How DexGrade scores stay stable, and every change to the rules

Why a DexGrade grade drops at once on bad news but waits for a second reading before it improves, and a dated list of every change to the scoring rules.

Bad news at once, good news after a second look

A grade gets worse as soon as a reading shows a real problem. A better grade shows only when two readings at least 30 minutes apart agree. Until then the page shows the old grade with the new reading beside it.

This stops one odd reading (a pool we missed, a slow node) from lifting a token for a few minutes, and it means a grade cannot be pushed up by adding money to a pool for a moment.

Liquidity with a margin

Liquidity counts as lower only after two readings in a row agree. To move back up a band it needs a clear margin: $1,500 to leave "almost no liquidity" (which starts under $1,000) and $12,500 to leave "low liquidity" (under $10,000). Liquidity sitting on a line no longer flips the grade.

When liquidity is pulled, the warning stays for up to 3 days unless at least half of the money comes back.

Rules versions

Every grade is saved with the version of the rules that made it. When we change the rules, the history says so, so a change in the rules never looks like a change in the token.

Every change to the rules

2026-11-12: Stable grades: liquidity needs two low readings to lower a grade and a clear margin to raise it; a better grade waits for a second reading 30+ minutes later; a liquidity pull counts for up to 3 days unless the money comes back.

2026-11-11: Track-record cap: young tokens cannot reach the top grades until they have traded for a while.
