Concepts
Where each price comes from
Four sources, and which of them you can check without trusting anyone.
| number | source | on chain? |
|---|---|---|
| multiplier | the token contract itself | yes |
| token worth | Chainlink aggregator, 35 of 194 tickers | yes |
| token worth, fallback | issuer bid/ask times the multiplier | no |
| pool price | deepest pool holding the token | yes |
| corporate-action schedule | issuer API | no |
The Chainlink answer already includes the multiplier. It is the token price, not the share price. Dividing it by the multiplier gives a share; applying the multiplier twice is the most common integration bug on this chain.
Fallback quality
159 tokens have no Chainlink feed. For those, worth is the midpoint of the issuer’s bid and ask multiplied by the multiplier. When the underlying market is closed that spread can widen to double digits, so the site marks the source on every row and flags a wide market rather than pretending the midpoint is a price.
Two basis numbers
the arithmetic, in full
sharePrice = fairToken / multiplier naiveBasis = poolPrice / sharePrice - 1 // what a tracker implies trueBasis = poolPrice / fairToken - 1 // the honest gap displayError = multiplier - 1 // how wrong the screen is // on a token that has never paid, multiplier = 1 and the two basis // numbers are identical. That is why the column is blank for 183 rows.
