Same-Name Ticker Ambiguity

  • Issue: Market Blade gathers social media data using token contracts, ticker names, and project-specific context (e.g., tag clouds). However, when multiple projects share the same ticker name, data can overlap, potentially confusing both traders and our system. We use project profiles and context filters to resolve ambiguities, and the system generally performs well in real-world scenarios, but overlaps may arise when projects with identical names exhibit high engagement yet lack detailed differentiation.

  • Impact: This can lead to mixed sentiment signals or inaccurate insights, increasing the risk of misinformed trades for traders holding or tracking same-named tokens.

  • For Traders: Be cautious with portfolios containing same-named projects. Verify project details (e.g., token contracts, official sources) before acting on insights, and cross-check with external resources if uncertainty persists.
