About Kryptonews
A crypto newspaper that prints itself every two minutes.
What it is
Kryptonews is a free web application that brings together live prices for the 100 largest cryptocurrencies and headlines from English- and French-language crypto newsrooms. It is designed like a broadsheet: a front page, a market ledger, a news wire and a scrapbook of clippings.
Where the data comes from
Prices, market capitalisation, volume, 1h/24h/7d change, 7-day sparklines and historical charts come from the CoinGecko API. Headlines come from the public RSS feeds of each newsroom: Kryptonews shows the title, a short excerpt and a link to the original article, which remains the property of its publisher.
Publishing rhythm
Prices: every 2 minutes. Exchange rates (more than 50 currencies): every 30 minutes. News feeds: every 10 minutes. Headlines older than 45 days are deleted automatically (clippings keep their own copy).
Privacy by design
No ads, no analytics, no tracking cookies. Fonts and images are served from our own server, so your browser never contacts third parties. Accounts only store what is needed to run them, and you can export or delete your data at any time.
History
Kryptonews started in 2023 as a group project in the Epitech MSc programme, by Maxence Bonnici, Maxence Laporte, Matéo Salvy, Meriem Boussaid and Federico Suarez. Version 2 (2026) is a complete redesign and rewrite by Maxence Bonnici: new stack, new data provider, bilingual, accessible and self-hosted. Like a printed daily, the masthead shows the volume (II, the second edition) and the issue number, which grows by one every day since the first edition on 1 December 2023. mbonnici.fr · GitHub
Under the hood
Next.js and React for the newspaper, Node.js with Express for the API, MariaDB for storage, all running in Docker containers on a self-hosted server in France.
