Weekend freeze · 2026-07-31 → 2026-08-03 · reconstructed

Nobody watched this weekend live. It was rebuilt afterwards from on-chain round history and hourly DEX candles. The oracle side is exact — those rounds are on the chain and you can read them yourself. Spot is one pool's hourly close rather than the blended price the live watcher reads, so every divergence below is a floor, not a peak.

of 24h volume traded against reference prices that were not updating. Observed across 157 reads over 52 hours.

This happens every weekend. US equity markets close, the Chainlink feeds behind these tokens stop publishing — documented behaviour, not a malfunction — and the tokens keep trading anyway. The feeds unfroze at 00:00 UTC Monday, as they do every week.

15 drifted from the frozen reference

Peak drift over the weekend, not the value at the end: a gap that opened on Saturday and closed on Sunday still opened. Thin pools are excluded — under $50k of reserve a wide quote is noise rather than a dislocation.
