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. 242 posts so far, most recently 2h ago.

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.
