  In addition to these specific extensions, there are also general-purpose Flask extensions like Flask-Restful and Flask-SQLAlchemy that can be used to build robust web applications with cryptocurrency functionalities. Flask-Restful simplifies the process of creating RESTful APIs, which can be useful when building cryptocurrency-related services. Flask-SQLAlchemy, on the other hand, provides an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) layer for working with databases, making it easier to store and retrieve cryptocurrency-related data.
