What this report can establish
This is a record of observations and a catalog decision. It does not establish why a project failed, who sold, whether liquidity was deliberately removed, or whether a rug pull occurred. Those claims require transaction-level evidence that this report does not supply.
- Identity is the network plus the full contract. Matching tickers, similarly named projects and replacement contracts are not merged.
- DexScreener exact-token batches and GeckoTerminal exact-token/top-pool batches are checked separately. They may share upstream DEX data; agreement is not independent proof.
- Trading observed means at least one returned pool reports $1,000 or more in trailing 24h volume, or at least 10 transactions. Low activity means at least one pool supplies both fields below these thresholds, and no returned pool meets either threshold. It does not prove all pools are quiet.
- Provider failures, incomplete responses and quote-only values are not absence evidence. No-market results describe only successful lookups at the named providers.
- Charts connect actual saved observations within one source and pool. Lines are visual guides, not extra measurements; dashed links mark longer gaps. Daily price history uses complete GeckoTerminal OHLCV candles with the exact token side verified, and skips empty intervals. Daily candle volume is exported separately from trailing 24h snapshots. USD liquidity changes also reflect price changes and do not establish withdrawals.
- Legacy observations without a saved pool identity are labeled market in the table. Their liquidity/activity is excluded from pool charts, and they are never used for same-pool comparisons.
- Legacy saved-page numbers without trustworthy field dates are excluded from charts. A missing final observation or reversed date sequence does not become a zero-day lifespan.
- A baseline follow-up is queued after retirement, another at least seven days later, then monthly. Provider failures are eligible for a next-day retry. Queue limits can delay a check; the dates above show actual execution.
