How we count

Everything on the site is read from the Elysium blockchain or given by the projects themselves, and we say which is which. Nothing here is advice: a place in a list says what happened on the chain, not what anyone should buy.

1. Where the figures come from

• Our own Elysium node and indexer. Our servers run their own Elysium node and read every block: transactions, wallets, token trades, holders, and each project's contracts.
• The public Elysium RPC. The live numbers your browser shows (latest block, newest trades) come straight from it, as each block lands.
• Prices in dollars. Testnet HYPE at that day's Hyperliquid price, test USDC at $1. Testnet tokens have no real value.
• X followers. Read from each public profile, four times a day.
• Descriptions, links and logos. Given by the projects and token creators, and marked as theirs.

The site is rebuilt every 5 minutes and the daily charts every 10. Figures can be late, incomplete or wrong, especially while our indexer is still reading older blocks.

2. How the lists are ordered

• Trending tokens: the most different buyers over the window shown (24 hours on the home page), then the most volume. Counting buyers rather than volume keeps one wallet with free test money from topping the list.
• New: the latest launches, newest first.
• Heating up: the most different buyers over the window picked (1 hour by default).
• Top: the most volume over 24 hours, among tokens with 25 holders or more.
• Most traded: the most volume over 24 hours.
• Projects: Ascend, our partner, first; then the apps with the most different wallets using their contracts over the last 7 days; then the chain's own infrastructure. Any column can be clicked to sort by it.
• Most volume, Most wallets: over the last 7 days, through each project's contracts.
• Rising this week: transactions this week against last week, for projects with 1,000 or more this week and 300 or more the week before.

3. Partners, promoted spots and referral links

Ascend is our partner: it is shown first among the projects and has its own spot. A paid placement only ever shows in a box marked "Promoted", apart from the lists. Some links to the apps we list are referral links: the app may share part of its fees with us, at no extra cost to you. Neither a partnership nor a referral link changes how a list is counted.

4. What our marks mean

• Confirmed contracts: checked by hand. The team told us these contracts are theirs, or they are in its own app.
• Found by us: contracts found in a project's app or deployed by the same wallet, not confirmed by the team yet.
• The blue check on a token: a project's own token, launched by its team, as the team says.
• Holder checks on a token page: how concentrated it is and how it launched. A figure turns red past a limit: the 10 biggest wallets holding over 30%, its creator over 10%, wallets that bought in its first 30 seconds or its first second holding over 10%. Red means worth a closer look.

None of these marks says that a project or a token is safe, legitimate or a good investment.

5. Bots, XP and leaderboards

Wallets we identify as bots or farms are marked and left out of some rankings. XP, badges, quests and leaderboards have no monetary value, can't be transferred, and are not a promise of any airdrop (see our Terms of Use).

6. Something wrong?

If a figure, a contract or a description looks wrong, or if a project is yours and you want something changed, message @ElysiumEco on X. We correct it as soon as we've checked.
