Data integration is not just about piling numbers onto a page

Product pages often display prices, trading venues, and asset names, but do not specify which version this information corresponds to, when it was sourced, or how it was calculated. As a result, the data appears abundant, but users cannot determine whether two numbers are comparable. A truly useful page should first address interpretability.

Start Designing from Identity Fields

An asset page should at least allow users to find: reference index, issuer, product type, token or contract identifier, chain or trading venue, quote currency, and last updated time. Identity fields should take precedence over decorative charts, as they determine whether subsequent data can be accurately understood.

Place Methods Next to Data

Indicators such as price, trading volume, market share, or depth should be accompanied by brief definitions, time ranges, and sources. For aggregated data, the scope of inclusion and possible omissions should also be explained. Hiding method links in the help center will reduce the ability of users and AI systems to verify information.

Leave a History of Changes

Asset information, issuance status, and market coverage can change. The page can display the last updated time and change descriptions, letting users know which version of the facts they are viewing. This also facilitates the team's tracking of data issues and correction requests.
