between retries)
  • Spread requests over time instead of bursting
  • For high-volume use cases, contact Token Metrics to discuss rate limit increases

Error: Invalid Header or Missing x-coinbase-402

If you forget the x-coinbase-402: true header, the server will treat your request as a standard API call and may return a 401 Unauthorized if no API key is present.

  • Always include x-coinbase-402: true in headers for x402 requests
  • Do not send x-api-key when using x402 (the header is mutually exclusive)
  • Double-check header spelling (it is x-coinbase-402, not x-402 or x-coinbase-payment)

Production Tips

  • Use environment variables for private keys, never hardcode them
  • Set reasonable max_payment limits to avoid overspending (especially with TMAI)
  • Log payment transactions for accounting and debugging
  • Monitor your wallet balance and set up alerts for low funds
  • Test thoroughly on Base Sepolia testnet before going to mainnet
  • Use TMAI for production to get the 10% discount on every call
  • Cache responses when possible to reduce redundant paid calls
  • Implement retry logic with exponential backoff for transient errors

Why This Matters for Agents

Traditional APIs force agents to carry API keys, which creates security risks and requires human intervention for key rotation and billing. With x402, agents can pay for themselves using wallet funds, making them truly autonomous. This unlocks agentic commerce where AI systems compose services on the fly, paying only for what they need without upfront subscriptions or complex auth flows.

For Token Metrics specifically, x402 means agents can pull real-time crypto intelligence (signals, grades, predictions, research) as part of their decision loops. They can chain our endpoints with other x402-enabled tools like Heurist Mesh (on-chain data), Tavily (web search), and Firecrawl (content extraction) to build sophisticated, multi-source analysis workflows. It is HTTP-native payments meeting real-world agent use cases.

FAQs

Can I use the same wallet for multiple agents?

Yes. Each agent (or client instance) can use the same wallet, but be aware of nonce management if making concurrent requests. The x402 libraries handle this automatically.

Do I need to approve token spending before using x402?

No. The x402 payment flow uses direct transfers, not approvals. Your wallet just needs sufficient balance.

Can I see my payment history?

Yes. Check x402scan (https://x402scan.com/composer/feed) for a live feed of all x402 transactions, or view your wallet's transaction history on a Base block explorer.

What if I want to use a different payment token?

Currently x402 with Token Metrics supports USDC and TMAI on Base. To request support for additional tokens, contact Token Metrics.

How do I switch from testnet to mainnet?

Change your viem chain from baseSepolia to base (in Node.js) or update your RPC URL (in Python). Make sure your wallet has mainnet USDC or TMAI.

Can I use x402 in browser-based apps?

Yes, but you will need a browser wallet extension (like MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet) and a frontend-compatible x402 library. The current x402-axios and x402-python libraries are designed for server-side or Node.js environments.

Why x402 Changes the Game

Traditional API access requires upfront subscriptions, fixed rate limits, and key management overhead. x402 flips that model by letting you pay per call with a crypto wallet, with no API keys or monthly commitments. This is especially powerful for AI agents, which need flexible, on-demand access to external data without human intervention.

For Token Metrics, x402 unlocks agentic commerce where agents can autonomously pull crypto intelligence, pay only for what they use, and compose our endpoints with other x402-enabled tools like Heurist Mesh, Tavily, and Firecrawl. It is HTTP-native payments meeting real-world agent workflows.

What is x402?

x402 is an open-source HTTP-native payment protocol developed by Coinbase. It uses the HTTP 402 status code (Payment Required) to enable pay-per-request access to APIs and services. When you make a request with the x-coinbase-402 header, the server returns a payment challenge, your wallet signs and submits payment, and the server fulfills the request once settlement is verified.

The protocol runs on Base and Solana, with USDC and TMAI as the primary payment tokens. x402 is designed for composability, agents can chain multiple paid calls across different providers in a single workflow, paying each service directly without intermediaries. Learn more at the x402 Quickstart for Buyers: https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/x402/docs/quickstart-buyers

FAQs

Do I need an API key to use x402 with Token Metrics?

