Overview
Santiment Sentiment Analysis is a chart page that tracks how much people talk about ADA online, whether that talk leans positive or negative, and how it lines up with price and wallet activity. Traders, researchers, and curious holders use it to check whether a price move comes with a matching rise in attention and network use. The page is the Cardano view of Sanbase, the analytics app from Santiment, a crypto data company that tracks blockchains, social media, and software development1. Opening it lands on the Sanbase Charts tool set to ADA, with metrics grouped under headings such as Financial, Social, On-chain, and Derivatives2.
Key Features
- A read on crowd mood. Santiment Sentiment Analysis scores ADA mentions as positive or negative with a machine-learning model trained on more than 1.6 million labelled tweets, and separately as bullish or bearish, meaning whether people expect prices to rise or fall3.
- Talk broken out by where it happens. Santiment measures social dominance, the share of crypto discussion that mentions an asset, separately for X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, Telegram, YouTube, BitcoinTalk, and 4chan, and as a combined total4.
- A plain count of how loud the conversation is. Social volume counts the posts and messages that mention ADA at least once, so one message repeating the word ten times still counts as one5.
- Wallet activity beside the chatter. Daily active addresses counts the distinct wallet addresses that sent or received ADA on a given day, and Santiment lists this metric as free to access6.
- Alerts on the numbers you follow. Watch and Add alert buttons on the ADA page let signed-in users track the asset and set up alerts on its metrics2.
What to Expect
Santiment Sentiment Analysis opens on an ADA price chart with a panel of metrics you can layer on top2. Adding a sentiment or social volume line next to price shows whether a spike in discussion came before, during, or after a price move. A Santiment write-up on Cardano in Sanbase Insights reads the numbers this way, pairing a jump in social dominance with a rise in daily active addresses7.
Casual visitors can explore the charts on the free Sanbase plan, which shows delayed data and allows only a few alerts8. Paid Sanbase plans add present-day data, full history, and more alerts, and the top tier includes full access to Santiment's API, a way for software to request data directly. A free trial lets visitors test the paid features before paying8.
Developers and analysts can pull the same Cardano metrics into their own tools. Alongside the API, Santiment offers Santiment Queries, which lets users query its database with SQL, a standard language for asking databases for data, and a Google Sheets add-on1. The Santiment Academy explains how the sentiment metrics are calculated and notes that they are recalculated when Santiment updates its labels, so past values can change3.
