Principles
Nimiq FYI favors transparent, source-bound metrics over opaque scores. Market data, chain data and alert metadata are kept conceptually separate, then joined only where the interpretation requires it.
- Timezone
- Daily public metrics use UTC calendar days unless a chart explicitly shows an intraday/hourly view.
- Refresh cadence
- Market and public dashboard APIs are refreshed and cached in short windows; heavy chain-derived analytics are precomputed before being served.
- Privacy boundary
- Public pages show aggregate series, formulas and limitations. Wallet-route evidence, private clusters and subscriber delivery details remain gated.
Market
NIM Price & Market Cap
Tracks NIM/USD, NIM/BTC sats, daily volume and adjusted circulating market capitalization.
- Primary source
- CryptoCompare market prices, using NIM/USDT plus NIM/BTC and NIM/ETH pairs normalized to USD when available.
- Fallbacks
- Earliest gaps may use CoinCarp or other documented historical patches where CryptoCompare coverage is incomplete.
- Formula
- Adjusted market cap = daily NIM/USD close × adjusted circulating supply.
- Limitations
- Small-market exchange outages, thin liquidity and pair-specific anomalies can temporarily distort volume or close prices.

Supply
Circulating Supply
Separates total minted NIM from vesting-adjusted circulating supply so price and market-cap history are comparable across unlock eras.
- Formula
- Circulating supply = total minted supply − still-locked vesting allocations.
- Schedule
- Known allocation buckets are shown explicitly: community, crowdsale, foundation, good cause, early contributors and creators.
- Use
- Used by public market-cap calculations and long-range valuation comparisons.
- Limitations
- Circulating supply is an economic convention: unlocked does not necessarily mean liquid or exchange-available.

On-chain activity
Daily Active Addresses
Counts unique Nimiq addresses with at least one indexed ledger movement per UTC day, with modes for all, sender-only, receiver-only and newly-seen addresses.
- Dataset
- Public chain-history index built from Nimiq ledger data available to the analytics backend.
- Modes
- All active addresses, senders, receivers and new addresses are split to reduce overinterpretation of a single aggregate line.
- Interpretation
- Best read as a trend and breadth indicator, especially with smoothing, not as a perfect user count.
- Limitations
- One person can use multiple addresses; one service can represent many people; dust/noise can affect short windows.

Liquidity
Exchange Dominance
Shows each tracked venue's share of observed NIM trading volume, useful for liquidity concentration and market-structure shifts.
- Primary source
- CryptoCompare exchange-level NIM market data across available pairs, normalized to USD.
- Patches
- Known venue gaps can be patched from direct exchange or historical sources where appropriate and documented internally.
- Formula
- Exchange dominance = venue USD-normalized NIM volume ÷ total tracked NIM volume for the same interval.
- Limitations
- Dominance sums to 100% of tracked venues, not necessarily every off-chain or OTC NIM market.

Elite intelligence
Flow Alerts
Telegram-native alerts for whale-size movement, exchange inflow pressure, top-trader balance shifts and route changes.
- Public surface
- Only aggregate descriptions, subscriber counts and redacted examples are public.
- Private surface
- Wallet-route evidence, cluster candidates and delivery state stay gated to eligible Elite users.
- Interpretation
- Alerts are context signals, not trading instructions. They identify movements worth checking before charts fully explain them.
- Limitations
- Wallet labels and route inference can change as exchanges rotate addresses or large holders restructure custody.

Caveats
Known Limitations
Nimiq FYI is an analytics layer, not an oracle. Historical market reconstruction, wallet clustering and source coverage all have edge cases.
- Market data
- Thin-liquidity assets can show venue-specific spikes, missing candles or delayed exchange reporting.
- Chain data
- Address-level metrics are behavioral approximations and should not be treated as unique-human counts.
- Premium data
- Premium and Elite analytics may use additional private-safe inference. Public pages intentionally do not expose raw wallet-route evidence.
- Corrections
- When source gaps are discovered, backfills and patches should preserve source identity rather than silently overwriting history.
