ABYSS Index vs Santiment: read the cycle, free and transparent
Santiment is powerful in social metrics, dev activity and on-chain behavior, with a huge catalog and a freemium model (the good stuff is paid). If what you want is to READ THE CYCLE, ABYSS computes the on-chain (MVRV, NUPL) with its own node and derives a 0–1 risk from price; all free and redistributable because the data is ours.

|---|---|---|
| Price for the cycle | ✓ Core free, forever | Freemium (key metrics paid) |
| 0–1 risk index | ✓ Yes (ABYSS Risk) | Not its format |
| Social / dev-activity metrics | Not our focus | Yes, very strong |
| Cycle on-chain (MVRV/NUPL) | Yes, free and no account | Yes (plan-dependent; broader catalog) |
| Formula reproducibility | ✓ Open, versioned formula | Documented methodology; proprietary data and pipeline (not reproducible) |
| Data redistribution | ✓ Own data, free to cite and redistribute | Restrictive license |
| Composite cycle index | ✓ Yes (ABYSS Score) | Individual metrics |

Near tops risk was high; near bottoms, low. In-sample scale (uses the full history); read it alongside other indicators, not as a crystal ball.
In fairness
Where Santiment is better: its social sentiment, dev activity and giant metric catalog are a genuine strength ABYSS doesn't cover. If your analysis lives on social and holder-behavior signals, Santiment is a great tool. ABYSS covers the CYCLE read, free and citable.
