How this site's figures are produced

This page explains where each record on this site comes from, how often it is read, and what a reader should not conclude from it. The site reports what regulators publish and what domain registries record; it does not rank, score, or call any venue safe.

Three records and what question each can answer

The licence table is taken from the list the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas publishes of the virtual asset service providers it has licensed. That list answers one question: which providers the central bank has given a licence to operate under its rules. A licence is a permission, not a guarantee of conduct, and the list is a snapshot read once a week.

The advisory table is taken from the Securities and Exchange Commission's advisories section and shows advisories that concern crypto assets. An advisory is a warning or a notice to the public; it does not by itself prove that a named entity has broken a law. The domain table shows the creation date recorded in the public registration data of the website names appearing in those records.

What a weekly read of a licence list can and cannot catch

Both the Bangko Sentral's list and the SEC's advisories are read once a week. That means a change published between reads is not reflected until the next read. A weekly read catches what the source published as of the read date; it does not catch anything the source has not published or has published but not yet made available.

A weekly read also does not catch a licence that has been revoked but not yet removed from the published list, or an advisory that has been withdrawn but still appears. The site records what the source shows at the moment of reading, and the date shown is the date the source published it. The reader should confirm on the regulator's own site before acting.

How the domain creation date is obtained and why it is a clue only

The domain table shows the creation date recorded in the public registration data of the website names appearing in the licence and advisory records. Registration data is supplied by the registrar and can be hidden or changed; a creation date is not evidence of anything by itself. A young domain is not wrongdoing, and an old domain is not trust.

A rebranded venue may move to a new domain, and a domain can be bought second-hand. The creation date is one clue among many: it shows when the domain was first registered, not when the business began or whether it is honest. The site reports the date as the registry records it, with no interpretation of what that date means for safety.

What the site refuses to infer from any of the three

No venue is ranked, scored or called safe on this site. A venue absent from the licence list is not shown to be unlawful by that fact alone; the site reports only what is listed. An entity named in an advisory is not called a scam or a fraud; the advisory is a regulator's act, and the reader decides what to make of it.

The site does not combine the three records into a single score, and it does not promise that a check makes a platform safe. The tables sit side by side so the reader can compare, but each row is what its source published, not a finding of ours. The dates shown are those of the source, except the domain date, which is the registry's creation date.
