Summary

Adds CounterTools as a new entry under Explorers → General-Purpose, per issue #8. The entry text was drafted by @davestaxcp; this PR provides the logo asset and the markdown entry in the structure used by existing explorer entries.

Files

  • src/content/explorers/countertools.md — YAML frontmatter entry following the same schema as tokenscan.md (title / description / link / logo / type / isForking).
  • public/images/explorers/countertools.png — square 1024×1024 brand mark (dark slate background, white CT monogram, emerald accent dot). Designed via Recraft.ai.

What CounterTools is

A Counterparty-native data and curation platform — documented methodology behind every figure on the site, so traders, collectors, and researchers can reason about Counterparty markets on disclosed assumptions rather than opaque heuristics.

Current coverage:

  • Price discovery across DEX (XCP / PEPECASH / BTC pairs), dispensers, and OpenSea (Emblem Vault bridge).
  • Multi-hop pricing for assets without direct XCP markets, with MAD-filtered dispenser anchors as a parallel signal.
  • Collection-currency tracking for all 9 official currencies (PEPECASH, BITCRYSTALS, BITCORN, BOBOCASH, DANKMEMECASH, MAFIACASH, WILLCOIN, RUSTBITS, COCOCASH) with price-history charts.
  • Holder snapshots & ecosystem leaderboards refreshed every 6 hours.
  • Per-address portfolio dashboards with trade history.
  • Artist database covering ~1,300 Counterparty-native issuers.
  • Community-curated address blacklist with on-chain signed-message reporting.
  • Free public API (v1) for blacklist checks and collection-currency price lookups, consumed by CounterTrader and other community tools. Deeper platform data is access-controlled.

Resolves the CounterTools entry drafted in issue CounterpartyXCP#8 by @davestaxcp.

CounterTools.io is a Counterparty-native data and curation platform
focused on transparent, methodology-explained pricing for assets
across DEX, dispensers, and the OpenSea (Emblem Vault) bridge.
It tracks the 9 official collection currencies (PEPECASH,
BITCRYSTALS, BITCORN, BOBOCASH, DANKMEMECASH, MAFIACASH, WILLCOIN,
RUSTBITS, COCOCASH) with multi-hop derived prices when assets
don't trade directly against XCP, plus collection valuations,
holder leaderboards, and address dashboards.

A small free public API (v1) provides blacklist checks and
collection-currency price lookups for community tools (consumed by
CounterTrader and others). Deeper platform data is access-controlled.

Methodology documented at https://www.countertools.io/docs.

This PR mirrors the structure of PR CounterpartyXCP#11 (Emblem Vault marketplace)
and PR CounterpartyXCP#12 (Tokenscan description edit).

@angelsintheai

the logo here is very helpful... happen to have an idea of how you want to show CounterTrader on the website too?


my main contention is just making sure Countertools and Countertrader fits nicely (description length wise) on the webiste...

at the moment general explorers have a very small description on the website (most commonly 1 sentence, maybe two)

How does this sound with you for a nice shortened description that fits in with whats already on the website?

"CounterTools.io provides transparent, methodology-based pricing for Counterparty assets/tokens/currencies across DEX's, dispensers, and Emblem Vaults with collection valuations, holder leaderboards, address dashboards and even more advanced features."
