About

Every peg, from on-chain data alone

Beacon is a research-grade stablecoin dashboard modeled on pharos.watch, but rebuilt so that every number traces back to a single source: Allium on-chain data.

The original Pharos blends ~15 sources — CoinGecko, exchange APIs, DefiLlama, reserve attestations and Bluechip ratings. Beacon takes the opposite constraint: Allium only. Everything you see — supply, peg, liquidity, flows, holders, grades — is reconstructed from Allium's stablecoin, DEX and identity datasets. Where Pharos uses off-chain feeds, Beacon substitutes an on-chain proxy and says so, or leaves the gap explicit.

Current snapshot: 238 coins across 26 peg currencies and 42 chains, as of 2026-07-21.

Scoring methodology

Peg score

100 at a perfect peg, decaying linearly to 0 at ±5% deviation. The peg reference is the cohort-median on-chain USD price of all coins sharing a peg currency — an FX-free way to measure deviation for non-USD pegs.

Liquidity score

70% depth (log-scaled DEX TVL, ~$100k → 0, $1B+ → 100) + 30% venue diversity (pools × chains × DEXs). Absent liquidity data is excluded from the composite rather than penalized.

Decentralization score

100 minus the share of supply held by the top-5 attributed holders. Heavy exchange or contract concentration lowers the score.

Supply stability score

Derived from the standard deviation of daily market-cap returns over 30 days. Volatile supply → lower score.

Composite grade & PSI

The composite is a weighted blend (peg 35%, liquidity 25%, decentralization 20%, stability 20%) mapped to A+…F. The Stability Index (PSI) is a market-wide, cap-weighted peg-stress gauge banded from BEDROCK to MELTDOWN.

Layered architecture & provenance

Every metric on this site is traceable back to the raw on-chain record that produced it. Allium organizes data in three layers, each independently accessible:

Layer 1 — Raw on-chain. Blocks, transactions, logs and traces as received from the node, each carrying source, block number and timestamp.
Layer 2 — Decoded / normalized. ABI-decoded events and standardized schemas (transfers, balances, supply).
Layer 3 — Enriched / curated. Labels, pricing and aggregates. Attribution is joined on top of raw data via separate tables — raw records are never overwritten, so any curated figure can be reconstructed from first principles.

Delivery: query any layer in Explorer (SQL), stream full raw + enriched tables to your own Snowflake / BigQuery / Databricks (Datashares), or hit real-time APIs. A rating action can be audited — so every number can be traced to its original chain source.
