System and Data

  • API Reference

    Public Pharos API contracts for stablecoin data: endpoints, authentication, response schemas, pagination, freshness headers, and dataset exports.

  • Architecture

    How Pharos is built: static Next.js export, Cloudflare Pages Functions, Worker API lanes, D1 storage, route ownership, and SEO metadata rules.

  • Data Flow Map

    Source-to-UI map for Pharos stablecoin data, covering market prices, peg monitoring, liquidity, report cards, alerts, and generated public artifacts.

  • Data Pipeline

    Stablecoin data pipeline guide for price enrichment, source priority, freshness checks, integrity guardrails, fallback behavior, and sync cadence.

  • Worker and API Limits

    Operational limits for the Pharos Worker and API: cron budgets, fetch connection caps, polling intervals, cache behavior, and guardrail checks.

Methodology

  • Classification

    Stablecoin classification methodology for peg currencies, backing models, governance labels, commodity pegs, lifecycle status, and taxonomy pages.

  • Stablecoin Listing Policy

    How Pharos admits, classifies, quarantines, delists, and preserves stablecoin records while separating catalog policy from runtime pricing failures.

  • Pricing Pipeline

    How Pharos computes stablecoin prices: source consensus, peg-aware validation, fallback enrichment, stale-data handling, and override policy.

  • Depeg Detection

    Depeg detection methodology covering two-stage confirmation, peg-score inputs, severity bands, event lifecycle, and recovery handling.

  • DEWS

    Depeg Early Warning System methodology: DEWS formula, stress sub-signals, bands, downgrade gates, and API response contract.

  • DEX Liquidity

    DEX Liquidity Score methodology for stablecoins: pool discovery, depth scoring, durability, pair diversity, cross-validation, and risk bands.

  • Pharos Stability Index

    Pharos Stability Index methodology explaining the PSI formula, active universe, stress bands, storage model, API surface, and replay rules.

  • Report Cards

    Stablecoin report-card methodology for safety scoring, peg risk, liquidity, reserves, resilience, decentralization, dependency exposure, and portfolios.

  • Redemption Backstops

    Redemption Backstops methodology for exit routes, redemption terms, effective-exit scoring, operational disclosures, and stored review evidence.

  • Chain Health

    Chain Health Score methodology for stablecoin networks: supply concentration, venue health, deployment coverage, risk factors, and score bands.

  • Mint Burn Flows

    Mint and burn flow methodology covering issuance-chain ingestion, pressure scoring, Bank Run Gauge inputs, reconciliation, and backfills.

  • Yield Intelligence

    Yield Intelligence methodology for stablecoin APY resolution, Pharos Yield Score, source confidence, reward warnings, and risk-adjusted ranking.

  • Shadow Stablecoins

    Shadow stablecoin policy for PSI-only assets, eligibility boundaries, UI exclusions, data handling, and why these assets stay out of main rankings.

Design

  • Design Context

    Pharos design context for product direction, user needs, brand posture, information density, and how the dashboard should feel in daily use.

  • Design Language

    Pharos design language reference for live UI patterns, typography, spacing, responsive behavior, visual hierarchy, and route-specific conventions.
