Contribute a price observation
Merkafri improves when operators on the ground share what they see. One honest row from your market can validate a scraper, fill a gap, or flag a spike before it hits the news. You stay credited on the public leaderboard when we launch it — and you help everyone trade with clearer information.
Quick submit
Email template with the fields we need — send from your phone in under a minute.
No PII required
We only need price context. Name is optional for leaderboard credit later.
Quality checks
Submissions pass range checks and deduping before they affect the public board.
