Source hierarchy
Tier one sources are regulator records, signed attestations, audited reports and primary network data. Tier two sources are issuer transparency pages, official product documentation and legal terms. Aggregators and secondary reporting are used for dated market snapshots, context and discovery, but not as the sole basis for material reserve, legal-status or product-availability claims.
Market snapshots
Market size, peg and supply-change figures are observation-date snapshots. They are stored separately from issuer claims and linked to their market-data source. A seven-day review window is a review target, not a guarantee that a record was refreshed. An elapsed review date means the record needs another check. Stablrcoin does not describe these records as a live feed.
Our market refresh matches fixed DeFiLlama asset IDs, not ticker symbols alone. Supply comes from each asset’s dated history in token units. The 30-day change requires an exact baseline date; unavailable baselines and prices stay missing. Estimated USD market cap multiplies supply by the captured USD price, including for non-dollar stablecoins. API capture time is recorded separately because the provider does not supply a price-update timestamp with these responses.
Tracked network counts include positive balances on native and bridged networks. They are not a count of issuer-approved native deployments. Market charts use unrounded estimates and cover only the selected catalog assets, not the whole stablecoin economy. Refreshes reject mismatched IDs, invalid values and supply histories more than two days old before replacing the stored snapshot.
Verification
Market and product records carry observation and review dates. A provider-page link confirms discovery; “fields reviewed” means the named product page supported specific displayed fields at the observation date. Availability, fees and regulatory status can vary by jurisdiction and should be confirmed with the provider before acting.
Document reviews are not market updates
Stablecoin profiles show a source and review date beside each recently checked document field. A review of reserve structure or reporting cadence does not refresh market cap, supply change, price or network counts. Those figures retain their original observation date. Fields without a dated field-level source are not included in the latest review.
We distinguish issuer self-reports, accountant attestations and company financial audits. A document review is not an independent audit of the underlying assets. Publication dates, balance dates and the date we read a source are recorded for different purposes and must not be substituted for one another.
Automated source checks
Our checks enumerate the resolved catalog, including records that share a review date. They track market snapshots and issuer-document reviews separately. Offline checks do not establish that a link works; an access-denied or rate-limited response remains unresolved. Even a successful response only establishes reachability, not the truth of the claims on that page.
Research standard
Research notes must make an explicit thesis, distinguish evidence from inference and include the primary sources needed to challenge the argument. We do not publish generated market summaries, token-price predictions or articles whose conclusion is only that adoption may increase.
Corrections
To request a correction, send the page URL, affected field and supporting primary source to hello@stablrcoin.com. A submission is not proof that a correction has been reviewed or applied. Observation dates should change only when the underlying information is checked.
