# Token Prices Hourly

> Hourly token prices derived from DEX trades.

The`dex.token_prices_hourly` table contains hourly price data of tokens computed from the `dex.trades` table. This table also provides metrics for the swap volumes, traders and trade counts of assets swapped onchain at the hourly basis.

### Methodology

* Swaps above USD volume > 1 USD are included in the price calculation.

* For a given token, the sum of the total USD swap volume (both sold/bought volume) was divided by the sum of the total volume of the token swapped in DEX trades.

* If token A had 200,000 USD volume in swaps and the total volume of token A swapped was 18,000 for a given hour, the price calculated will be:

```
price = sum(usd_volume)/sum(token_volume) 
11.111 USD = 200,000/18,000
where price = 11.111 USD and the usd_trading_volume = 200,000
```
