Chart your route through the stablecoin market

Pharos is a stablecoin risk monitoring platform. Start with one route below, learn the core terms, then branch into monitoring, research, yield, or alerts only when you need more.

Experienced users can skip this entirely. Everyone else gets the shortest path into Pharos before touching the full product map.

How to read Pharos

Learn the concepts before the acronyms.

You do not need every formula on day one. These are the terms that unlock most of the interface. For the technical model details, move to methodology.

Open methodology
Peg
The target price a stablecoin is designed to hold — usually $1 for USD stablecoins, but also EUR, GBP, gold, and other reference values.
Depeg
When a stablecoin's market price drifts away from its target. Small deviations are common; sustained or sharp moves are the danger signal.
Peg score
How tightly a stablecoin has held its target over time, including penalties for real depeg events.
DEWS
Early warning system. Detects stress building in a stablecoin before a visible depeg event occurs.
Safety score
The composite risk grade that rolls peg behavior, liquidity, resilience, decentralization, and dependency into one view.
Liquidity score
A 0-100 measure of how easily you can trade in or out of a stablecoin on-chain.
Dependency risk
How much a stablecoin depends on other stablecoins or their backing assets — hidden exposure that can cascade during stress.
PYS
Pharos Yield Score. Adjusts raw yield for the safety of the asset producing that yield.
PSI
Pharos Stability Index. The market-wide stress barometer for the whole stablecoin system.

Once you know where to start, this map helps you branch into the rest of the product without wandering.

Surveillance

Monitor

Use these when you want the market picture first and the narrative second.

Due diligence

Research

Use these when you are evaluating one asset or trying to understand what sits underneath it.

Power moves

Once you are oriented, speed the workflow up.

These shortcuts matter more after the first visit, but they are worth learning early because they remove a lot of friction from repeat use.

Navigation

Search fast

Press Ctrl/Cmd+K from anywhere to jump straight to a coin page or route.

Best when you already know the ticker and do not want to navigate manually.

Works from any page

Discovery

Browse by category

Use the peg, backing, and governance landing pages when you want to scan a category instead of a ticker.

Good for questions like 'show me EUR stablecoins' or 'which DeFi names are crypto-backed'.

Automation
