Hey guys, I was doing some crypto research and found this forum.

What are the best free crypto research tools available today for on-chain data analysis, sentiment tracking, and technical indicator integration especially those that support multi-chain ecosystems?

I’m trying to build a workflow that combines:

Real-time on-chain metrics (e.g., transaction volume, active addresses, wallet distributions)

Social sentiment and trend analysis from Twitter, Reddit, and other sources

Automated alerts for significant on-chain events (e.g., whale movements, protocol upgrades)

Technical charting overlays integrated with fundamental blockchain data

Many paid platforms exist, but I’m interested in free or open-source tools that offer these capabilities, with API access for automation and custom data pipelines. Bonus if they support data export for Python or R analysis.

Has anyone compiled a current list or hands-on experience with such tools? Any recommendations for resources to get started, or best practices when combining multiple tools?

Would appreciate pointers or even some curated guides. For reference, I found this page listing some free crypto research tools:
