SFI#1273 by market cap

Qualifies for a record and its pages are captured daily, but the record has not been written yet.

saffron.finance is for fixed interest. We have not written its record yet, so its promises are not checked. It trades at $123.08, #1207 of all coins by size, 96% below its highest ever price.

This week Nothing changed on its record.

A real job, real backing. No dated promises on its pages. Nothing dated ahead. #2 of 6 fixed interests. Nothing to be careful of on the record.

Is it real?

The gap, and what to do

It is already worth more than the typical coin in Fixed Interest ($4.54M). To match the leader, Pendle ($409.64M), its price would need to rise 4126%, to about $5,202.

Still to check

  • No dated promise on record yet, so delivery cannot be judged
  • Listed on fewer than two big exchanges
  • Only 3 headlines named it last month

What to do Nothing dated is ahead and nothing has been delivered on record. There is no event to wait for yet, which is itself the answer.

A gap is not a forecast. Most small coins never close it. The site never picks.

Four tests, printed. Passing all four means a real job, real backing, something ahead, and a price far below the leader of its group. A filter on facts, never a verdict.

Every line has a source: the coin's own listing, CoinGecko's tags, the record, or the news feed. Reputation here is a count, never an opinion.

Does it deliver?

No dated promise has been found on the pages this project publishes. Its pages are saved every night, so anything it commits to from now on appears here.

What is next, and when?

Nothing dated has been found on its pages, so there is no date to wait for yet.

How big is it next to its rivals?

Same job, different how

Fixed Interest: this coin next to Pendle, the biggest rival within reach. People go to the bigger coin unless the smaller one does something it does not.

saffron.finance says
Saffron is a new fixed yield DeFi primitive.
Pendle says
Pendle describes itself as a platform for trading crypto yield.

Two claims, side by side, in their own words. Whether the difference is real is for the record to show over time, and for you to judge.

What it is

Saffron is a new fixed yield DeFi primitive. Saffron vaults split fees earned on Uniswap into fixed and variable yield.

Problem it says it solves: fixed interest. 6 coins are working on it and together they are worth $436,199,698. This coin is 2% of that.

Where it trades: Uniswap V3, Bilaxy, Gate, Uniswap V2, Sushiswap

Each bar is a coin's worth today (price × coins out), longest first. The lit bar is this coin; grey bars are the others doing the same job.

Bars are market cap. Order is size, nothing else. Differences are measured from the coin you are looking at.

What should make me careful?

Nothing printed today

None of the six tests fails. A missed promise counts only on a record a person has checked.

What it says is different: Saffron is a new fixed yield DeFi primitive. Saffron vaults split fees earned on Uniswap into fixed and variable yield.

It is 2.4% the size of Pendle. On the facts above it is behind on major exchanges, headlines, last month. For that gap to close, the record would need deliveries showing up in its record, news that names it, listings on major exchanges. Nothing here says it will; the site does not predict.

The tests: nothing to hold it for, more missed than delivered, priced ahead of its record, half the supply still to come, rivals ship while it does not, a big release of coins soon.

The homework: the coin itself, the news, the record

80%

of all SFI that will ever exist is already out in public hands: 80.1K coins.

20% (19.9K coins) is already created but not in public hands, held by the project or locked in escrow. That is a small share. Those coins can be sold later, which can push the price down.

out held back. Each dot is 1%.

Its pages do not say what holding it gets you

That is worth knowing before buying. A coin nobody needs is priced on hope.

That is all a market cap is: today's price times the coins in public hands. It moves every time the price does. It says what buyers are paying, not what the coin is worth.

Basics
  • 80%of the maximum supply is in circulation: 80.1K of 100K.
  • 19.9Kcoins still to be released, 20% of the maximum. Releases can add selling pressure.
  • 1.2×fully diluted value versus today's market cap. The gap is coins not yet released.
  • 4%of its all-time high of $3,496 on 19 February 2021. That is −96.5% from the top.
  • #1207by market cap, $9,692,727.
  • Not checkedwho holds the most coins, and how much has been burned. Those need on-chain data this site does not read yet.
