Methodology

Prices, market caps, supply figures, rankings and tags come from CoinMarketCap's API. The top ~250 coins by market cap — which is what powers the homepage table, ticker and category tabs — refresh on a schedule roughly every 10 minutes. An individual coin's detail page outside that top tier is served from the last fetch on file, which can be several hours old; we don't spend an API call on every page view, since most long-tail coins don't move enough minute-to-minute for that to matter.

A daily sweep also refreshes each listed coin's catalog fields once a day — tags, listing date, platform, fully diluted valuation, market dominance, CEX/DEX volume split, 30/60/90-day change — so even a coin far outside the actively-ticking top 250 still shows real, current-as-of-that-sweep figures rather than nothing.

Daily closing prices are collected hourly from CoinMarketCap's historical OHLCV data and stored per coin, building up a full daily-close history over time rather than re-fetching it on demand.

The DCA (dollar-cost-averaging) calculator runs entirely on that stored daily-close series: it answers "if I'd put a fixed amount into this coin on a schedule since a given date, what would it be worth at the last close?" Every simulated purchase happens at that day's close, with no fees, no slippage and no taxes — it's a hypothetical reconstruction of the past, not a forecast, and every result says so.

The all-time high shown is the highest daily high CoinMarketCap reports for that coin (falling back to the highest daily close when the reported high looks like a bad data tick — this affects mostly very small coins). Max drawdown is the deepest fall from a running peak close to a later close across the coin's full recorded history. 30- and 90-day volatility is the standard deviation of daily log returns over that window, annualised; trend compares the current close against 50- and 200-day moving averages. None of these figures are a rating, a signal or investment guidance — they describe what already happened, nothing more.
