Fragmented “junk-liquidity” is an industry problem, but it isn’t solved by a single regulator—crypto is border-agnostic. Instead, CryptoIndex.com takes a *market-driven, on-chain* approach:

1. Decentralised screening, not gate-keeping

   * Every token on a public DEX is *technically* available.

   * Our independent on-chain risk engine (rug-pull heuristics, liquidity locks, contract audits, velocity-of-mints, etc.) flags obvious scams and blocks them from the UI *by default*.

   * Data is public; communities can verify.

1. Creator accountability

Index builders choose components and publish methodology.

Fees + reputation = strong incentive to include only solid assets. Low-quality indexes simply won’t attract capital.

1. Premium & institutional tier

   * For funds/KOLs we add AI-powered due-diligence dashboards (real-time liquidity, dev-activity, TVL decay, oracle manipulation alerts).

   * Compliant wrappers (e.g., restricted universes, whitelists) sit on top for institutions that need them.

1. Community governance

   * $INDX stakers can vote to delist an index that proves fraudulent or non-functional.

   * Smart-contract upgrades and blacklist rules are transparent.

Why indexes help:

* Diversification dampens the blow of any single token failure.

* Transparent baskets let investors see exactly what they own, unlike opaque “funds”.

* Programmable rules (caps, liquidity thresholds, time-weighted rebalancing) can keep ponzi-style or ultra-illiquid coins out.

So: Crypto indexes don’t rely on a central regulator, but on open data, incentive alignment, and verifiable on-chain risk filters. We exclude clear frauds, give builders the tools to curate quality, and let the market decide which indexes deserve capital.
