Editorial and Update Policy — How We Source and Correct

How we decide what to publish, where contract data comes from, how often pages are reviewed, and how corrections are made and recorded.

What we publish

We cover one narrow thing: markets where an ordinary brokerage account leaves you unable to act, and the mechanics of acting anyway. A market qualifies if it has either of two barriers in front of it.

An access barrier. The asset is not listed anywhere, the standard contract is too large for a retail account, or your broker cannot reach the venue. Private companies, commodity futures with six-figure notionals, and foreign listings most brokers never connected to.

An hours barrier. You can buy the asset perfectly well, but not when it matters. A memory maker reports after the US close, Seoul trades six and a half hours a day, and equity markets are shut for 65 hours every weekend. Owning the shares does not help you at 3am on a Sunday, and a contract that trades continuously does.

The second barrier is the one most write-ups ignore, and on this venue it is where almost all the volume is. We added it explicitly in August 2026 after finding that our own rule excluded several of the most heavily traded markets on the exchange while permitting quieter ones.

What has not changed is the standard for what we then say. If an asset is straightforwardly buyable and the hours genuinely do not matter for it, we do not manufacture a reason to write about a derivative of it. And on every page where owning the thing outright is the better answer, we say so.

We do not publish price predictions, trading signals, or “top picks.” We earn money from referral commissions, which makes us the wrong source for an opinion on where a price is going.

We also only write a guide once a market clears $1 million of daily volume. Below that, slippage exceeds every fee and discount on this site combined. Every market on the venue is listed with its current volume so you can check which side of that line any of them sits on.

How we source data

Contract data — prices, funding rates, open interest, leverage limits — comes from the public Hyperliquid API and is refreshed when the site is built. The retrieval date appears next to the data. You can query the same public endpoint and verify any number on this site.

Everything else — access rules, fee structures, regulatory status — is sourced from primary documents where they exist. When we cannot verify something, we say so rather than filling the gap.

How often pages are updated

We separate three kinds of freshness, because conflating them produces pages that look updated but are not:

Market data refreshes on every build. This does not change a page’s stated update date, because nothing about the analysis changed.

Analysis and rules are reviewed quarterly, and rewritten whenever the underlying facts change — a new fee tier, a change in country availability, a new access route.

Events trigger immediate updates: a new listing, a rule change, or material news about a covered asset.

Each page carries a change record listing what actually changed and when. We do not bump dates without a substantive edit.

Corrections

If a page is wrong, tell us and we will fix it and note the correction in that page’s change record. We would rather be corrected than be trusted by default.

Risk

Nothing on this site is financial advice. Perpetual futures are leveraged instruments and most retail accounts trading them lose money. A perpetual contract on a private company’s valuation gives you no shares, no shareholder rights, and no allocation in any future IPO.
