Crypto tools that actually improved my workflow vs. ones everyone just talks about
Been in crypto since 2020 and honestly, the tools everyone recommends vs. what I actually use daily are completely different.
Overrated (IMO):
- CoinMarketCap alerts – spams you with noise, most alerts are useless
- Most portfolio trackers – bloated UI, half the features I never touch
- Discord alpha groups – 90% recycled CT screenshots, 10% actual alpha
Underrated / actually useful:
For multi-chain trading: Banana Pro – started as a Telegram sniper bot, evolved into a clean web platform for DCA and limit orders on ETH/Solana. Non-custodial, fast execution, minimal gas optimization. Not flashy, just works.
For on-chain research: DeBank for wallet tracking, but honestly just raw Etherscan/Solscan for deep dives. No tool beats reading contracts directly.
For gas optimization: Blocknative gas estimator (ETH) – way more accurate than MetaMask's default estimates.
For security: Revoke cash – everyone should check their token approvals quarterly. So many hacks from old approvals.
The gap nobody's filled yet: A tool that aggregates Telegram/Discord alpha, filters signal from noise, and presents it clearly. Everything out there is either too manual or misses context.
What's in your actual daily stack? Not the tools you think you should use – the ones you genuinely open every day.
