Where INDEX stands

INDEX takes no cut of any trade, sells no placement, and rates culture, never price.

INDEX is a small team of collectors who read on-chain art as culture, in a market that treats it as tokens to flip. The independence that matters is independence from the trade itself: no fees, no paid placement, no price targets, no buy or sell calls. We hold, keep buying, and sometimes sell the work we cover, and we tell you that plainly. What we will never do is rate it on price.
