Overview
Surf — AI-powered crypto intelligence for agents and developers
What is Surf?
Surf is the unified crypto data platform for AI agents. One skill, 100+ commands, 14 data domains, one API key — giving your AI agent instant access to market data, on-chain analytics, prediction markets, and more. For natural language queries, the Chat API provides an OpenAI-compatible Responses endpoint powered by the surf-2.0 model family, so you can ask anything about crypto and get AI-synthesized answers with citations.