No. When you set x-coinbase-402: true, your wallet signature replaces API key authentication. Do not send x-api-key in your requests.

Can I use x402 with a free trial or test wallet?

Yes, but you will need testnet USDC or TMAI on Base Sepolia (testnet) for development. Production calls require mainnet tokens.

How do I see my payment history?

Check x402scan for transaction logs and tool call history. Your wallet will also show outgoing USDC/TMAI transactions. Visit https://www.x402scan.com.

What happens if my wallet balance is too low?

The x402 client will return a payment failure before making the API call. Top up your wallet and retry.

Can I use x402 in production apps?

Yes. x402 is live on Base mainnet. Set appropriate spend limits and handle payment errors gracefully in your code.

What Is Uniswap?

Uniswap is a decentralized exchange protocol built on Ethereum that enables token swaps using automated market makers instead of order books. It aims to provide open access to liquidity for traders, developers, and applications through transparent smart contracts.

UNI is the governance token that lets holders vote on protocol upgrades and parameters, aligning incentives across the ecosystem. The protocol is a market leader in decentralized exchange activity with broad integration across wallets and DeFi apps.

Token Metrics AI Analysis for Price Prediction

Token Metrics AI provides comprehensive context on Uniswap's positioning and challenges that inform our price prediction models.

Vision: Uniswap aims to create a fully decentralized and permissionless financial market where anyone can trade or provide liquidity without relying on centralized intermediaries. Its vision emphasizes open access, censorship resistance, and community driven governance.

Problem: Traditional exchanges require trusted intermediaries to match buyers and sellers, creating barriers to access, custody risks, and potential for censorship. In DeFi, the lack of efficient, trustless mechanisms for token swaps limits interoperability and liquidity across applications.

Solution: Uniswap solves this by using smart contracts to create liquidity pools funded by users who earn trading fees in return. The protocol automatically prices assets using a constant product formula, enabling seamless swaps. UNI token holders can participate in governance, influencing parameters like fee structures and protocol upgrades.

Market Analysis: Uniswap operates within the broader DeFi and Ethereum ecosystems, competing with other decentralized exchanges like SushiSwap, Curve, and Balancer. It is a market leader in terms of cumulative trading volume and liquidity depth. Adoption is strengthened by strong developer activity, widespread integration across wallets and dApps, and a large user base.

If you’re seeking an uncomplicated, rules-driven approach to crypto investing that adapts to market conditions, a top crypto index might be worth exploring. These indexes automate the process of capturing upside potential while managing risk during downturns, making crypto investing more accessible for a variety of investor profiles.

What is a Crypto Index?

A crypto index is a systematic, rules-based collection of digital assets that reflects a specific universe—such as the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. It relies on transparent methodologies and scheduled rebalancing to ensure that the composition remains aligned with market dynamics. These indexes aim to provide broad exposure while reducing the need for individual asset management.

How Top Crypto Indexes Function in 2025

Many modern crypto indexes incorporate regime switching mechanisms: during bullish periods, they hold top assets; during bear markets, they shift to stablecoins to mitigate losses. Weekly rebalancing updates the constituents based on current market rankings, and transparency tools such as strategy descriptions, gauges, and transaction logs allow users to verify holdings and changes in real-time.

Benefits of Using a Crypto Index Over DIY Approaches

  • Time efficiency: Automates rebalancing and regime switching, saving manual effort.
  • Lower slippage: Executes large baskets with minimal impact on prices.

Top 100 Crypto Index: What It Is, How It’s Built, and Who It’s For (2025)

Token Metrics Team
6

If you’ve tried to “own the market” in crypto, you’ve felt the pain: chasing listings, juggling wallets, and missing rebalances while prices move. A top 100 crypto index aims to fix that—giving you broad exposure when the market is bullish and standing down when it’s not. Token Metrics Global 100 is our rules-based version of that idea: it holds the top-100 by market cap in bull regimes, moves to stablecoins in bear regimes, and rebalances weekly. You can see every rule, every holding, and every rebalance—then buy the index in ~90 seconds with an embedded on-chain flow.‍ → Join the waitlist to be first to trade TM Global 100.

