Three caveats. (1) Lower is better, but a non-zero floor (~5-20 bps) is normal, ticker last-traded prices have micro-jitter and Chainlink updates only on deviation/heartbeat. (2) XRP, ADA, DOGE measured on 3 sources because Chainlink deprecated those USD feeds on Ethereum mainnet, tag flags it. (3) POL/USD is the post-migration symbol for MATIC; we point at POLUSDT (not the frozen legacy MATICUSDT).

How this pair was selected

Auto-generated pairs require: both providers in the same benchmark for seven consecutive days, at least 1000 samples per provider, observable third-party search demand, and a public /products/[slug] page on OCB. Editorially curated pairs (like this one) may publish early when search demand is high and data is accruing — panels with fewer than 100 samples are shown as provisional. The full pair ledger is versioned in the public repo.
