feat: data-api report August 2026

[Flotapponnier]

Summary

• New report at /reports/data-api/2026-08-state-of-crypto-data-apis covering 9 live benchmarks across 5 categories
• Registers data-api in REPORT_CATEGORY_META for correct breadcrumb/badge labels
• All data sourced live from OCB Prometheus + bench blobs (no hallucinated figures)

Key findings covered

• No single provider leads more than 2 of the 5 categories — market is structurally fragmented
• Mobula 707ms global head lag, 99ms on Solana (7.9x gap vs Codex on same chain)
• Token metadata: statistical tie Codex 64.3% vs Mobula 63.7%
• Indexing freshness cliff: Zerion/Mobula/Allium <4s vs Moralis 14.5s with 85.7% SR
• GeckoTerminal 253 DEX chains but 12.5s head lag — breadth vs freshness tradeoff
• Moralis leads NFT metadata 97.1% but worst indexing SR (same provider, opposite ends)
• Wallet labels: chain-native specialists dominate (Helius 84.1%, XRPScan 79.8%, StellarExpert 80%)

Style

Exact same MDX structure as the RPC report — TOC, Summary, Mark highlights, StatTable components, UseCase decision framework, byline, citation block.