Why a “Top 100 Crypto Index” Matters in October 2025

The market keeps cycling. New leaders emerge quickly. A “set-and-forget” bag can fall behind, while manual baskets burn hours and rack up slippage. Search interest for crypto index, regime switching, and weekly rebalancing keeps growing because people want a simple, disciplined core that adapts.

A top 100 crypto index is a rules-based basket that tracks the largest 100 crypto assets by market cap, typically rebalanced on a schedule to keep weights aligned with the market. In 2025, that alone isn’t enough. You also need discipline for downtrends. Token Metrics adds a regime-switching layer to move to stablecoins during bear phases—so you can participate in upside and sit out major drawdowns with a consistent, rules-based approach.

How the TM Global 100 Index Works (Plain English)

Regime switching:

  • Bullish: The index holds the top-100 assets by market cap.

The Case for Rules-Based Crypto Indexing After a Volatile Cycle (2025)

Token Metrics Team
5

After a whipsaw year, many investors are asking how to stay exposed to crypto’s upside without riding every drawdown. Rules-based crypto indexing is a simple, disciplined answer: follow a transparent set of rules rather than gut feelings. The Token Metrics Global 100 puts this into practice—own the top-100 in bullish regimes, rotate to stablecoins in bearish regimes, and rebalance weekly. On top of that, you can see what you own in real time with a Holdings Treemap, Table, and Transactions Log. Less second-guessing, more process.

Why Rules-Based Crypto Indexing Matters in October 2025

In a volatile cycle, emotion creeps in: chasing winners late, cutting losers early, or missing re-entry after fear. Rules-based crypto indexing applies consistent criteria—constituent selection, weighting, and rebalancing—so you don’t have to improvise in stress.

For readers comparing crypto index options, think of it as a codified playbook. A rules-based crypto index is a methodology-driven basket that follows predefined signals (e.g., market regime) and maintenance schedules (e.g., weekly rebalancing), aiming for repeatable behavior across cycles.

Rules-based crypto indexing is a systematic approach that tracks a defined universe (e.g., top-100 by market cap) and maintains it on a fixed cadence, with explicit rules for when to hold tokens and when to de-risk into stablecoins.

How the TM Global 100 Index Works

  • Regime switching: When the market signal is bullish, the index holds the top 100 assets by market cap; when bearish, it moves to stablecoins until conditions improve.
  • Weekly rebalancing: Constituents and weights update weekly to reflect the latest market-cap rankings—capturing leadership changes without manual effort.
  • Transparency: A Strategy modal and Gauge → Treemap → Transactions Log show the signal, current mix, and every change recorded.

What you’ll see on launch: Price tile, “tokens: 100,” “rebalances weekly,” and a fast ~90-second Buy flow with fee/slippage previews.

Benefits at a Glance (Why This Beats DIY)

  • Time & operational drag: Skip juggling 20–100 tickers, wallets, and venues.
  • Execution quality: A single indexed flow can help reduce piecemeal slippage and duplicated fees.
  • No missed rotations: Weekly rebalancing and regime switching reduce the cost of being late to trends—or late to de-risk.
  • Always-on visibility: Holdings treemap + table + transactions log remove the black box.
  • Behavioral edge: Clear rules can limit panic sells and FOMO buys during turbulence.
  • Portfolio role: A disciplined core that you can complement with selective satellites.

Crypto Indices - See What You Own: Holdings Treemap, Table, and Transactions Log (2025)

Token Metrics Team

If you’ve ever bought a “basket” of coins and then wondered what you actually hold, you’re not alone. The Token Metrics Global 100 solves that by pairing a rules-based strategy with radical visibility: an interactive holdings treemap, sortable table, and a real-time transactions log—so you can see what you own at all times. This transparency sits on top of a simple idea: a top-100 crypto index when markets are bullish and stablecoins when they’re not, with weekly rebalancing and one-click buy at launch. The result is clarity for hands-off allocators and discipline for active traders—without spreadsheets or manual rebalances.

