Methodology updates
Everything we add to coverage, every change to how we measure, and every published figure that has moved — with what it was and what it is now. If you cited a number from this site, this page tells you whether it still holds.

Blockradar added as infrastructure — wallet-as-a-service, $1.40B observable flow across ten chains to 28 September
Infrastructure flow overlaps venues we already count, so it is never added to market or category totals.

Method and coverage
Methodology explains what each metric means and where the limits are. Coverage lists the venues, markets and chains we measure today. Changes to the product rather than the numbers are in product updates.
