Methodology

Transparency is core to our mission. Here's exactly how we source data, calculate scores, and monitor the stablecoin ecosystem. Our methodology is designed to give institutional users confidence in every data point.

Compliance Scoring

Our proprietary compliance score (0-100) evaluates each stablecoin across three dimensions. Scores are converted to letter grades for quick assessment.

Issuer Identification

35%

Is the issuing entity publicly known, registered, and regulated? Anonymous issuers receive zero points.

Known & regulated: 35 | Known but unregulated: 20 | Anonymous: 0

Treasury Visibility

35%

How transparent are reserve holdings? On-chain verification scores highest.

On-chain: 35 | Audited reports: 30 | Self-reported: 15 | None: 5

Peg Stability

30%

Current peg status based on real-time deviation monitoring.

Stable (<0.5% deviation): 30 | Recovering: 15 | Depegged (>2%): 5

Peg Monitoring

We monitor peg stability every 10 minutes using real-time price data. Deviations are calculated against the target peg ($1.00 for USD stablecoins).

Status	Deviation	Description
STABLE	< 0.5%	Price within normal operating range
WARNING	0.5% - 2%	Elevated deviation, monitoring closely
DEPEG	> 2%	Significant deviation from target peg

Note: Non-USD-pegged stablecoins (EUR, gold, silver) are tracked against their respective target prices and clearly labeled on the platform.
