At LI.FI, we’re proud to be embedded in the core routing of 1,000+ enterprise partners. These include products that serve millions of users across their everyday crypto workflows - from leading wallets like Phantom, MetaMask, Ledger, Rabby, and Binance Web3 Wallet, to go-to value-transfer applications like Jumper, native bridge and swap interfaces across ecosystems like Arbitrum, super apps like Base App, and core DeFi interfaces like Ethena and Pendle.

Together, these products are responsible for a significant share of liquidity movement across the blockchain ecosystem, and LI.FI powers the routing infrastructure behind them.

To deliver the best available execution for every transaction, LI.FI aggregates and orchestrates liquidity from across the blockchain industry. For every quote, our infrastructure compares routes across a wide range of liquidity sources, including bridges, DEXs, meta-aggregators, and intent-based protocols, across 40+ blockchains.

At LI.FI’s scale, this becomes a massive real-time data problem. Our infrastructure processes hundreds of thousands of quote requests per minute and around one billion individual token price updates every month.

And every part of that system depends on one foundational input: accurate token pricing.

That is why we’re releasing an upgrade to LI.FI’s Token Service – the core pricing, discovery, and classification engine that powers every quote across LI.FI’s infrastructure.

What we upgraded

The scope of this upgrade includes four key improvements to LI.FI’s Token Service:

CoinGecko as a primary pricing data layer
LI.FI has integrated CoinGecko’s API as a primary data source for token prices, metadata, market data, and onchain token discovery across supported blockchains.

8-tier token bucketing system
Tokens are dynamically classified based on trading activity, volatility, and user demand, with each tier receiving an update frequency matched to its actual usage profile.

Optimized API usage at scale
By combining WebSocket streams, batched REST calls, and tiered refresh cadences, the upgraded token service can process large volumes of token price updates while significantly reducing unnecessary API calls. These optimizations allow LI.FI to process approximately one billion token price updates per month while using 80% fewer API calls than a uniform polling approach, keeping API costs efficient at enterprise scale without compromising on price freshness.

Provider-agnostic oracle adapter architecture
CoinGecko is integrated through LI.FI’s standardized oracle adapter layer, allowing the token service to support fallback logic, circuit breakers, and additional providers without changing the downstream quote infrastructure.

What this means for integrators and quote reliability

Expanded token coverage across chains
LI.FI’s Token Service now supports pricing for more than 2 million assets across 40+ blockchains, giving integrators broader coverage across both major tokens and the long tail of onchain assets.

Automated token discovery
New and previously unsupported assets can be detected, classified, and added to the token service automatically as activity appears across supported networks.

Real-time pricing for high-activity assets
Frequently traded and volatile tokens now receive second-by-second price updates through WebSocket streams, improving quote accuracy where price freshness matters most.

Improved pricing resilience
The upgraded architecture uses standardized oracle adapters, fallback logic, and circuit breakers to reduce dependency risk and keep pricing reliable under production load.

Better downstream quote quality
More accurate and fresher token prices improve route comparison, slippage estimates, route ranking, and execution quality across every application building on LI.FI.

The result is a more accurate, more efficient, and more scalable pricing engine for every developer building on LI.FI.

As the number of assets, blockchains, liquidity venues, and execution mechanisms continues to grow, accurate token pricing becomes even more important for best-price execution. This upgrade gives LI.FI the foundation to support that growth, and we will keep upgrading the infrastructure that makes onchain liquidity accessible, at scale, through one integration.
