We are excited to inform you that CoinGecko has integrated KyberWidget, to allow visitors to exchange tokens directly in the site. CoinGecko is a major cryptocurrency data aggregator site with millions of users worldwide.

At Kyber, we are working on enabling decentralized token swaps to happen in as many convenient interfaces as possible. This token swap technology is integrated into and utilized by major wallets, including MyEtherWallet, imToken, Trust Wallet and Coinbase Wallet.

The increasing prominence of cryptocurrencies has made data aggregators indispensable and CoinGecko is the first of a new class of integrations.

The team at CoinGecko is passionate about helping crypto users understand factors that drive the market and this motivated CoinGecko to focus on providing comprehensive and fundamental analyses which include reviewing community size and activities, open-source code development, major events, and on-chain metrics, on top of tracking price, volume and market capitalization. In addition to the standard features, CoinGecko also has several unique propositions, including their own ranking system known as Gecko Ranking , Compare feature, and All-Time-High charts which are very relevant for everyone to monitor the performance of cryptocurrencies.

We know that many members in our community love using CoinGecko, so we encourage you to check them out, if you have not already done so!

How Does It Work?

As a simple illustration, a user can buy selected tokens on CoinGecko through Kyber in 3 steps, as shown below:

Decide on the amount to purchase Confirm on transaction Broadcast transaction

Making transactions seamless and secure without compromising on user experience is a key proposition of this integration. As soon as the token pair and the amount to exchange are indicated, a user just needs to unlock his or her wallet to approve the transaction. With the KyberWidget, users can confidently exchange, as each transaction is either executed or reverted should the indicated rate becomes invalid due to changes in market conditions.

KyberWidget

The KyberWidget is designed to enable quick transactions of Ether and ERC20 tokens on websites, thereby enabling users to execute basic token exchange functions without affecting the user experience of the website. There is no need for users to register prior to using the service, and the widget allows users the flexibility to swap directly from different wallets (e.g. keystore, Trezor, Ledger, private key, and MetaMask).
