# @CoinGecko is here ![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmTWDGN8C9HwhxfsC7dSSdscisLZGBynF1CQVxdUkWdFti) That's right Steemians. This is great news for Steem and Steemit. Another step in the right direction. @ned do you know about this good news? It would be nice if you can welcome them too! The creation date on SteemD says they're here way before today but don't let that fool you. I believe the account was reserved for them and CoinGecko started managing the account two days ago. As part of @steemitweekly, my co-editors and I read a lot of Steemit articles. We find news-worthy articles by our beloved Steemians and post a Sunday weekly for everyone to get up to date and entertained. But I can't wait for 3 more days to let y'all know about this wonderful update so here it goes... # Introducing CoinGecko Here's a quick link to their [introduction](https://steemit.com/@coingecko/hello-steem-coingecko-is-here). And of course we need to verify their account. It's a **big** deal because we don't want just anyone impersonating them. They verified they are on Steemit on their Twitter page. ![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmXb8FYrMHRU9asdDA55YeFCrgwCDoNtuAynJTG4sq4dDf) Doing this from the get go is really helpful for steemcleaners, cheetah, and all of us. Verifying authenticity on Steemit makes it legit and also a great gateway for CoinGecko supporters to check out Steemit. **We appreciate CoinGecko's announcement of being here on Steemit.** Blockchain technology needs a wide adoption; CoinGecko being on the forefront of adopting it on top of their amazing job at *aggregating crypto information in real time* is phenomenal. ## Events Calendar - The *Other* Great Feature If you're only using CoinGecko to track your cryptos, there is another feature on their website that I find is a gem - [Events Calendar](https://www.coingecko.com/en/events). ## OctoberFest ![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmSeV82389RDbtvuzj7fFBnDMeSAGvbVQ5KNRoTM4rU5xH) There's a lot happening in cryptosphere this October so check out their Events Calendar and see which one is near you. ![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmewR55AoteNQ5e2GEt1t3KaFZVeTxnZKy2Lg2PHvjW5qn) # Welcome to Steemit, CoinGecko.