Why Transparency Matters in October 2025

Today’s crypto investor expects more than a chart and a headline weight. You want to audit your index: which coins, what size, and what changed after each rebalance. That’s exactly why we ship three visibility layers on day one: Gauge → Treemap → Transactions Log—plus a classic holdings table for power users.

In practical terms, a holdings treemap shows proportional weights at a glance, a table lets you sort and export details, and a transactions log chronicles every add/trim/exit during rebalances and regime switches. Together, they answer the search intent behind “crypto index holdings” and “weekly rebalancing” with an immediately scannable source of truth.

How the TM Global 100 Index Works (Plain English)

  • Regime switching: When our market signal is bullish, the index holds the top 100 assets by market cap. When bearish, it exits to stablecoins and waits for a re-entry signal.
  • Weekly rebalancing: We adjust constituents and weights weekly to reflect updated rankings—so the index stays aligned with the market.
  • Transparency: You’ll see a Strategy modal (rules at a glance), a market signal gauge, an interactive Holdings treemap & table, and a Transactions log that records rebalances and regime shifts.

What you’ll see on launch: A price tile, “tokens: 100,” “rebalances weekly,” and a Buy Index flow that can complete in about 90 seconds, end-to-end.

Benefits at a Glance (Why This Beats DIY)

  • Time saved: Skip ranking lists, manual screeners, and cross-exchange rebalances.
  • Lower execution drag: A single indexed flow helps reduce the slippage and fees you’d pay hopping between many tokens.
  • No missed cycles: Weekly rebalances help capture changes in the top-100 while the regime switch avoids guesswork when markets turn.
  • Full visibility: Treemap + table + transactions let you see exactly what changed and why—no black boxes.
  • Rules over vibes: A consistent methodology can reduce emotional decisions during drawdowns and market euphoria.

Crypto Index vs DIY Basket: Time, Slippage, and Missed Rebalances (2025)

Token Metrics Team
5

Building your own crypto basket sounds simple—until you’re juggling 10–50 tickers, spreadsheets, rebalance rules, spreads across chains, and the constant fear of missing regime turns. A crypto index removes that manual grind: TM Global 100 holds the top 100 assets when the market is bullish and moves fully to stablecoins when it’s not, with weekly rebalancing and full transparency of holdings and transactions. One click to buy, zero maintenance to keep up.

Join the waitlist to be first to trade TM Global 100.

Why Indices Matters in October 2025

In 2025, time and execution quality are alpha. Manually maintaining a DIY basket multiplies complexity: fragmented liquidity, multiple wallets, chain fees, and coordination across exchanges—all while markets move. A rules-based index compresses that overhead into a single, auditable product with pre-declared logic and scheduled upkeep.

Definition (snippet-ready): A crypto index is a rules-based basket of digital assets that rebalances on a set schedule and/or when market conditions change, so you don’t have to micromanage individual coins.

Traders searching “DIY crypto basket,” “regime switching,” or “weekly rebalancing” usually want one thing: broad exposure without the constant maintenance and the regret of missed rebalances. That’s the exact problem Token Metrics Global 100 addresses with weekly updates and regime switching to stablecoins when signals turn bearish.

How the TM Global 100 Index Works (Plain English)

  • Regime switching: When signals are bullish, the index holds the top 100 by market cap; when bearish, it exits fully to stablecoins to wait for re-entry.
  • Weekly rebalancing: Aligns weights and constituents with updated rankings; regime changes can also trigger full portfolio shifts.
  • Transparency: Strategy modal explains selection & rebalancing rules; Holdings show a treemap/table; Index Transactions log all changes.

What you’ll see on launch: Price tile, signal gauge, tokens=100, “rebalances weekly,” contract address, and a Buy Index button with a ~90-second live demo flow showcased in launch content.

See the strategy and rules. (TM Global 100 strategy)

Benefits at a Glance (Why This Beats DIY)

  • Time saved: Replace multi-exchange shopping, wallet hops, and manual allocations with one click.
  • Fewer missed rebalances: Weekly cadence + visible transactions log reduce the cost of “I’ll do it tomorrow.”
  • Slippage discipline: Centralized execution with declared slippage/fee previews helps contain surprises vs piecemeal orders.
  • Regime switching: Codified “risk-off” behavior into stablecoins during bears, so you don’t have to white-knuckle exits. (No performance promises.)
  • Transparency: Strategy modal → Holdings treemap/table → Transactions log—see exactly what you hold and when it changed.

