cryptotools

According to CoinMarketCap (CMC), there are over 10,000 coins and tokens available to trade in different markets worldwide. Among them, we can find all kinds of things, from old-established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Obyte to experimental DeFi platforms and memecoins. However, you might not know that, in addition to a vast array of tokens, there’s also a diverse selection of free crypto-related tools — ranging from practical to quirky and entertaining.
CMC and CoinGecko are, for instance, two quite popular and useful crypto tools, but they’re far from being the only ones. We can discover some interesting things if we just look around a bit. Let’s see some platforms in this category.
When Lambo?
Memecoins are quite the thing now, but the crypto community always had its own internal memes and jokes without related tokens. “When Lambo” is an old one and a very popular one too. It implies a momentous question: when will we be able to afford an expensive Lamborghini car with our current crypto holdings? It’s known that prices change rapidly in the crypto space, so can you maybe get richer tomorrow with the same number of coins? We can dream, at least.
“When Lambo” is so widespread around here that some years ago CMC changed all the prices from USD to LAMBOs in April’s Fools. And the question has its own calculator, to help you find out once and for all how much of a Lambo you can buy with your current holdings in different coins. The site Crypto to Lambo allows you to type the amount, choose between 100 coins and three Lamborghini models, and calculate, well, when Lambo?
The results will include what Lambo you can buy with your coins (at least a toy Lambo?), how many more tokens you need to buy it, the needed price per coin you’ll need to afford it, and the current percentage you have in your wallet. It’ll also lead you to trade on the exchanges Binance or Bitvavo, but that’s an additional option. Do your own research first!
Wallet Scrutiny
Cryptocurrencies are mostly decentralized, which means you have full control over your holdings if you have a private key. But wait a second, because there might be a trick there. The coins and their ledger are decentralized, yes, but the wallet you use to interact with crypto networks can be a completely different story. Wallets are often offered by middlemen (companies and developer teams), who generally have good intentions — but that’s not always the case.
Some awful things (backdoors and other traps) could be hidden in their codes, beyond what we can see. Even if the wallets are open-source software, which means anyone can check their codes, not everyone knows how to. And worse: cybercriminals are designing fake wallets with the same name and branding as legitimate ones, aiming to trick users into downloading this malicious software from official app stores to steal their private keys.
Now, of course, there’s a way to avoid these bad scenarios, and we have several easy and free tools available for it. WalletScrunity is one of them, focused primarily on Bitcoin wallets, but basic information about others is available too.
On this site, anyone can just type the name of their preferred wallet (software or hardware) and discover if it passed the tests and questions from their developers. Among those tests, they verify who’s the team behind the brand, if it’s open-source or not, if it’s non-custodial (offer private keys) or not, and if it’s the original product. They also offer safe links to download or buy the correct version.
Crypto Bubbles
With all their detailed data and long lists, sites to check cryptocurrency market caps, like CMC and CoinGecko, can be a tad overwhelming for beginners. Crypto Bubbles offers a more visual, dynamic experience to check the same data, using colorful bubbles and user-friendly interfaces to do it. The first thing you’ll see on this site is a lot of crypto logos and tickers floating around in bubbles of different sizes and colors, indeed.
Green bubbles mean price increases — the larger the bubble, the higher the percentage change or market cap. Red bubbles imply negative percentages, and they also change in size, depending on the figures. It’s possible to order them per period (hour, day, week, month, year) or market cap size. In the Settings, they’ll let you change the currency for the prices (USD, EUR, CAD, etc.), languages, colors, and watchlists.
If you click a bubble, more specific data, charts, and links about that currency will appear, summed up in a very graphical manner. Below the bubbles, a more traditional list of coins is also available to order by market cap, price, volume, or time changes. Or you can use their search bar to find your favorite coins. An app for iOS and Android can be downloaded too.
TxCity
Network explorers aren’t exactly the most colorful and user-friendly thing in the world. And let’s not talk about those long, incomprehensible alphanumeric strings that represent transactions and addresses. TxCity was created to see crypto transactions in a new, clearer light. By representing each transaction as a person attempting to board a bus — where buses symbolize blocks in a blockchain — this platform offers users a unique, real-time perspective on the available crypto networks.
Obviously, those networks are only blockchains — they are the kind of networks that have buses and bus drivers. This approach demystifies on-chain data, effectively converting mere transactional networks into visual ecosystems.
By using TxCity, anyone can visualize transactions across multiple networks, including $BTC , $ETH , $BCH , Monero, and Litecoin. The platform also plans to introduce features like bridge visualization between Ethereum and LUKSO, providing users with a real-time experience of their cross-chain transactions. Additionally, TxCity aims to represent wallets as characters or avatars, simplifying user interactions.
To begin using TxCity, simply visit their website and select the chain you wish to explore. The platform will display live transactions as animated characters attempting to board buses, offering an engaging way to observe how transactions are processed and included in blocks. This visual representation not only makes it easier to understand crypto operations but also serves as an educational tool for those new to this space.
Order a Pizza in Obyte
Did you know you can order a Hawaiian, Pepperoni, or Mexican pizza using an Obyte chatbot? Well, at least as a role-play! The Obyte Testnet Wallet offers a fun and risk-free way to explore cryptocurrency transactions, including interacting with chatbots. By following simple steps, users can simulate making a purchase and experience how payments work within the Obyte ecosystem. It’s an engaging way to see how digital payments function while learning about Obyte’s capabilities in a relaxed and playful environment.
A testnet is a duplicate version of a crypto network designed for learning, development, and testing. Unlike the mainnet, where transactions involve real assets, the testnet allows users to practice without any financial risk. The Obyte Testnet Wallet is a safe space where developers can refine their applications and everyday users can experiment with different features. To start, users can claim free testnet coins — tokens without market value — to send transactions, explore smart contracts, and even test advanced security measures like two-factor authentication (2FA) or multi-signature accounts.
Beyond simulated pizza purchases, the testnet wallet offers a variety of features to explore. Users can try chatbots from the Bot Store, set up conditional payments, and experiment with wallet settings. It’s also possible to add new devices and test secure account recovery options. Everything is recorded on the testnet explorer, providing insights into how transactions are processed. Since no real money is involved, users can experiment freely and gain confidence before switching to the actual Obyte wallet.

Binance Wallet has announced a series of new features designed to enhance user experience and expand its functionality. The latest updates, shared on X, include the ability to access DeFi pools directly from token detail pages, making it easier for users to engage with decentralized finance activities without navigating away from their main interface.
Additionally, the wallet now allows users to spot meme coins with an RWA paired token icon, providing clearer identification of real-world asset-backed tokens and simplifying the process of recognizing and trading these assets. The update also introduces the ability to create and back up seed phrase wallets on the Extension, offering improved security and recovery options for users managing their private keys.
Another significant enhancement is the ability to use domain names for transfers on both Ethereum (ETH) and Binance Smart Chain (BSC), streamlining the transaction process by allowing users to send assets using human-readable addresses instead of complex wallet addresses. The platform also added tax allocation views for select tokens such as Flap and Four meme tokens, giving users better transparency into their holdings and tax implications.
Finally, Binance Wallet now tracks Securities Sma, providing users with more comprehensive insights into their investment portfolios across multiple asset classes. These new features aim to improve usability, security, and transparency for users managing digital assets through Binance Wallet. More details can be found in the official Binance Square post. #BinanceWallet #DeFi #CryptoTools
