Historical Exchange Index
Evidence-aware registry of crypto exchanges, active and gone
Historical Exchange Index is a public registry for crypto exchanges, active and gone. Instead of focusing on prices, rankings, or trading metrics, it treats exchanges as records with their own identity, timeline, and evidence trail. HEI separates entity, event, and evidence, tracks closures, acquisitions, rebrands, and enforcement-driven shutdowns, and uses archive-aware URL handling for dead-side entries where original domains may no longer be trustworthy.
Hi Product Hunt — I built Historical Exchange Index because exchange history is scattered across live listings, old announcements, enforcement notices, archived pages, and graveyard-style lists.
Once an exchange shuts down, gets acquired, rebrands, or quietly disappears, the trail becomes fragmented fast. HEI is my attempt to keep that history in one place as a registry rather than a ranking site.
The project is structured around three separate layers: the exchange entity itself, major timeline events, and the evidence behind those claims. For dead-side entries, archived URLs matter a lot, because original domains can expire, redirect, get repurposed, or become unsafe over time.
It’s still early and the dataset will keep evolving, but the goal is to make exchange history easier to inspect in a more structured, evidence-aware way.
The feedback that helps most right now:
- missing exchanges
- bad classifications
- weak evidence
- edge cases around swap services, P2P platforms, and other borderline records
