Coverage rate
Mobulan/aSerializedn/a
Coverage means the provider returned a non-empty label for the probed address, it says nothing about label quality or correctness. Read the EOA vs contract split before concluding: a provider can look strong overall while only labeling contracts (verified-source names) and missing every wallet. The Success column is fetch reliability (share of API calls that did not error), not labeling accuracy.

Price gap
Mobulan/aSerializedn/a
The figure is the gap between what a price API printed and what the exchanges were quoting when the answer arrived, so it bundles two things: how the API builds its price and how old that price is. A feed refreshed every minute carries up to a minute of market drift into its gap, and that is intended, because it is what a reader of the API receives. The signed bias column separates a constant offset from noise.

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.
