## Limitations

- Crypto network activity is not company earnings. Protocol revenue does not automatically accrue to token holders.
- Market capitalisation is a dated snapshot, not a point-in-time historical supply series, so yields computed against it inherit that lag.
- No valuation band exists for any coin: historical market capitalisation is not held at all.
- Funding rates, open interest, liquidations, exchange flows, unlock schedules and developer activity are not held and are not inferred.
- The research score is relative to this coin's own theme only. It is not comparable across themes and is not an entry signal.

No. There is no company-style P/E or PEG for a crypto token, and no valuation band is shown on this page because the data to build one honestly does not exist: historical market capitalisation is not held, only a current snapshot. Where a protocol publishes fees or revenue, this page shows the yield against that dated snapshot instead.
