Where the numbers come from
Locksley does not yet run its own indexer. Every number on this site comes from a named external source, and the source is shown wherever the number appears. There are exactly two: GeckoTerminal for token market data, and DeFiLlama for chain TVL. When Locksley begins computing its own figures, this page will say so before the first one is published.
Token market data — via GeckoTerminal
The Explore screener's prices, 24-hour changes, buys and sells, volume, liquidity and pair ages come from GeckoTerminal's public API, which indexes the decentralised exchanges on Robinhood Chain. Locksley requests fresh data continuously and serves it through a cache; the figures you see are typically minutes old at most, and the screener serves its last-good data with its original timestamp if the source is briefly unreachable. Locksley computes nothing on top of these figures — gainers and losers are ranked within the top pools by volume, as labeled on the page.
What this data cannot promise: it is pair-based, so a token trading in several pools appears as several pairs; reported liquidity is the pool's paper value and says nothing about what a real sale would fetch; and where a figure is unavailable — market cap is the common case — Locksley shows a dash rather than an estimate. We do not publish circulating supply or market capitalisation because neither can be verified from chain data alone.
Chain TVL — via DeFiLlama
The total-value-locked figure for Robinhood Chain comes from DeFiLlama's public chain TVL series, refreshed hourly and labeled with its source everywhere it appears. DeFiLlama's own methodology governs what counts as TVL; Locksley applies no adjustments.
How the news wire is built
Locksley does not write news and does not republish it. Every headline opens the publisher's own page. Automated price-tracker and price-prediction pages are excluded. The wire carries third-party coverage of Robinhood's crypto business, Robinhood Chain, and Robinhood the company. Robinhood's own web pages and automated price-tracker pages are excluded.
We collect headlines from a fixed list of outlets, and we will rank the daily brief by how many independently reporting outlets covered the same story — not by how interesting we found it, and not by who published first. Wire syndication, press-release pickup and outlets under common ownership will be collapsed to one source before anything is counted, and the rule that does the collapsing is published below. A story carried by four independently reporting outlets will rank above a story carried by one. Each item will name every outlet that ran it, and every group it collapsed.
Where a story is attached to a token page, it is because the story's text names that token — by its cashtag or its registered project name, matched exactly. We do not infer what a story is “about”. We report who published it and what it names. Most tokens will never have a story attached, and an empty news section means exactly that: nothing named it.
Will be ranked by how many independently reporting outlets covered it, syndication collapsed. Attached to a token only when the story names it. Never summarised into a claim we could not stand behind, and never rewritten.
Two classes of pages are excluded at intake: Robinhood's own web pages — the wire carries coverage of the company, never the company's site — and automated price-tracker and price-prediction pages. Items must concern Robinhood's crypto business, Robinhood Chain, or Robinhood the company. Every story ever collected is kept in an archive, and the wire always serves the newest stories it holds, stamped with the time of the last successful collection. The wire is chronological. Nothing on it is ranked.
The video library
The Watch page is a hand-picked list of third-party videos: interviews with the people building the chain, outside analysis, and — deliberately — the strongest criticism we could find. Titles and channel names are pulled live from YouTube so they are never misquoted. Inclusion is editorial judgment about signal, not endorsement of any claim made in any video; the bear-case section exists so the case against is always one click away.
Locks and escrow
Locksley does not currently read or display lock or escrow state. This section describes the method that will apply when lock tracking ships.
The ranked daily brief
The ranked brief has not launched, and the wire makes no ranking claims. The ranking method — counting independently reporting outlets, with syndicated copy and common ownership collapsed first — was published here in draft form and is preserved in the changelog; it returns to this page when the brief ships, before the first brief is published.
What this data cannot tell you
Listed here rather than at the bottom, because a limitation nobody reads is not a disclosure.
- Whether a token is safe. We do not rate, score or grade anything, and no combination of the numbers here amounts to one.
- Whether escrowed liquidity will still be there tomorrow. Escrow ends at a stated time. What happens at that moment is a decision by a person, and we cannot see it coming.
- Whether the team is honest. Nothing on-chain speaks to this.
- Whether a contract has hidden behaviour — a mint function, a transfer tax, a blocklist, an upgrade path. Reading balances does not read code.
- Who is behind an address. We label an address only when we can read what it is, and say so plainly when we cannot.
- Whether a large holder is one person. An exchange, a bridge, a market maker and a whale look the same from here.
- What a token is worth in dollars, exactly. Prices in RHC are exact. Every dollar figure converts through an external RHC/USD rate and is only as good as that rate.
- Anything about the future. There are no forecasts, targets or predictions anywhere on this site, and there never will be.
How old is a number?
Every data surface shows its source, and stale data is labeled with the time it was last fetched rather than passed off as current. If a published figure turns out to have been wrong in a way that could change a reader's conclusion, we correct it and log the correction permanently — date, old value, new value, and cause. Corrections go through the contact page — choose 'A correction' — and we respond within two days.

Changelog
A change to how a number is computed can change the number without anyone touching the data. Those changes are listed here, with what they did to previously published figures.
v3.0 — 26 Aug 2026. Rewritten to match the shipped site. All market data is sourced from GeckoTerminal and chain TVL from DeFiLlama, with attribution at point of display. Withdrawn until they exist: Locksley's own indexer, sell-side depth, holder counts, supply metrics, per-token verification data, and data-freshness tiers, all of which earlier versions of this page described. Lock reading and the ranked brief remain not yet live. Earlier methods remain in this changelog's history.
| Date | Version | What changed | Effect on published figures |
|---|---|---|---|
| 21 Aug 2026 | 2.2 | The brief’s ranking claim was corrected, and the rule behind it published. “Ranked by how many outlets carried a story” became how many independently reporting outlets carried it, with wire syndication, press-release pickup and outlets under common ownership collapsed to one source first. The clustering rule and the publisher-group table are new sections. | No published figure changed, because the brief has not shipped. The old wording was purchasable for about $10,799 and we should not have written it. Corrected in eight places across five pages. |
| 20 Aug 2026 | 2.1 | Escrow is now measured in quote asset (RHC), not as a share of pool liquidity. Added sell-side depth. Added the position-range display on token pages. | Escrow percentages changed for every token. The old figure was a share of liquidity; the new one is a share of the RHC in the pool. They are not comparable. |
| 20 Aug 2026 | 2.1 | Market capitalisation withdrawn. Fully diluted value replaces it. | Market cap no longer appears anywhere. Holder concentration is now expressed against total supply, so those percentages fell. |
| 20 Aug 2026 | 2.1 | “Makers” withdrawn as a published figure. | Removed from token pages. It could be manufactured for the price of gas, and we should not have shipped it. |
| 11 Aug 2026 | 2.0 | Holder counts now exclude balances under one dollar, and exclude 0x…dEaD. | Holder counts fell for tokens that had received dust airdrops. Concentration percentages rose slightly. |
| 2 Jul 2026 | 1.0 | First published. | — |

Who can change this, and how to argue with it
This document is changed by the Locksley editorial and engineering team together — a change to how a number is computed cannot ship without both. Every change is proposed in public before it takes effect, and lands here with a changelog entry and a new version number.
If you think a figure is wrong, say so. Send the token, the figure, the block height printed on the page and what you computed instead, through the contact page. We will reply within two working days, and if you are right the correction goes in the log above with your finding credited unless you would rather it were not.
If a project believes its own escrow is being displayed incorrectly, the same address applies and the same rule holds: we will not change a displayed figure because a project asked us to. We will change it if it is wrong.
