QDT Launches Daily Bitcoin Price Prediction API Vi...
We are excited to announce that Quantum Data Technologies (QDT) is launching our official Chainlink node, bringing our Bitcoin (BTC) crypto price predictions on-chain.
Figure 1: BTC Price Prediction (1-13 days)
Price predictions for BTC are generated from our AI and ML platform, Quantum ML. DeFi developers can now call the QDT Chainlink node to get daily BTC price predictions at a lookahead period of 1,3,5,8, and 13 days. Developers can define their start and end date, meaning they can get the price prediction from a specific day or the entire history from the defined period. QDT price predictions can be utilized in a multitude of smart contract use cases within decentralized finance (DeFi), such as triggering automated on-chain trading strategies, calculating futures contract prices, and rebasing tokens based on predicted price action.
Model Performance Metrics
The first question people always have is, “how good is the accuracy?” To this end, a summary of model performance comparing BTC price prediction vs a buy and hold strategy is provided in the table below. This table is designed to provide the simplest comparison of how the model performs relative to the benchmark (BTC) over various time periods.
Essentially this table aims to answer the question, “If I use this model signal on a daily basis, what is the alpha I can expect to generate above a buy and hold strategy?” says QDT Product Owner, Sean Bockhold. “It’s designed to speak to both traders and investors because with it you can clearly see which models outperform, by how much, and over what timeframe.”

A comprehensive list of additional metrics is available through the API. If you’re a developer and want to begin building with QDT’s BTC price prediction data, visit the QDT Chainlink node documentation.
What’s in a Prediction?
Behind each of these models is our massive data lake and a highly advanced Automated Machine Learning (AML) engine. Each model has over 1000 unique data inputs, including but not limited to, crypto price data, equities indices, energy costs, and blockchain data. Quantum ML, utilizes a feature called Autoseries, which constantly optimizes the model to improve signal accuracy and robustness. It does this by periodically reassessing a large search area of data, algorithms and hyperparameters settings.
While developers can now use QDT’s daily BTC price prediction signals, we plan to expand the on-chain data offerings available through our Chainlink node in the future to incorporate more data, and other cryptocurrency price predictions, like Ethereum, Cardano and more.
“We’re pleased at how quick and seamless it was to connect QDT’s existing APIs with multiple blockchains through a Chainlink node,” stated Rajiv Chandrasekaran, CEO and Co-Founder of QDT. “We can now sell data directly to DeFi developers and applications, showcasing the synergy between AI-refined datasets and data-driven smart contract applications.”
We selected Chainlink because it is the most time-tested and widely used decentralized oracle network in the industry, and we’re confident that through this partnership, our data and APIs will reach key developers within the DeFi ecosystem. We’re excited to see what the developer community comes up with. For other information about why we chose Chainlink, see our previous announcement.
