Frequently Asked Questions

CryptoBench is the first statistical efficiency rating system for cryptocurrencies, inspired by KenPom's basketball analytics. Instead of just showing prices and market caps, we analyze risk-adjusted returns, volatility control, and market efficiency to help you identify the best-performing assets beyond simple price movements.

The CBR combines multiple factors: risk-adjusted returns, volatility control, liquidity depth, momentum strength, and support reliability. This creates a comprehensive efficiency score that goes beyond simple price performance to measure true market quality.

Rankings are updated every 30 seconds using real-time market data from CoinGecko API. Our algorithms continuously analyze price movements, volume patterns, and technical indicators to ensure you have the most current efficiency ratings.

Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies specifically designed to maintain a stable value, usually pegged to the US dollar. Unlike other cryptocurrencies that can be highly volatile, stablecoins like USDT, USDC, and DAI are engineered to stay around $1.00. We include them in our rankings because they're major market participants with significant trading volume and market caps, but we mark them with badges so you understand their stable price behavior is intentional, not poor performance.

CryptoBench ratings help identify efficient assets, but they're not investment advice. High ratings indicate better risk-adjusted performance and market quality, but you should consider your risk tolerance, investment goals, and do additional research before making any investment decisions.

Security is crucial in crypto. Never leave large amounts on exchanges - only keep what you're actively trading. Use strong passwords and enable 2FA everywhere. For long-term storage, consider a hardware wallet like Ledger which keeps your private keys offline and away from hackers. Always write down your seed phrases and store them securely offline.

Volatility measures price swings, while our risk metrics analyze downside protection and drawdown recovery. An asset can be volatile but still have good risk management if it recovers quickly from dips and maintains upward trends over time.

We analyze the top 500+ cryptocurrencies by market cap, plus emerging assets with significant volume. Assets must meet minimum liquidity requirements to ensure accurate statistical analysis. Very small or illiquid tokens may not have reliable efficiency metrics.

A high CBR (90+) indicates an asset with excellent risk-adjusted performance, strong liquidity, controlled volatility, and reliable technical support. These assets typically offer better risk/reward profiles for both short-term trading and long-term holding.

We don't make price predictions. CryptoBench analyzes current market efficiency and quality metrics. While high-efficiency assets tend to outperform over time, past performance doesn't guarantee future results in the volatile crypto market.
