Why the number of observations beats the average percentage

We print the number of observations next to the percentage for a reason. 6 observations is 6 observations: on a sample that size a pattern cannot be told apart from coincidence. Interesting to look at, not something to plan around.

How to use this

Where to check the SOL price across exchanges

What is useful right now comes down to three things, all of them computed from live data rather than history.

The SOL price gap between exchanges

SOL costs different amounts on different exchanges, and that gap is visible in the cross-exchange scanner: it shows where the coin is cheaper and where it is dearer right now.

How much SOL you can actually buy at that price

Before a large purchase it is worth checking the order books — they show how much you can actually take at a given price, not just the best offer.

Moving SOL between platforms

And if the coin has to move between venues, the transfers section shows which network is cheaper.
