Why Use Flowent

The Problem: Fragmentation Fatigue

Consider a developer building an AI agent to analyze Ethereum’s market trends. Without Flowent, their workflow might look like this:

  1. Fetch ETH/USD price from DexScreener’s API.

  2. Pull large transactions (>$1M) from Etherscan.

  3. Scrape Twitter for sentiment using the Twitter API.

  4. Manually align timestamps and resolve conflicts (e.g., a price spike on DexScreener that doesn’t match Coinbase’s data).

  5. Aggregate results into a usable format for the AI model.

This process isn’t just time-consuming—it’s fraught with pain points:

  • Inconsistent Schemas: DexScreener returns prices as { pair: "ETH/USD", price: 3400 }, while Coinbase uses { symbol: "ETH-USD", last: "3400.50" }.

  • Rate Limits: Twitter’s API allows only 500 tweets/month on free tiers, while Etherscan caps at 5 requests/sec.

  • Hidden Costs: Each API call adds up. For example, a trading bot making 10,000 daily requests across 3 APIs could cost $500+/month.

Flowent’s Solution: One Integration to Rule Them All

Flowent replaces this chaos with a single, unified API that abstracts away the complexity of 50+ data sources. Instead of wrestling with multiple integrations, developers send a natural language query like “ETH price with whale transactions and social sentiment” and receive a structured, AI-summarized response in seconds.

Cost Efficiency, Quantified Let’s break down the savings, below is the estimate cost:

Task
Traditional Approach
Flowent

ETH price + sentiment

$0.12 (3 APIs)

$0.04

NFT floor price analysis

$0.08 (2 APIs)

$0.03

DeFi liquidity check

$0.15 (4 APIs)

$0.05

How? Flowent’s AI optimizes queries across sources—for example, fetching prices from the most cost-effective exchange (e.g., Binance instead of Coinbase Pro) and caching frequently accessed data.

Key Features, Explained

  1. Context-Aware Routing

    • For traders: Prioritize low-latency sources like Binance for prices and CoinMetrics for real-time on-chain data.

    • For researchers: Blend Nansen’s institutional insights with Messari’s reports.

    • Example: A query for “institutional ETH accumulation” automatically prioritizes Nansen and Glassnode over retail-focused platforms.

  2. Semantic Caching with Deepseek

    • Flowent uses Deepseek’s embeddings to detect similar queries. For instance:

      • Query 1: “What’s Bitcoin’s price?” → Embedding vector [0.76, -0.12, ...]

      • Query 2: “BTC current value?” → Embedding vector [0.74, -0.11, ...]

    • If the cosine similarity exceeds 95%, Flowent serves the cached response, slashing costs and latency.

  3. Credit-Based Billing

    • 1 credit = 1 data point (e.g., a price, a transaction hash, a sentiment score).

    • Staking $FLWT increases your tier:

      • Free Tier: 1,000 credits/day (500 $FLWT staked).

      • Pro Tier: 50,000 credits/day (5,000 $FLWT staked) + priority support.

Why Developers Love Flowent

  • Speed: Reduce integration time from weeks to hours.

  • Simplicity: No more parsing conflicting JSON schemas.

  • Scalability: Handle 10x more queries without hitting rate limits.

Real-World Impact

We internally tested this tool for an indices summary dashboard development and manage to improve development time by 68% by leveraging unified social + on-chain data.
