About The Project

CryptoWatch is one of my just-for-fun projects. The application allows you to follow the currently available Cryptos in the market and gives you some insights about the actual prices and stats of Cryptos. In addition, Cryptowatch gives you the possibility to search news and updates about coins. Grouping all these features in one single place gives you the ability to reduce the amount of time passed searching for Cryptos.
