Phase 1 (Exchanges): Trade and order book data
[Mandatory by June 14, 2019]
To start, the following data will become mandatory for all exchanges, broadening the span of data users can infer on the site:
Live trading data: Ongoing live trade data provided via API (example)
Live order book data: Ongoing order book data provided via API (example)
These data points will enable analyses to determine measures such as liquidity, order book depth, spreads, and other meaningful measures. With these additional data points, users will be better able to contextualize the pricing and volume being reported on the site and API.
Any exchange that does not provide this mandatory data to us via a new or updated summary endpoint will be excluded from all price and adjusted volume calculations on the site.
There is a 45-day grace period for all exchanges to send this new endpoint to us, and changes will go into effect on June 14, 2019.
Phase 2 (Exchanges): Enhanced data and metrics
For phase 2, we are planning to grow the types of data available for analysis and enable filtering to allow deeper analyses and views into the exchanges’ operations.
Exchange hot/cold wallet addresses: Proof of Solvency/Reserves/Liabilities, or at least indicative numbers to enable users to determine solvency of selected exchange
Live market-pair trading status (example “status” field): More granular trading data at the market-pair level for further analysis
Live wallet status (example “can_deposit” and “can_withdraw” fields): Summary status of all possible deposits and withdrawals across currencies
Historical trade data (example): All time-stamped historical trades for tracking, and in some cases, compliance
While these are not finalized yet, DATA partners have pledged to observe and fulfill these new conditions if they are required.
Phase 3 (Exchanges & Crypto projects): Self-reported information
To give every project on the site a chance to demonstrate the effort it has put into promoting accountability and transparency, we will be introducing self-reporting channels for projects to provide additional information.
We stress that these are purely voluntary reporting, and every field is optional.
The level to which each project self-reports the data will be factored into its ranking. This is in line with DATA’s intent to incentivize greater levels of disclosure and transparency without the need for censorship or arbitrary judgment calls.
Projects already listed on CoinMarketCap that do not self-report additional information will continue to be listed without prejudice.
