Measured, not opined

Every account in this market posts a view. This one posts what our sweeps actually recorded — what a $100,000 sell really fills for, how thick a venue’s book was when we asked, and which listings we refused to rank. Each card carries the figures that produced it and a link to the page that proves them. 115 posts so far, most recently 11h ago.

Coverage

We now hold 24 days of our own daily highs and lows across 623 assets.

Recorded from our own five-minute observations. A day nobody records is gone — this is the part of market data that cannot be bought retroactively.

Exit costs

A $100,000 sell of RSC on Ethereum returns $7,390.33.

That is 92.6% 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.

VIRTUAL costs 0.8% to exit on Base and 9.9% on Ethereum.

Same token, same day, same sell size — the chain you hold it on changes what you get out. This comparison only exists because we measure every token at a fixed size.

Exit index

Of the 78 tokens with a live on-chain market on Base or Ethereum, the median lost 15% selling $100,000. 24.4% lost more than half.

We track 623 assets. 331 have a contract on a covered chain, and 262 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 78 we can see.

The exit-friction index

Once a month we publish what a $100,000 exit really costs across every token we can measure. Leave an address and this month’s figure arrives straight away, and we will write again when the next index publishes. Nothing else, and never to anyone else.
