Exit costs

A $100,000 sell of IXS on Base returns $6,324.06.

That is 93.7% lost on the way out, measured against routed quotes rather than a pool balance. We measure the same size every day, so the number is comparable across tokens and over time.

Exit index

Of the 428 tokens with a live on-chain market on Base, Ethereum or BNB Chain, the median lost 28.5% selling $100,000. 38.8% lost more than half.

We track 1,286 assets. 846 have a contract on a covered chain, and 631 of those returned no on-chain price when we asked — an asset whose real market is a centralised exchange, or a receipt token never meant to trade, is invisible to this measurement rather than illiquid. The index is only ever a statement about the 428 we can see.
