connected to their origin.

    Current coverage
    Ethereum mainnet and the approved USDC / USDT contract scope. No wallet intent or Smart Money labels.

    Block identity and chain timestamps are retained. Repeated blocks do not create duplicate observations.

Public access to a source does not expand DALQEN’s display rights. Restricted observations remain private when retention, redistribution, or public-display terms require it.
