Where to check the IOST price across exchanges
What is useful right now comes down to three things, all of them computed from live data rather than history.
The IOST price gap between exchanges
IOST costs different amounts on different exchanges, and that gap is visible in the cross-exchange scanner: it shows where the coin is cheaper and where it is dearer right now.
How much IOST you can actually buy at that price
Before a large purchase it is worth checking the order books — they show how much you can actually take at a given price, not just the best offer.
Moving IOST between platforms
And if the coin has to move between venues, the transfers section shows which network is cheaper.
