"I was checking gold prices on one site, Bitcoin on another, and currency rates on a third. Every single day. I'd been doing this for years and I knew there was a product here — one platform that tracked everything a cross-asset investor cares about. But I also wanted a developer API, not just a pretty dashboard. I had the market knowledge. I needed someone who could build the entire thing from scratch — and fast."
Metals, crypto, and currency data lived in separate tools with no unified view — the modern investor who watches gold and Bitcoin had to juggle 3+ platforms daily
The API market was split between Bloomberg at thousands per month and free tiers too limited to build on — the mid-market was wide open
The vision required extraordinary scope: 3 data sources aggregated real-time, 25+ visualization tools, a consumer dashboard, a developer API, widgets, and a brand — from zero
Burnwire designed TroySpot as two products shipped simultaneously: a consumer analytics platform with creative, art-driven tools that no competitor offers, and a developer REST API with tiered pricing for B2B integration. We built the entire data infrastructure, 25+ interactive tools, and the brand identity in 24 days.
Aggregation engine pulling from 3 external APIs: Metals.dev (29 metals + 168 currencies, 2-min refresh), CoinGecko Pro (103+ coins, 2-min refresh), Binance (20 trading pairs). Plus a proprietary Fear & Greed Index calculated from metals momentum, crypto volatility, volume, and Gold/BTC ratio. Pipeline: 310K+ data points per day.
Built features no financial platform has: Sound of Crypto (trade data → ambient audio with mood presets), Crypto Constellation (interactive universe map), Time Machine (replay investments back to 2000), Stack-O-Meter (gold ounces → Teslas, MacBooks, flights to Tokyo).
Interactive API Playground with live responses, code snippet generator (cURL, Python, JavaScript), usage tracking dashboard, multi-section documentation explorer. Designed for the developer who needs to integrate in an afternoon.
Consumer dashboard drives traffic and brand. API drives revenue with tiered pricing. Embeddable widgets let third-party sites become distribution channels. Three monetization vectors from one platform.

Sound of Crypto
Real Binance trade data converted to ambient audio. Mood presets: Zen Garden, Deep Space. Nothing like it exists anywhere.
Crypto Constellation
Canvas-based universe map. Each coin is a star — sized by market cap, colored by performance.
Time Machine
Replay investment decisions back to 2000. What would $10K in Bitcoin vs Gold vs S&P 500 be worth today?
Stack-O-Meter
Gold ounces → real-world equivalents. How many Teslas, MacBooks, or flights to Tokyo?
