AnnouncementAnnouncing Our System Design Partnership With IOSG - AI Native Venture Capital Connecting Western Technology and Asian Finance.
Web3 fund IOSG seamlessly integrated Surf into their existing AI research agent to unlock five critical data categories—including comprehensive VC portfolios and social mindshare—through a single, agent-friendly API. This integration replaced multiple specialized subscriptions, allowing IOSG's internal AI to automatically pull and synthesize multi-faceted crypto data for highly efficient daily research.
Introducing Research 2.0—our most comprehensive research agent yet.
Research 2.0 is a full rebuild of Surf's Research agent — overall pass rate nearly doubled, hallucination rate dropped 4x, and the agent now covers prediction markets, institutional capital flows, DeFi, and Hyperliquid data that v1.5 was completely blind to. The result: answers you can trust and act on without verifying, across questions you couldn't ask before.

Cryptopedia Renovation: Introducing Signal, and How to Use It to Catch Alpha
Surf's Cryptopedia relaunch introduces Signal, a single 0–100 score that measures how far a token is deviating from its own normal behavior rather than price or absolute size, so one number replaces reconciling four dashboards. It pairs each score with a Core State that explains why a token is abnormal (Leverage Expansion, Liquidation Spike, Crowded Shorts, Social Attention Spike, etc.), surfaced across three views: Token of the Day/Week, the Signal Map bubble chart, and the filterable Signal Rankings leaderboard. The pitch is turning Cryptopedia from a library you look things up in into a radar that flags what's actually moving and whether the move is real, letting you spot fake pumps, catch attention before price, and hunt squeezes before the market.

8 ways the gap between your question and your decision just got shorter
Surf AI shipped eight updates this month aimed at killing the slow steps that still sat between asking a question and making a decision: it can now watch and fact-check YouTube videos against onchain data, answer follow-ups directly on a highlighted line of a report, read uploaded files (PDFs, CSVs, screenshots) and generate output files back, and draw any technical indicator straight onto the candlestick chart. Alongside these, four smaller refinements — a token list widget, better entity tagging, 22 categories of starting questions, and a relocated Spotlight — push the same goal of making Surf the fastest path from question to clarity.
