What this is
Layer-1 blockchainAB (formerly Newton Project) is a chain conceived as a blockchain for everyday matters: retail purchases, loyalty programmes, supply chains. The project has run since 2018, changed its name and positioning, and essentially remains infrastructure in search of a use. It is instructive as a class: chains that promised a blockchain for everything usually end up, years later, without a single task where they are the required solution.

How to read this
- Funding is a payment between longs and shorts. A positive rate means longs pay shorts: the market is crowded long.
- The rate rank shows how unusual that rate is for this particular coin: 97 means above 97% of the last month, a rare skew. Without the rank the bare number says nothing — every coin has its own normal.
- Open interest is the money sitting in positions that are still open. Rising alongside price means new money entering; rising while price falls means shorts building up.
- The OI rank is measured in contracts rather than dollars: otherwise it would drift up with price alone and claim a record where nothing changed.
- NATR shows how much a coin moves relative to its own price. High NATR with high turnover is where today's action is.
