Research questions

What you can find here.

How we use data, visual explanations, and sources to answer crypto questions.

What can I explore on The Hard Data?

The Hard Data answers crypto questions with data charts, comparisons, timelines, and visual explanations. The question determines the format; each page shows its sources, scope, and limitations.

Where does the information come from?

Data sources include Dune and providers such as DefiLlama. Protocol explanations use official documentation where applicable. Each page links its sources and explains the relevant dates and definitions.

How are chart pages different from research notes?

Chart pages help you explore a specific measure or question visually. Research notes add context, explain mechanisms, or connect several related charts.

Are all charts updated automatically?

No. Some pages preserve a fixed historical snapshot; others use recurring updates. Check the update policy and data-through date on the individual page.

What should I check before using a chart?

Check the dates, units, included assets or networks, and the definition of the measure. A historical value is not a live quote, and different sources may cover different populations.
