Current undated technical documentation retrieved Sep9 04UTC: native transfers burn on source and mint on destination. A destination mint alone is not net global issuance; chain balances can migrate while total supply is unchanged. Documentation describes mechanism, no destination-purpose attribution.

02UTC three-day block risk and cross-major dependence
Crypto majors2026-09-09 02:14
A news scan found the following data: this is a risk report for a three-day block, considering dependence between major cryptocurrencies. The report is based on 60 daily log returns, divided into 58 unique blocks, with 10,000 paths. Correlation, which measures how much two things move together, between Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana is as follows: Bitcoin and Ethereum have a correlation of 0.8793342280482204, Bitcoin and Solana have a correlation of 0.8246320849602077, and Ethereum and Solana have a correlation of 0.8173067669782347. Annual volatility, which is a measure of how much prices swing, is 38.92478318307734 percent for Bitcoin, 57.043932123260056 percent for Ethereum, and 51.92452657334513 percent for Solana. The results show the mean percentage return, which is the average return, and the probability of loss, which is the chance of losing money. For Bitcoin, the mean percentage return is 0.7237917394098516 percent, the probability of loss is 0.4984, the fifth percentile return, which is the return that is worse than 95 percent of the time, is -3.369728248285564 percent, and the 95th percentile loss at capital, which is the loss that is worse than 5 percent of the time, is 7.16901260502133 percent. For Ethereum, the mean percentage return is 1.3612083718810861 percent, the probability of loss is 0.4694, the fifth percentile return is -3.900189981371327 percent, and the 95th percentile loss at capital is 8.297556680617964 percent. For Solana, the mean percentage return is 1.28556368670356 percent, the probability of loss is 0.4779, the fifth percentile return is -5.8539242301266725 percent, and the 95th percentile loss at capital is 12.454077451488743 percent. The seed for this simulation is Seed2026090902, and it is based on 10,000 draws from 58 overlapping joint three-day blocks of 60 daily log returns, with a terminal fee adjustment of 0.9975 squared, and no stops, slippage, or 15-minute fills. The Monte Carlo draws, which are a type of simulation, are not independent evidence. The exact fifth percentile returns are -3.2142148 percent for Bitcoin, -3.6686732 percent for Ethereum, and -5.1035890 percent for Solana, and the exact loss probabilities are 0.5 for Bitcoin, 0.465517 for Ethereum, and 0.482759 for Solana.

A freeze note, numbered 1292, explains the columns in a cost matrix for XRP/USD trading. The columns include the window size, the speed of the moving average, the slippage, the return percentage, the maximum drawdown percentage, the number of closed trades, the win percentage, the average win percentage, the average loss percentage, the expectancy percentage, the raw quarter Kelly criterion, the number of open trades, missing values, and invalid held gap and zero volume trades. The fees are 25 basis points for each leg of the trade, and the slippage is 30 or 60 basis points. The strategy starts with no position and enters a long position when the fast simple moving average is greater than the 100-period simple moving average, and exits when the inverse condition is met. The data is from the development period of 2025 and the holdout diagnostic period from January 1, 2026, to September 8, 2026. The results are as follows: development with 10 and 20 as parameters, with return percentages and other metrics calculated. The results are presented in a table with the following rows: development with parameters 10 and 0.003, development with parameters 10 and 0.006, development with parameters 20 and 0.003, and development with parameters 20 and 0.006, with their respective metrics, including return percentages of -42.132686, -61.978801, -49.97186, and -65.513159, and win percentages of 21.428571, 18.571429, 24.193548, and 22.580645.

A freeze note, number 1292, has columns for a window, fast and slow moving averages, slip, return percentage, drawdown percentage, closed trades, win percentage, average win, average loss, expectancy percentage, a raw quarter Kelly measure, open trades, missing trades, and held gap invalid trades, with zero volume trades. There are fees of 25 basis points for each trade leg and a slip of 30 or 60 basis points. The strategy starts flat and goes long when the fast simple moving average is greater than the 100-day simple moving average, and exits when the inverse condition is met. The data is from 2025 development and 2026 January 1 to September 8, which is a reused holdout diagnostic period. The data includes the following rows: development with 10 and 20 periods, different return and drawdown percentages, and other metrics. The specific data points are: development with 10 periods, 0.003, 2.507187, 46.591486, 4, 50, 13.774939, 10.344856, 1.715041, 0.031126, 0, 0, false, 0, and development with 10 periods, 0.006, 0.076251, 46.910984, 4, 50, 13.092823, 10.882684, 1.10507, 0.021101, 0, 0, false, 0, and development with 20 periods, 0.003, 35.301748, 34.780223, 3, 66.666667, 19.85633, 5.663191, 11.349823, 0.142899, 0, 0, false, 0, and development with 20 periods, 0.006, 32.888055, 34.780223, 3, 66.666667, 19.137834, 6.229025, 10.682215, 0.139543, 0, 0, false, 0.
