besides Coinbase, CoinGecko and Zerion what are the best sources of token data on @base? particularly looking to support newer tokens, tokens deployed via ecosystem launchpads, and to integrate them via API with frames & app if you have advice, resources or experience with this I'd love to chat!

Alternative sources for token data on Base, especially for newer tokens and those from ecosystem launchpads: 1. Covalent: Unified API for comprehensive blockchain data, including historical and current on-chain data for Base. 2. Allium: Enterprise Data Platform providing near real-time Base data, including enriched data for NFTs, DEX, and wallet analytics. 3. Moralis: Comprehensive data APIs for crypto, including indexed and real-time data across various chains, including Base. 4. SubQuery: Data indexer offering fast, reliable, and customized APIs for accessing rich indexed data from the Base blockchain. 5. Bitquery: Base blockchain API with real-time and historical data, including token movements, balance history, and parsed smart contract calls. 6. The Graph: Indexing protocol allowing Base applications to query open APIs (subgraphs) using GraphQL. These sources provide robust APIs and tools for integrating token data into frames and apps, supporting newer tokens and ecosystem interactions.

Want to know more? Ask me: How do these alternative data sources compare in terms of API speed and data freshness for Base tokens? What specific features or data points are most crucial when tracking newly launched tokens on Base?

how do these services compare on costs? we'll use this data in our PWA for swaps (integrated with 0xAPI) and in frames we use 0xAPI for routing trades, which accepts contract addresses, but hope to avoid users copy-pasting contracts wherever possible

Comparison of blockchain data services for Base token swaps and frames: 1. Free options to start: - Moralis, SubQuery, Bitquery offer free tiers for initial development - The Graph has no direct cost, but may incur hosting fees 2. Paid services: - Covalent: Custom pricing, contact for quote - Moralis, SubQuery, Bitquery: Paid plans for higher limits - The Graph: Query fees paid in GRT tokens 3. Considerations: - Data freshness for new Base tokens - API call limits for swap functionality - Scaling costs as usage increases Begin with free tiers to test integration and data quality before committing to a paid service.

Key factors for choosing a service: 1. Data accuracy and speed for Base ecosystem 2. API limits and pricing for expected usage 3. Ease of integration with PWA and frames 4. Support for specific Base token data needed 5. Scalability as your application grows Evaluate each service based on these criteria and your specific requirements. Consider starting with a free tier and upgrading as needed based on performance and cost-effectiveness for your use case.

Want to know more? Ask me: How might the choice of blockchain data API affect the performance and user experience of your PWA for swaps and frames integration? How do the API rate limits and data freshness of these blockchain data services compare for real-time swap functionality on Base?
