Three chains.
One API surface.
Chain data, market data and transactions for Cardano, Bitcoin and Midnight, on one surface.
▸ nexus.btc_address_ordinals address: bc1q…8f4z
Six products on one API
One base URL and one auth header across Cardano, Midnight, and Bitcoin. Each API key is scoped to a single chain and network, and market data, wallet analytics, transaction building, and MCP are add-ons.
Blockchain API
Blocks, txs, addresses & assets
Ten endpoint groups, accounts to governance, plus submit and evaluate.
WebSocket Streaming
Live blocks & txs, pushed to you
Push, not poll: market data on a 10 second cadence, Blueprints with REST backfill.
Transaction Building
Build & submit on-chain
Transfers, staking, and Conway governance built server-side. Unsigned CBOR out; keys never touch Nexus.
DEX Aggregator
Best-price swap routing
Best-price routing across Minswap, WingRiders, Splash, and SaturnSwap. You sign every swap.
MCP Server
Nexus data for AI agents
A hosted MCP endpoint: AI agents query Cardano, Bitcoin, and Midnight with your own key.
Market Data
Prices, pools & tokens
Prices, candles, pools, order books, and NFT sales across all 11 indexed DEXes.
Three chains, one account
Each API key is scoped to one chain and one network. Same base URL, same auth header.
Cardano
The deepest surface: chain data, DEX market data, wallet P&L, transaction building, and WebSocket streaming.

Provider redundancy, aggressive caching, and a unified API surface across every chain we support. Building on Cardano? See the full Cardano API surface.
One endpoint, several upstreams
Every request is served behind Yaci, Koios, Blockfrost, and our own indexers. Per-provider health checks pick a healthy upstream for each call, so a degraded source is routed around instead of reaching your app.
See live provider statusAggressive Caching
Hot blockchain data is served from cache so repeat queries are fast and your provider quotas last.
Usage analytics
Per-key request counts, allowed versus rejected breakdowns, and usage history in the dashboard.
GERO Token Benefits
Hold GERO tokens for discounts and enhanced API limits.
Comprehensive Data
Access blockchain, DeFi, NFT, and market data through unified APIs.
Non-custodial by design
Nexus never holds private keys: transactions are built unsigned and signed client-side. See the privacy policy for how account and usage data is handled.
One platform for every chain and every capability
Market data, wallet analytics, transactions, and WebSocket streaming. Official TypeScript SDK, plain REST for every other language, OpenAPI 3.1 spec for the rest.
// npm install @adlabs/nexus (official SDK, zero runtime dependencies)
import { NexusClient } from "@adlabs/nexus";
const nexus = new NexusClient({ apiKey: process.env.NEXUS_API_KEY! });
// Cardano chain data
const utxos = await nexus.cardano.addresses.utxos("addr1...");
const pool = await nexus.cardano.pools.byId("pool1...");
// Cardano market data (mainnet)
const prices = await nexus.cardano.market.prices();
// Bitcoin and Midnight, same client
const tip = await nexus.bitcoin.chain.tip();
const info = await nexus.midnight.info.get("undeployed");
// Typed end to end: request + response types are generated
// from the live Nexus OpenAPI spec and ship with the package.Why Choose Nexus?
Official TypeScript SDK
npm install @adlabs/nexus: a typed, zero-dependency client for Cardano chain and market data, Bitcoin, and Midnight. Types are generated from the live OpenAPI spec. MIT, open source on GitHub.
Plain REST, any language
HTTPS + an X-Api-Key header is the whole protocol. Works with the HTTP client built into Node, the JDK, Python, Go, Rust, or your shell. No SDK required.
OpenAPI 3.1 spec included
A full machine-readable spec is published at /v3/api-docs and rendered with a live playground at /docs. Generate a typed client for 50+ languages with one openapi-generator command.
Multi-provider failover
Every request is served behind Yaci, Koios, Blockfrost, and our own indexers, with health checks routing around degraded upstreams. When one goes down, your app keeps serving.
One account, every chain
Each API key is scoped to one chain and one network - Cardano, Bitcoin, and Midnight - all under the same base URL and the same Nexus account. One dashboard, one bill, no separate providers to juggle.
Read the full reference
Every endpoint, parameter, and response shape, with a live playground built into each page.
Official TypeScript SDK
@adlabs/nexus on npm: typed, zero dependencies, MIT. Cardano, Bitcoin, and Midnight in one client.

Price Summary
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the Nexus API.
What is Nexus?
Nexus is a managed multi-chain data and transaction API. Each API key is scoped to one chain and one network, and every chain runs on one account, one base URL, and one auth header. On Cardano that surface covers chain data, with add-ons that enable market data across all 11 DEXes, FIFO wallet analytics, and a transaction builder. Live WebSocket streaming is a separate package. Everything is plain REST with an OpenAPI 3.1 spec, so you never have to run blockchain infrastructure yourself.
Which blockchains does Nexus support?
Cardano, Bitcoin, and Midnight are all live today. Cardano has the deepest coverage: chain data, DEX market data, wallet analytics, transaction building, and streaming. Bitcoin covers addresses, blocks, fees, mempool, ordinals inscriptions and runes, and transaction submit. Midnight covers network info, unshielded transaction build and submit, and DUST registration. Each API key is scoped to one chain and one network, so you integrate once and add chains without re-architecting.
How is Nexus different from Blockfrost, Maestro, or Koios?
Those APIs focus on raw Cardano chain queries. Nexus adds a full stack on the same Cardano API surface: DEX market data, FIFO profit-and-loss wallet analytics, and a server-side transaction builder as opt-in add-ons, with live WebSocket streaming as its own package. All of it sits behind multi-provider failover for redundancy and flat, predictable pricing.
How much does Nexus cost?
Nexus uses flat, predictable monthly plans instead of per-call metering, so your bill doesn't spike with traffic. Compare the current tiers in the pricing section above, or sign up to get started.
