Decks · Crypto
How a crypto deck is put together in the studio. Prices come from public exchange feeds, so there is no key and no account.
Works in the browser too. The studio on this site can build a crypto deck. The free app runs one sample crypto deck; making and editing your own decks needs Deck.
STEP 1 — BUILD A COMPONENT
Each crypto component has a settlement currency, the exchanges it reads, and one of four kinds.
USD, USDT, USDC, BTC or KRW. The same coin trades at a different price in each, and KRW prices often sit above the rest. The exchange list follows the currency you pick.
Five are included and you choose which. Five more cost $10 a year, for ten in all.
Holdings are the coins you own, typed in once — we never read your exchange account. Picked by hand is any coin you name.
The top N in a category such as Layer 1, DeFi or Meme, ranked by dollar volume or change. It refills as the day changes.
Up to three conditions, and a coin must meet all of them.
A rule holds up to three conditions, and a coin must meet all of them — for
example 24h change > +5% and dollar volume above 10M USD. For
either-or, make a second component and tick both into the deck. Stablecoins sit at $1 and top
every volume list, so leaders and rules leave them out unless you include them.
STEP 2 — ADD IT TO A DECK
Edit a component and every deck that uses it changes with it.
A deck is every component you tick. A coin that comes in twice is shown once.
Each deck has an Alerts tab. A coin with an alert stays on the line even when a rule drops it.
The free app runs one sample crypto deck. Making and editing your own decks needs Deck.
STEP 3 — PUT THE DECK ON A LINE
Up to two tickers, one per monitor. Each line carries one deck.
It shows the deck name and the market status. A crypto line shows 24/7.
A news deck has no Alerts tab, only a keyword filter, and it takes a line of its own.
Position, speed, font, up/down colours, background, lines and mouse. By default the mouse passes through; with Take, pointing stops the line, the wheel scrolls it and a click opens a symbol card.
WORTH KNOWING
Before you save, the studio shows how long one pass of the line takes at your speed.
Markets trade around the clock, so an alert can fire at any hour.
Alerts go out from the app on your computer, so the app must be running.
SMALLER QUESTIONS
Exchanges don’t share a category list, so the app takes categories such as Layer 1, DeFi or Meme from a market-cap data service it already calls.
Every deck that uses the component updates. The exchange list is asked again for the new currency.
