WalletChart.com methodology

1. Scope before totals

Every chart begins with a defined set of accounts, addresses, descriptors, networks, and historical coverage. A public address is not automatically a complete wallet, and an inferred cluster is not the same as user-supplied ownership. Scope labels should state what is included and how the relationship was established.

2. Durable identity

Assets are identified by chain and native identifier—such as contract, mint, or native-asset namespace—not by ticker symbol alone. Protocol, issuer, and account labels are versioned mappings with provenance. Similar names do not justify merging instruments.

3. Quantity before valuation

Raw quantities and state remain available even when price data is missing. Valuation records include quote currency, source type, timestamp, and status. Stale, estimated, unpriced, or divergent values are marked visibly. Precision reflects data quality rather than token decimal count.

4. Flow reconciliation

External deposits and withdrawals are separated from internal transfers, swaps, borrowing, repayment, rewards, fees, and market revaluation. Cross-chain bridge events are matched only when evidence supports the relationship. An unresolved residual remains visible instead of being forced into a performance category.

5. Position-aware totals

Receipt tokens, vault shares, liquidity positions, debt, stake, and tokenized claims are resolved into economic positions when supported. Direct assets already represented inside a resolved position are excluded from the top-level total to avoid double counting. Unsupported or stale resolvers fall back to clearly labeled observable state.

6. Risk as exposure, not a universal score

Charts group exposure by asset, chain, protocol, issuer, bridge, oracle, position type, currency, and liquidity. Permissions and contract capabilities are shown separately from balances. The site avoids claiming that one opaque score can summarize every technology, market, legal, and operational risk.

7. Accessible evidence

Important visuals include titles, visible summaries, text descriptions, and structured tables. Color is not the sole carrier of meaning. Keyboard use, responsive layouts, readable contrast, and reduced-motion preferences are part of the chart design.

8. Editorial dates and changes

Each article has a publication date and a genuine modification date. Dates are consistent across the page, structured data, blog listings, RSS, and sitemap. The build date for this package is October 19, 2026. Articles are not automatically labeled as updated on the build date.

9. Educational boundaries

Content explains visualization and data-model concepts. It does not provide personalized investment, tax, legal, accounting, custody, or security advice. Illustrative values are fictional and do not represent market forecasts or actual wallet performance.
