As a key metric for evaluating cryptocurrencies, FCAS (Fundamental Crypto Asset Score) is distributed by many blockchain analytics providers, including CoinMarketCap, Messari, MarketWatch and TheStreet.

OKEx is the first cryptocurrency exchange to feature FCAS directly on its platform, thereby removing the extra step of opening up a separate webpage to access the data.

Just click on any asset you want to trade (i.e. XRP below), and you can assess and compare its fundamental health without any additional research.

FCAS is a comparative metric, comprised of three major factors: user activity, developer behavior, and market maturity. Together, they provide a framework to assess an asset’s potential growth.

User activity measures how active users are in the network. It analyzes volume, addresses, transactions and event types in order to identify growth.

Developer Behavior measures protocol updates. It compares software development activity to assess improvements.

Market Maturity measures risk and liquidity. It compares the likelihood of consistent yield returns across various market scenarios, and combines market risk assessments.
