Put up to four markets on the same ruler. The shapes do most of the explaining.

Stablecoins 28 Moderate Engineered to sit still on volatility, while every other risk axis stays as wide as the rest of crypto.
Freelance labour & time 25 Moderate The oldest tradeable thing on the site, now rated and escrowed by platforms — and the only one where you are the supply.

In a sentence	Tokens engineered to hold a fixed value against a currency — the settlement rail underneath most crypto trading, and a genuine question mark on the quality of their backing.	The oldest tradeable thing there is, now listed, rated, escrowed and priced on global platforms like any other commodity.
Unit	One token, nominally one unit of the reference currency	An hour, a day, or a defined deliverable
Smallest realistic trade	Fractions of a token	A single small job
Settlement	On-chain, near-instant	Escrow release on acceptance, or invoice terms

The fingerprint measures how demanding a market is to take part in. It is not a rating or a recommendation.
