Publication standard
A market-data record is not a review. A public report requires verified identity, primary-source evidence, material risk analysis, human sign-off, and a documented update trigger.
Primary sources first
Protocol documentation, explorers, governance records, audit reports, and legal filings outrank marketing summaries.
Class-specific review
A stablecoin, Layer 1, governance token, wrapper, and meme asset cannot be judged by one generic checklist.
Confidence over precision
We grade the evidence supporting a conclusion instead of disguising uncertainty behind a precise universal score.
No pay-to-improve
Sponsors may buy clearly labelled placement. They cannot select findings, suppress risks, or alter the research view.
Five shared evidence layers
- Identity and scope. Economic asset, network, verified contract, wrappers, ticker collisions, issuer, and current operating status.
- Control and security. Mint/freeze/blacklist powers, proxies, admin keys, audits, exploits, dependencies, governance, and upgrade paths.
- Economics. Utility, value capture, circulating/total/max supply, inflation, unlocks, insider allocation, treasury, and dilution.
- Market quality. Verified liquidity, venue and holder concentration, depth, slippage, suspicious volume, collateral, and bridge exposure.
- Evidence and accountability. Source log, reproducible checks, retrieval time, named analyst/reviewer, conflicts, limitations, and changes.
Indexability gate
Profiles remain internal or non-indexed until all required identity fields are resolved, material risks are addressed, primary evidence is logged, a named analyst signs the report, and an independent reviewer approves it.
Price scenarios, where published, must disclose their horizon, assumptions, supply basis, sensitivities, prior performance, and uncertainty. They are never presented as certain outcomes.
