How D’CENT Empowers 700K Hardware Wallets with OnChain Utility

D’CENT is a biometric hardware wallet trusted by over 700,000 users worldwide. Unlike traditional cold-storage wallets, D’CENT combines hardware-level security with seamless on-chain functionality, allowing users to store, manage, and interact with their crypto assets within a single interface. It bridges the gap between self-custody and usability, enabling secure participation in staking, swaps, and other DeFi activities.

Through its integration with CoinGecko API, D’CENT delivers accurate, real-time market data directly within its wallet ecosystem, helping users make confident, data-driven decisions.

Key Metrics At A Glance

• With the integration of CoinGecko API, D’CENT wallet now supports 4,600+ crypto assets across 85+ blockchain networks, delivering a  multi-chain wallet experience.

• This contributed to D’CENT wallet’s user growth to 700,000+ users worldwide as of 2025.

• By integrating reliable crypto market data and asset discovery data from CoinGecko API, D’CENT Wallet has seen increase in user activity and engagement across its core features, such as price checks, watchlist additions, and swap activities.

The Challenge: Balancing Security and On-Chain Utility

Hardware wallets are trusted for their unmatched security, but they’ve traditionally been designed only for asset storage, and not active participation in Web3. While DeFi and mobile wallets allow users to swap, stake, and trade easily, they expose assets to higher risk. This left a gap for users who wanted both hardware-level protection with full on-chain utility.

The D’CENT team set out to create a secure hardware wallet that enables users to manage, trade, and explore DeFi directly from the device, without compromising self-custody. To achieve this, the product needed a reliable data infrastructure that could deliver real-time pricing and historical market data across thousands of crypto assets and networks. Every wallet action, such as portfolio updates, swaps, or staking — depends on accurate market information to operate reliably.

How D'CENT Wallet Uses CoinGecko API

To implement this vision, D’CENT integrated CoinGecko API’s market and pricing data into its wallet ecosystem. CoinGecko API’s data delivers the breadth, accuracy, and reliability needed to power portfolio management, swap, and price discovery features that help users navigate the Web3 market with greater insight.

Real-time Portfolio & Swap Data

D'CENT uses a combination of CoinGecko API’s /simple/price and /market_chart endpoint to fetch live prices & chart data of 4,600+ crypto assets across 85+ networks. This allows users to see the real-time and historical value of their assets in their portfolio and get accurate quotes for multi-chain swaps.

Coins & Tokens Discovery

To help users stay ahead of the market, D'CENT leverages the /coins/markets endpoint. This endpoint powers market and asset discovery, providing users with live prices, market cap and price movements at a glance.

Business and User Outcomes

CoinGecko API now forms a core part of D’CENT’s product infrastructure, powering accurate and transparent market data throughout the wallet’s interface. Users can now track performance, explore new assets, and participate in DeFi activities with the security of a hardware wallet.

Since integrating CoinGecko API, D’CENT Wallet has seen measurable improvements in user activity and trust. This is reflected in higher engagement across the wallet’s core features, such as price checks, watchlist additions, and swap activities. During periods of high market volatility, users are empowered to make faster, more informed decisions, solidifying D'CENT's reputation as a reliable DeFi wallet.

“CoinGecko’s data helps us give users the most accurate and up-to-date market information right inside the wallet. It’s become an important part of how we make on-chain activity easier and more intuitive for everyone.”

What’s Next On The Roadmap?

D’CENT is rapidly evolving beyond traditional wallet functions to create a more dynamic on-chain experience. The team is currently developing D’CENT Beam, a new gateway that will allow users to access on-chain financial activities and crypto investment opportunities directly within their wallet.

As part of this next phase, D’CENT is also preparing a new hardware wallet that removes current usability barriers, making it even more intuitive for everyday users. These initiatives form the foundation of the D’CENT 2.0 roadmap, which aims to transform the wallet from a secure storage tool into a trusted financial gateway for the next generation of Web3 investors.