Proof cues (What you’ll see): Gauge (market signal) → Treemap (allocations) → Transactions Log → ~90-second Buy flow.

Regime Switching in Crypto: Participate in Upside, Sit Out Drawdowns (2025)

Token Metrics Team
5

Timing crypto cycles is inherently challenging. Volatility in the crypto markets can lead to sharp swings—either capturing gains during bull runs or avoiding deep drawdowns during unfavorable trends. A regime switching crypto index offers a systematic way to adapt to changing market conditions, using rules-based allocations that switch between risk-on assets and stablecoins accordingly. Token Metrics offers tools to help analyze these strategies with transparency and real-time insights.

Why Indices Matter in October 2025

Crypto markets tend to operate in distinct regimes—periods of momentum followed by corrections that can reverse gains quickly. Investors and analysts seeking to implement regime switching or weekly rebalancing frameworks value simplicity and clarity. These approaches help in maintaining discipline, managing risks, and capturing market trends effectively.

Definition of Regime Switching in Crypto

Regime switching in crypto refers to a rules-based investment method that adjusts portfolio exposure based on prevailing market conditions. Typically, this involves rotating into a diversified basket of tokens in bullish phases and shifting into stablecoins during bearish trends, thus managing risk while seeking to ride upward trends.

Why Now: The Rationale for Regime Switching

  • Cycle Asymmetry: Capturing upward trends while limiting downside drawdowns can influence long-term outcomes positively.
  • Operational Efficiency: Automated, rules-based rebalancing reduces errors and slippage tied to manual adjustments across multiple tokens or exchanges.
  • Transparency: Real-time insight into holdings, rebalancing rationale, and transaction history fosters trust and clarity.

How the TM Global 100 Index Works (Plain English)

This index employs regime switching principles: during bullish periods, it holds the top 100 crypto assets by market cap; during bearish times, it exits into stablecoins and waits for buy signals. The index performs weekly rebalancing based on updated rankings, liquidity, and supply metrics. Transparency is maintained through clear strategy rules, gauges, Treemap views, and detailed transaction logs.

Benefits at a Glance (Why This Beats DIY)

  • Rules, not vibes: Automated logic minimizes emotional decision-making.
  • Fewer operational mistakes: Single, streamlined flows replace manual multi-step trades.
  • Discipline in switching: Full rotation into stablecoins at bearish signals reduces hesitation and second-guessing.
  • Cost visibility: Estimated gas, platform fees, and expected minimum value are shown upfront.
  • Full transparency: Holdings treemaps and transaction histories keep you informed.
  • Consistent cadence: Weekly updates ensure alignment with market trends.

FAQs

What is a regime switching crypto index?

A rules-based portfolio that allocates to a diversified token basket during bullish phases and switches to stablecoins during bearish conditions, based on predefined signals. Token Metrics implements this with a top-100 universe and full stablecoin rotation in downturns.

How often does the index rebalance?

It rebalances weekly to reflect changes in rankings and liquidity. Significant regime changes can occur outside the schedule when market signals trigger a switch.

What triggers the move to stablecoins?

A proprietary market signal prompts the index to exit token positions and move into stablecoins during bearish phases, waiting for a bullish signal to re-enter.

Can I fund with USDC or fiat?

Funding occurs via an embedded, self-custodial wallet supporting major chains. USDC payouts are supported when selling. Funding options depend on your wallet and region.

Is the wallet custodial?

No. It is self-custodial, giving you control of keys and funds.

How are fees shown?

Before confirming a trade, estimated gas, platform fee, slippage, and expected minimum value are displayed.

How do I join the waitlist?

