| Source | DefiLlama, daily fees by protocol, Launchpad category (https://defillama.com/fees/chains) |

## Settlement

Why this grade: Fees are money paid on chain, so moving the number costs the fees themselves. Not for settlement yet: DefiLlama's terms bar commercial use without its written consent, and reading the thirteen launchpads' fees from their chains needs a node whose terms allow it (checked Oct 5 2026). The thirteen constituents are named on this page; a change to them is a new rulebook version.
What it costs to move: Expensive. Adding a dollar to the day means paying a dollar in launchpad fees, in public.
When the source is late: DefiLlama publishes a day about a day late. Until the day lands, it stays open and nothing settles. A day that never lands is void.
Precision: US dollars, as DefiLlama reports each launchpad, summed across the thirteen and rounded to the cent.
