How this report is built

Every figure is computed from agent economy's open dataset at render time — nothing is hand-entered, estimated, or sourced from press releases. Monthly totals are sums of the measured daily (or weekly) series for each protocol family; month-over-month changes compare against the same measurement of the prior month. Units are deliberately not blended: a payment settlement, a registry registration, a commerce memo, and a channel event are different acts, reported side by side.

Anything the pipeline could not fully measure for the month is omitted and flagged rather than estimated. The raw feed behind every number is public, free, and CORS-open — recompute anything on this page from data.json, or read the methodology.
