# Price Source Policy The following describes our policy as the operator of one or more price sources. A price source gathers information about a given pair of assets and transforms it into a single price. ## Relevant Asset Pair(s) The operator provides price sources for multiple asset pairs listed outside of this policy. ## Data sources The operator pulls information from sources that are based on global markets with a tendency toward US markets in the case of market divergence. They also tend toward BCH sale price rather than midmarket price. - Bitpay general rate - Coinbase midmarket rate In the case that the operator determines that it would result in a more predictable behavior, the operator may add or remove price sources, attempting to reasonably match the price behavior of the previously published prices. ## Data processing The operator performs some data processing to ensure availability and consistency of reported prices, including in the case of a market divergence. Processing is summarized as follows: - Start with an ordered list of price sources with Bitpay as the first in the list. - Identify the first available price source - Average the prices of all further available prices sources with the condition that they are within some percent divergence from the first available. ## Changes Changes to this policy will be indicated in the change of its cryptographic hash. ## Availability of This Document This policy is available at `https://generalprotocols.com/price-source-policy`. ## History v1.0.0, 2023-04-08 - Initial publication
