💤
Turnover is slow
24-hour volume equals 0.3% of market cap. Trading is quiet, so price moves are likely to stay contained.
🏔️
Far below its all-time high
Trading -95% from its all-time high. Recovering that ground would take a substantial return of demand — and a discount this large usually has a reason worth checking.

Development is active
110 GitHub commits in the past four weeks (via CoinGecko). Steady development work supports the project's continuity.

Heat score Heat factor breakdown
26
How the overall score is built: market gate 42 (applied to everything) × geometric mean of the four factors 61 (momentum, liquidity, fundamentals and supply, multiplied together) → 26. It is not a simple average: a weak market holds the whole score down, and a single weak factor drags the rest with it.
Factor breakdown (0–100; higher means more conditions are in place)
Regime (market gate) gate
42
→ The market gate is neutral. Asset-specific factors decide this one.
Momentum
36
→ The recent price trend is down. Going against it needs a reason.
Liquidity (traded volume depth)
77
→ Volume is deep enough that a move is one you could actually participate in.
Fundamentals (TVL / market cap)
50
→ TVL is unremarkable relative to market cap.
Supply lightness
100
→ Most of the supply already circulates, so unlock pressure is light.
Development activity → 110 code updates in the last four weeks; development is very active.
