The records
Everything this site measures, keeps and publishes, in one place. Each one is something asked of the market directly rather than collected from other people’s summaries, each carries the date it was taken and the number of observations behind it, and most have an address a machine can read.
All of it is free and keyless, and it stays that way for a structural reason rather than a generous one: selling it would need the accounts this site promises not to have.
Measured
Taken by asking, kept as taken, and never adjusted afterwards. Every figure here carries the number of observations behind it, because a rate without its denominator is a claim.
- Provider standings6,250 fan-outs · 18 providers
How often each provider answers when asked, and how far behind the best quote in the same fan-out it comes when it does.
/api/measured
- Price sources4 clusters · 9 providers · read 8 November 2026
Which providers price off one source. Measured as the steadiness of the gap between two quotes, not as agreement between them — a shared engine shows up as a fixed gap, never an identical number.
/api/measured
- Counterparty terms
What each provider's own terms reserve the right to do to you, quoted exactly, with the date the page was read — including the clause that returns a declined deposit minus 10% or 100 USD, whichever is larger.
- Pair records29 pairs
The same measurement per pair. Which provider is best is a property of the pair, and the overall table hides that.
/api/measured
- Lightning operators
Which Bitcoin-layer operators are still answering, and what each one costs, after the day several wallets lost the feature at once because they had all wired themselves to one.
/api/lightning
- What splitting costs
The measured price of dividing a transfer rather than sending it whole, repriced through the day.
Reference
Fetched from the providers themselves and kept, because the answers disagree and somebody has to write down which ones.
Explained
What the numbers mean, how they were taken, and where they stop being true. Kept beside the records rather than in a separate menu, because the question arrives about two minutes after the figure does.
- The dataset
What every field means, how a figure is produced, what it leaves out, and how to cite it.
/api/measured
- Developers
The public endpoints, what each one promises, and the rate they are served at. No key, no account.
- Monero routing
Why a route through a chain nobody can read is a different thing from a route through two exchanges, and what still links the halves.
The build
The record kept about this site rather than about the market. Published for the same reason as the rest: a claim nobody can check is worth nothing.
What is not here
None of this measures what arrives. Every figure on this page is taken from what a provider quotes, and what a provider pays when a deposit confirms is a separate question this site has not measured. A provider that quotes well and settles short would sit high in these tables and deserve not to, and until somebody sends real money through one and records the result, that gap is open rather than closed.
