How TokenBid works
TokenBid is a public funding-intelligence publication. We collect financing disclosures, map investors, maintain project profiles and develop independent research. This page defines how information is selected, labeled and updated.
1. Information sources
- RootData is the primary structured reference for fundraising rounds, investor relationships and project profiles.
- Official project websites, official X accounts, investor announcements, exchange disclosures and public documents are used for cross-checking.
- Each record should retain a source URL, publication or check date, financing stage, disclosed amount, named investors and the original wording where relevant.
- When sources disagree, the disagreement is shown or the field is marked not disclosed. We do not estimate financing amounts from valuations, program ceilings or social posts.
2. Investment events
- An investment event describes a financing round or other publicly disclosed investment relationship, not a prediction or endorsement.
- Event fields may include project, date, round stage, amount, lead investor, participating investors and source links.
- “Undisclosed” means no reliable public amount was located. It does not mean the project has no financing.
- Program participation, incubation and “backed by” language are labeled separately from a confirmed investment round unless the source explicitly states the investment.
3. Investors
- The investor view groups publicly named investors and shows the projects associated with each investor in the current archive.
- An investor association is not a ranking of investor quality and does not imply endorsement, ownership or continuing support.
- Names are normalized for display but the original source remains available. Similar names are not merged without evidence.
4. Project research
- Research reports analyze product, architecture, team disclosures, financing, token status, security and execution risks.
- Reports distinguish confirmed facts, attributed public claims and open questions, while keeping the analysis focused on useful findings.
- Once a project has a published report, it remains in the archive and is updated when material evidence changes.
- Inclusion is not investment advice, an audit, a rating or a guarantee.
5. Corrections and updates
- Corrections require a reliable source and are logged with the update date and changed field.
- Project teams and investors may submit corrections, but publication does not depend on receiving a reply.
- Historical records are not silently rewritten when the change affects the meaning of an earlier disclosure.
