Every figure is a dated snapshot from public sources (Oct 10, 2026); fields without a verifiable source show n/a. “Best” marks the stronger value in a row — higher volume or liquidity, lower fees, longer track record. Max leverage is shown as information, not a positive.
TRUE DEX went live in early August 2026 (about $1B lifetime volume by 22 September). The $TRUE token is scheduled to list on TRUE DEX on 15 October 2026 and is not tradable yet. The whitepaper's liquidity vault (TLP) is announced, not launched.
