A price discount does not remove allocation, unlock or upgrade-authority tradeoffs. An unconnected quote is not a zero cap.
INVESTMENT VALUATION / CONDITIONAL RESEARCH
Investment valuation & potential research
Separate monetary quality and observed adoption, then examine entry price and the conditions for future outcomes.

Assess each layer separately, without a combined score. Strong quality does not establish broad adoption; broad adoption does not establish a cheap entry price.

Verify the evidence first
Review institutional tradeoffs before valuation appeal. Sourced prices and circulation are needed to establish market size.
Monetary scores unchanged · no return multiple estimatedReview allocation and upgrade authority
Verify live genesis allocations, unlocks, actual upgrade authority and full audit reports; then examine demand and exit depth.

Quote definitions, sources & calculations
No identity-checked quote is connected here; this does not establish that no market exists.
Circulating cap is provider-reported. A discrepancy over 5% versus price × circulating supply stops automatic use. This is arithmetic checking, not a supply audit. Quotes older than 24 hours or fallback snapshots are historical; timestamps over five minutes in the future are excluded.
Scenario cap = base cap × 0.5 / 1 / 2 / 5; relative size = scenario cap ÷ reference cap
Circulation is held constant, so only entry price changes. There is no fair-value target or return forecast. Missing evidence stays unknown; low coverage does not remove a project. Research interpretations use the 2026-09-29 evidence snapshot; quotes refresh separately.

Reach separate conclusions on quality, adoption and valuation
Monetary quality
Use common properties and weights to assess rules, rights and outcomes, retaining intervals for unknowns. Merchant counts, user counts and market cap add no quality points. Historical purchasing power can be measured; mechanism potential has separate conditions and counterevidence.
Quality rankingReal monetary adoption
Examine the scale, persistence and contexts of actual holding, payments and native pricing. Live features, address growth and exchange volume are not substitutes for adoption evidence. Documentary observations and missing measurements remain distinct.
Adoption evidenceInvestment valuation
Analyze entry conditions using price, float, dilution and executable depth, then test how demand reaches holders. The 0.5 / 1 / 2 / 5× cap scenarios change valuation assumptions, not quality or adoption conclusions. Reference caps are not target caps.
Valuation scenariosThe three layers have no combined score. The former quality-and-relative-cap potential index is no longer displayed; a small market cap does not establish undervaluation.
