Evidence layer for stock-linked token research
See what a token represents.
EquiTrace maps what a stock-linked token claims to represent to its contract, its market data, and the evidence behind it. What can't be verified is marked, not hidden.
The report
One page. Every claim linked to its evidence.
Sample layout with placeholder values. A real report shows live data, each value with its source and timestamp.
1 · Token identity
Chain: Selected chain · Address: 0x… · Contract source: Not verified · Proxy: Not detected
2 · Reference mapping
3 · Market snapshot
- Token priceUnavailable
- 24h volumePartial
- Liquidity proxyStale
- Reference priceFresh
4 · Token / reference comparison
Not calculated
The conversion ratio is missing, so EquiTrace does not show a price deviation. A misleading percentage is worse than no number.
5 · Investigation signals
- Needs review
Owner or admin privileges remain active.
- Observed
Contract source is unverified on the explorer.
- Not verified
The reference asset is a project claim with no independent source.
Market and chain data can change. Read-only share link available on every report.
Method
Four kinds of information. Never blended.
On-chain
What the contract shows
Chain, address, decimals, deployment, source verification, proxy status, admin controls and holder concentration.
Claim
What the project claims
The reference asset, ticker and conversion ratio a project or issuer states, with a link to where it says so.
Market
What market data shows
Price, 24-hour volume, a liquidity proxy and trade count from a named provider, each with a timestamp.
Unknown
What we can't verify
Missing, stale or conflicting data is labeled as such. Gaps are shown. They are never filled in.
How it works
From address to evidence in six steps.
- 01
Search
Enter a token address, or a symbol or reference ticker when the mapping is unambiguous.
- 02
Resolve
EquiTrace resolves the token and shows the reference asset it is proposed to represent.
- 03
Label the mapping
The mapping is marked Verified, Claimed or Unknown, based on the evidence available.
- 04
Load public data
Contract, market and reference-price data are pulled from named public sources.
- 05
Calculate where valid
Activity, liquidity, concentration, freshness and price deviation, only when the inputs make them meaningful.
- 06
Read, cite, share
A readable report with evidence links, timestamps, limitations and a read-only share link.
Labels
Status you can read without color.
Every label pairs a text name with a distinct shape, so meaning never depends on a shade.
Reference mapping
- VerifiedConfirmed by a reliable source we cite.
- ClaimedStated by a project or issuer. Not confirmed.
- UnknownNo mapping evidence was found.
Data freshness
- FreshWithin the configured freshness window.
- StaleExists, but older than the window.
- PartialSome required fields are missing.
- UnavailableNo usable value was retrieved.
Signals
Signals, not a score.
No single unexplained rating. Each signal is a transparent rule with its evidence attached. They are prompts to investigate, not proof of fraud, backing, solvency or legal status.
Reference and identity
- Reference asset verified, claimed, or unknown
- Symbol is ambiguous or reused across assets
- Conversion ratio is missing or inconsistent
- Project and contract metadata disagree
Contract and control
- Contract source verified or unverified
- Proxy or upgradeable implementation detected
- Minting, pausing, blacklist or transfer controls detected
- Holder concentration above the selected threshold
Market
- Liquidity is low or unavailable
- Volume is low, stale, or concentrated in a short period
- Token price diverges from the comparable reference price
- Trading hours do not line up with the reference market
Principles
An information layer. Nothing else.
EquiTrace is not
A broker. An exchange. A custodian. An issuer. A trading bot.
So it never asks for
A wallet connection. A private key. A trade. A personal recommendation.
It will not call a token backed, safe, compliant or equivalent to a share unless that exact claim is independently verified and cited.
Built for
People who need the evidence first.
Crypto users
Researching a stock-linked token before discussing or trading it elsewhere.
Moderators
Checking the claims people make about a token in their community.
Researchers
Comparing token activity with a reference company or equity symbol.
Builders
Who need a clean, evidence-linked market and contract snapshot.
