The short version

API3 lets data providers run their own oracle nodes (Airnode) and sells data feeds, oracle-extractable-value auctions and curated vaults to DeFi apps. The API3 DAO governs it, and stakers earn newly minted API3. Since 8 Sep 2026 the DAO has used OEV income, curator fees and ETH staking yield for recurring API3 buybacks, and a vote opened on 29 Oct 2026 on a 200M supply cap. On 31 Oct 2026 one API3 cost C$0.3350. From 31 Jul 2026 to 31 Oct 2026 its price changed +24.9% in Canadian dollars, and it was 97.4% below its all-time high of C$12.98 set on 6 Apr 2021.^[1]
