Why advertised and source-board payout totals differ

Data snapshot: 2026-11-08 01:39:11.125Z. This is a source-data timestamp, separate from the editorial revision.

A firm's published total and a source board's total can cover different activity. A difference is a question about scope, not by itself proof of accuracy, dishonesty or non-payment.

Start with dates and units

Match the start and end dates, time zone, currency and unit being counted. Transactions, recipients and approved reward requests are different counts. A rolling window does not equal a calendar month.

Check payment coverage

Boards can track different methods and firms. A public blockchain view does not establish all bank or card receipts, while a firm statement may include methods outside the board's coverage. Do not subtract two unlike totals and call the result missing payments.

Aggregation is not a proven minimum

Rolling figures use PayoutJunction as primary when source totals differ by at most 15%; above that, totals and counts use the arithmetic mean and the largest figure uses the maximum reported. One available source is used alone. Coverage is partial; this is not an independent transaction audit or a lower bound. A combined value may use different source scopes. It is not an independently established floor or a complete industry total.

Make the comparison reproducible

Retain each source URL, amount, count, period and observation time. Explain differences that are supported and label the rest unknown. The methodology describes our reconciliation rule; the monthly archive provides calendar-period context.
