Practical overview
When it fits
Use it to inspect price differences across markets when you can configure and run a Node.js project locally.
Who it is for
- Developers who want to run a local cryptocurrency market-comparison application.
- People exploring potential price differences across configured cryptocurrency markets.
Documented uses
- Collect and compare cryptocurrency prices from configured markets.
- Calculate price ratios between the highest- and lowest-priced markets for a coin.
- Review additional combinations of market pairs.
Requirements & limits
The documented use is a local Node.js application. The repository identifies its license as GPL-3.0.
- The README requires Node.js version 8 or later and npm dependency installation.
- Market configuration is edited in
settings.jsby adding or removing market objects. - The README says fees were a roadmap item, so its described price-ratio calculation should not be treated as a fee-adjusted profit estimate.
- The maintainer says the trading-bot code is private; the public project is the calculator and analysis tool.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
