Surf

Description

Surf is an AI intelligence layer for open financial markets, focused on crypto and expanding into equities. It is built on a unified crypto data stack covering 40+ chains, real-time prices, social sentiment, prediction markets, technical indicators, on-chain forensics, and VC activity, and gives users several ways to put that data to work.

Surf Chat answers questions about crypto with two modes: Instant Research returns live answers in seconds for prices, metrics, and quick comparisons, while Deep Research runs a structured, multi-round investigation and produces a decision-ready report with findings, risks, counterarguments, and citations. Cryptopedia profiles individual projects across their full lifecycle, and Crypto Pulse surfaces market-moving news and events as concise AI briefings.

For builders, Surf Studio is a vibe-coding platform that turns plain-language descriptions into live crypto websites and dashboards, and Surf Skill plugs Surf's data directly into AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. A developer platform exposes 106 API operations and 100+ query-ready on-chain tables through a REST API, agent skill, CLI, or MCP server.

Surf offers a free tier plus Pro and Max paid plans, with annual billing and API credit options for teams and businesses.
