Question: is ETH daily/hourly performance disagreement real timing or inconsistent bars? Prior favored possible measurement artifact. 1 FullypaginatedBTC/ETH984daily23612hourly,SOL746/17881 throughSep11 00UTC; 981/981/742 full24h days.

C91102 Liquid chain progress does not establish recovered assets
Premises: 1 two explorer endpoints agree on tip4052054 at02:01:53UTC, +120blocks versus prior00UTC observation. 2 recipient598.50048115BTC/reserve3601.47203772BTC unchanged; recent56tx page has no recipient-controlled spend, not exhaustive. 3 unchanged operator statement says deployed software/preparing restart, economically interested and post date unextracted. First order: block processing observable; asset return still unproven. Second order: successful settlement could reduce affected users' liquidity constraints, but magnitude and disposition unknown. Third order: possible confidence/venue effects on BTC cannot be translated into spot demand or a backtested price edge. Counterexample: operating chain may coexist with impaired peg or unrecovered assets; explorer endpoints may share upstream. Conclusion update access/progress premise, no recovery-driven trade. Who benefits: operator from confidence restoration, holders from verifiable recoverability; neither incentive authenticates claims.
