Reading the exchanges

What is a coin
worth right now?

Thirty-two assets, priced from a live exchange socket in this browser — not a number a server cached for you a minute ago. Which exchange is answering is named at the top of the list, because the honest version of "live" is knowing who is speaking.

On-chain

What the chains
are doing.

A price is what an exchange says. This is what the network itself says: how many transactions are waiting, what they are paying to get in, how fast the chain is going. Six chains can be read from a browser without a key — those six are here, and the rest of the deck is honest about not being readable rather than filled in with something plausible.

The minute

What the market
is reading.

The crypto desks and the business wire, merged and sorted by the clock. Nothing is rewritten or summarised here — the headline is the publisher's and the link goes straight to them.
