Price Integrity
What Price Integrity does
A token has a price you see quoted, and a price the market can really fill. Price Integrity compares the two. It reads the pool the token trades in, works out what a small trade would fill at, sets that against the quoted reference price, and shows you the gap between them.
When to use it
Use it before you buy or sell, when you want to answer two plain questions: is this quoted price something I could actually trade at, and how much size can I move without pushing the price against myself?
A wide gap between the quoted price and the tradeable price usually means the pool is thin or the quote has not caught up. Thin pools also mean the price is easy for someone else to move.
Where to find it
Open the Cognivo dApp and choose Price Integrity in the left sidebar. The page opens with a Network dropdown and a Token address field. Price Integrity covers Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain.
- Choose the network you want to check from the Network dropdown.
- Read the notice below the form to see whether the check is ready on that network. Cognivo leaves it unavailable rather than showing a figure it cannot verify.
Cognivo never guesses the network. If you open a shared link that carries a token address but does not say which network the token is on, Cognivo puts the address into the field, holds the check, and shows Pick the network first. The same address can exist on more than one network, and checking the wrong one gives a wrong answer.
What comes back
When the check runs, Cognivo lays the answer out in sections rather than a single number.
What you can actually trade at shows the Price you can trade at, worked out from the live reserves in the token's deepest pool, next to the Quoted price and the Gap between the two. Cognivo also names the pool the tradeable price came from under Priced from.
How much size this market can take shows Money in the priced pool and the Size that moves the price 1%. Treat that size as a rough ceiling for an entry or an exit. Go much bigger and you start paying noticeably more than the quoted price.
Alongside those, Cognivo shows Read at, so you know when the prices were taken, a Confidence signal describing how much of the comparison it could complete, and Network checked, so the answer can never be labelled with a network it did not run on.
When a number is missing
Cognivo shows the reason instead of a blank or a zero. Missing legs are collected under What Cognivo could not work out, and each one comes with a sentence explaining it. You may see that no quoted price is published for the token, that no trading pool was found on that network, that the pool price is only known against its pair token so the gap cannot be measured in dollars, or that the pool's depth could not be read.
If Cognivo has no verified market or venue data for the token at all, it says so and shows no price. None of these outcomes is a verdict on the token. A missing market means Cognivo could not verify it, not that the token is a scam, and a clean comparison does not mean the token is safe.
Some networks are still being wired up. When that is the case, the page says the analysis is in active development for that network and stays unavailable until the data is ready. Cognivo does not fill the gap with a figure it cannot verify.
Limits to keep in mind
The quoted price, the venue and the depth come from Cognivo Market Intelligence, which is market data rather than a direct read of chain state, so it can lag or differ from the exact position on chain. The depth and the price movement figures describe one pool, so another pool or a router may fill differently. There is no blended multi venue depth here. On some networks Cognivo reads a blended market price and no separate pool price, so there is no second number to check it against, and it says so instead of inventing one.
Cost
Price Integrity is free. It does not spend credits. If a Cognivo tool does carry a cost, the price is quoted before anything runs and is only charged after you agree and only when a real result comes back. See Billing and credits for the full picture.
Next steps
To see whether the liquidity behind that pool is locked or burned, use the Liquidity view. To check who holds the supply that sits behind the price, use Holder concentration. For how Cognivo separates a direct chain read from enriched market data, read Grounded vs augmented evidence.
