FROZEN EDITION · 2026-10-05 → 2026-10-11 · CC BY 4.0

State of the Trenches, 2026-W41.

From 2026-10-05 to 2026-10-11, the BlazePhoenix exit probe tested 625 trending tokens on Base, Arbitrum, Robinhood Chain, Optimism; 114 (18.2%) had no sell route the on-chain Quoter could find.

The denominator is tokens that were already trending with real liquidity — the population a buyer is about to enter. Aggregates only, never individual tokens. This edition was computed from the append-only daily series when the week closed and is never revised; any correction is published at /corrections.json.
