It counts what each project actually put into production between 1 July and 29 September 2026, with a date and an official source for every milestone.

Bitcoin has now surpassed 78,900 dollars after Wednesday's drop. BTC trades around 78,800 dollars, with a rise of more than 2% during the day. The movement also benefits several altcoins.
