Block Lottos vs CoinGecko
Block Lottos runs on-chain lottery draws on Polygon and Base, and its public, keyless API exposes both the lottery side (live jackpot totals, draw stats, ticket-purchase transaction building, wallet ticket/prize lookups, and cryptographic draw proofs) and an advertising side for buying banner placements paid in USDC. Lottery tickets cost 10 POL on Polygon or 1 USDC on Base, and every response is plain JSON per its published OpenAPI spec, which also feeds an ai-plugin.json manifest for agent discovery.
CoinGecko is one of the largest independent crypto data aggregators, tracking price, market cap, volume, and metadata for 17,000+ coins across 1,000+ exchanges without requiring registration for its free public endpoint. A Demo API key unlocks slightly higher limits, while paid Pro plans add exchange order-book data, NFT floor prices, and on-chain DEX data through the same JSON interface.
