How Atlas decides what is real.
A transparent explanation of how Atlas identifies assets, displays market data, verifies sources and handles missing information.
What Atlas tracks
Atlas tracks curated tokenized real-world assets using verified contract or mint addresses rather than ticker matching. Each record connects an asset to its issuer, underlying exposure, network, access model and primary source material.
Market observations
Price, volume and visible liquidity are observations from public upstream market sources. A missing value is shown as unavailable rather than estimated. Public-market visibility does not imply executable depth, eligibility or investment suitability.
Verification states
- Contract verified: the address is matched to an issuer, product, regulator or curated official source.
- Issuer verified: Atlas has attached a primary issuer/product source to the asset record.
- Market observed: an upstream public market source returned a current observation.
- Access disclosed: the record includes a known eligibility/access label sourced from issuer materials or product documentation.
Documents
The Atlas Documents library prioritizes official issuer material and regulatory filings. Dates refer to document publication/update dates where known. Atlas does not treat third-party commentary as primary documentation.
Catalogue dates
“Added to Atlas” dates are internal catalogue dates. They are not issuance dates, exchange-listing dates or the date an asset first traded on-chain.
No investment recommendation
Atlas is a market-intelligence and research interface. Rankings, maps, comparisons, verification labels and market metrics are descriptive and are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold any asset.
Atlas Verified
Atlas Verified is an evidence status, not a quality score. A verified statement means Atlas has attached an identified source supporting that specific record field.
- Verified: identity or documentation has a linked source.
- Disclosed: the relevant product characteristic is explicitly represented in the Atlas record and linked to primary issuer/product material.
- Observed: Atlas's current upstream market feed reports the condition, such as a public market.
- Not found: Atlas does not currently have sufficient evidence for the claim.
- Not applicable: the check does not apply to that product.
Atlas Verified does not mean safe, regulator-approved, risk-free, liquid, legally available to a particular user or suitable for investment. It means the displayed record is backed by identified evidence for the specific claims shown.
