Glassnode tells you what's happening on-chain. QuantForge trades on it.
Glassnode is the leading on-chain analytics platform providing NUPL, SOPR, exchange flows, active addresses, and 200+ metrics for Bitcoin and Ethereum. Used by institutional investors for macro cycle analysis — but data only, no execution.

Glassnode shows NUPL entering euphoria. QuantForge detects it, adjusts position sizing across all bots, and applies risk limits. Data becomes action.
NUPL cycle filter, stablecoin supply momentum, exchange flow momentum, on-chain composite — all backtested and validated across 5-year regime periods.
On-chain signals feed into the same risk framework as momentum, mean reversion, derivatives, and macro strategies. Unified portfolio view.
Glassnode Pro costs $800/mo for full API access. QuantForge includes on-chain data in every plan, sourced from multiple providers.
Far deeper on-chain coverage: entity clustering, miner metrics, age bands, fee analysis, and custom Workbench formulas. QuantForge covers the top 10-15.
Weekly reports, market intelligence, and institutional dashboards used by hedge funds and family offices worldwide.
Workbench lets you create custom on-chain metrics with formula-based combinations. QuantForge uses pre-built indicators only.
On-chain data back to Bitcoin genesis block. QuantForge on-chain data depends on Coinglass API coverage (~6 months for some metrics).
Glassnode is the gold standard for on-chain research and institutional reporting. QuantForge is where that research becomes action — automated strategies, risk management, and AI-powered execution. Use both if on-chain data is central to your thesis.
