Gate Info Coincompare

Overview

gate-info-coincompare runs a multi-coin comparison playbook using the CoinGecko /coins/markets batch endpoint. It fetches a consistent metric set for N coins in one call and renders a normalized comparison table. Standalone, tool-agnostic rewrite of the upstream gate-info-coincompare skill.

When to Use

• "Compare LINK, ARB, OP"
• "Which of these 3 coins has the best momentum"
• "Side-by-side market structure for [coin A] vs [coin B]"

When NOT to Use

• Single-coin deep dive — use gate-info-coinanalysis.
• Whole-market snapshot — use gate-info-marketoverview.
• DeFi protocol comparison (TVL/yields) — use gate-info-defianalysis.

Workflow

Step 1 — Resolve ids, then batch fetch

# Get ids once
curl -s "https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/search?query=chainlink" | jq -r '.coins[0].id'
curl -s "https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/search?query=arbitrum"  | jq -r '.coins[0].id'
curl -s "https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/search?query=optimism"  | jq -r '.coins[0].id'

Step 2 — Batch market data

curl -s "https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/coins/markets?vs_currency=usd&ids=chainlink,arbitrum,optimism&order=market_cap_desc&per_page=50&page=1" \
  | jq '.[] | {id, price: .current_price, change_24h: .price_change_percentage_24h, change_7d: .price_change_percentage_7d_in_currency, mcap: .market_cap, volume: .total_volume, rank: .market_cap_rank}'

Step 3 — Normalize and compare

Render a table keyed on the comparison question (momentum → 24h/7d change; structure → mcap/volume/rank). Flag missing rows.

Step 4 — Synthesize

## Comparison: [coin A] vs [coin B] vs [coin C]
### Table
| Metric | A | B | C |
| Price | | | |
| 24h % | | | |
| 7d % | | | |
| MCap | | | |
| Rank | | | |
### Read
- 2–4 sentences on what the comparison shows relative to the user's question.
### Risks / Caveats
- Same vs-currency and snapshot time for all rows (single call guarantees this).
### Sources
- CoinGecko /coins/markets?ids=...

Anti-Rationalization Table

Code Example

Batch-fetch three coins and emit a momentum-sorted table:

curl -s "https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/coins/markets?vs_currency=usd&ids=chainlink,arbitrum,optimism&order=market_cap_desc" \
  | jq -r '.[] | "\(.symbol)\t\(.price_change_percentage_24h)\t\(.market_cap)"'
# → LINK  2.1   1.2e10
# → ARB  -0.8   3.4e9
# → OP    1.3   2.1e9

Verification

• All compared coins fetched in a single /coins/markets call (same snapshot).
• Metric set identical across rows.
• Missing coins flagged, not silently dropped.
• Output follows the Comparison template (Table / Read / Risks / Sources).