Regime Switching in Crypto: Participate in Upside, Sit Out Drawdowns (2025)

Token Metrics Team
5

Timing crypto cycles is inherently challenging. Market volatility can work both ways: investors seek broad upside potential during bullish phases, yet require the discipline to step aside when market trends and liquidity conditions reverse. A regime switching crypto index precisely addresses this need—employing rules-based mechanisms to adjust market exposure during different conditions. Our flagship implementation, Token Metrics Global 100, exemplifies this approach: it dynamically shifts between a top-100 crypto basket during bullish periods and stablecoins during downturns, with weekly rebalancing, transparent holdings, and verifiable transactions. Designed for investors who prefer market exposure without the need to micromanage individual tokens or succumb to emotional biases, this system offers a disciplined approach to crypto participation.

Why Indices Matter in October 2025

Crypto markets tend to operate in distinct regimes—prolonged phases of risk-on momentum followed by swift drawdowns that can negate earlier gains. Those exploring "regime switching," "weekly rebalancing," or "crypto index" strategies seek frameworks that are straightforward, practical, and easy to implement.

Definition (for snippets):

Regime switching in crypto refers to a rules-based portfolio approach that adjusts exposure based on market conditions—rotating between a diversified assortment of tokens in uptrends and moving into stablecoins during declines.

Why now:

  • Cycle asymmetry: Capturing trending phases while minimizing drawdowns can significantly influence long-term performance.
  • Operational burden: Manual rebalancing across multiple tokens increases errors and delays; a standardized, rules-based process reduces these issues.
  • Clarity: Real-time transparency into holdings, rationale, and changes enhances confidence and ease of management.

How the Token Metrics Global 100 Index Works

Regime switching: During bullish periods, the index holds the top-100 cryptocurrencies by market cap across sectors and chains. In bearish conditions, it exits to stablecoins and waits for an upward signal to re-enter.

Weekly rebalancing: The index updates constituent weights based on market-cap rankings and liquidity metrics, adjusting on a set schedule.

Transparency: The index employs defined rules, with visual tools like gauges, treemaps, and logs that allow users to verify holdings and changes.

What you’ll see upon launch:

Price tile, list of 100 tokens, clear indication of weekly rebalancing, and a simplified buy flow supported by a self-custodial wallet. You can review the strategy and rules at a glance.

Benefits at a Glance (Why This Beats DIY)

  • Rules, not vibes: Automated regime logic minimizes emotional trading.
  • Fewer operational mistakes: Single, streamlined process replaces multiple manual trades across platforms.
  • Discipline in switching: Strict rotation into stablecoins during downturn signals eliminates second-guessing.
  • Visible slippage & fees: Estimated gas, platform fee, and minimum expected value are shown before trade confirmation.
  • Full visibility: Interactive holdings treemaps, transaction logs, and real-time data keep you informed.
  • Weekly updates: Regular rebalancing aligns the index with current market conditions.

  2. Find the TM Global 100 index and tap "Join Waitlist."

Top Crypto Prediction Markets: The Complete 2025 Guide to Trading the Future

Token Metrics Team
9

The prediction revolution is transforming crypto investing in 2025. From AI-powered price prediction platforms to blockchain-based event markets, today's tools help investors forecast everything from token prices to election outcomes with unprecedented accuracy.

With billions in trading volume and cutting-edge AI analytics, these platforms are reshaping how we predict, trade, and profit from future events. Whether you're forecasting the next 100x altcoin or betting on real-world outcomes, this comprehensive guide explores the top prediction tools dominating 2025.

Understanding Crypto Prediction Tools vs. Prediction Markets

Before diving in, it's crucial to distinguish between two types of prediction platforms:

  • Crypto Price Prediction Platforms (like Token Metrics) use AI and data analytics to forecast cryptocurrency price movements, identify promising tokens, and generate trading signals.
  • Event Prediction Markets (like Polymarket and Kalshi) are blockchain-powered platforms where users trade on real-world event outcomes—elections, sports, economic indicators, and yes, even crypto prices.

Both serve valuable but different purposes. Let's explore the top tools in each category.

The #1 Crypto Price Prediction Platform

Token Metrics - AI-Powered Crypto Intelligence Leader

Token Metrics stands as the premier AI-driven crypto research and investment platform, scanning over 6,000 tokens daily to provide data-backed predictions and actionable insights.
