What you’ll learn

DexTape brings market observations, attributed publisher coverage and educational material into one place.

Why it matters

Knowing where a number or story came from helps you judge its freshness, meaning and limitations.

Start with the source

The news wire collects stories from publishers and retains the publisher, timestamp and original link. Article pages may include a feed-provided body, text extracted from the publisher page, or an excerpt. A Full label describes the body available in DexTape; it does not mean DexTape independently reported the story. Follow the original link for the publisher’s presentation and subsequent corrections.

Read market observations in context

Market quotes and historical charts can come from different supported providers. A venue or pool’s candles may differ from an aggregated asset quote. Check the displayed source, asset identity, time range and freshness. Missing history is not a zero price, and a stale observation should not be read as a new update.

Use the tools alongside the explanation

Start with a guide when a metric is unfamiliar, then open the related asset or tool. A watchlist saves things to revisit; it is not a portfolio performance calculation. A sentiment index describes its provider’s methodology; it is not a DexTape price forecast. Source notes and the glossary explain these distinctions.

Check the next step

For a consequential claim, follow the primary evidence linked by the publisher: an announcement, filing, transaction or documented methodology. Look for what changed, when it happened and what remains unresolved. A headline is the beginning of that process, not the end.
