Token Metrics Team • October 2025 • ~5 min read
Introduction
Trust requires proof. TM Global 100 logs every action: weekly rebalances, regime switches, token adds/removes, exact prices paid, fees incurred. The Transactions tab is your audit trail—verifiable, timestamped, and complete. Here's what it shows and why transparency separates good index products from opaque ones.
TL;DR
Transactions Log: Timestamped record of every index action
What's logged: Rebalances, regime switches, buys, sells, fees, prices
Why it matters: Proof the index follows its rules; audit trail for taxes; accountability
Access: My Indices → [Your Position] → Transactions tab
What Gets Logged

1. Weekly Rebalances Every Monday (or your chosen cadence), the log shows: Date/time: "2025-10-13 08:00 UTC" Action: "Weekly rebalance" Additions: "Added TOKEN_X (rank #87), bought 0.5% allocation" Removals: "Removed TOKEN_Y (dropped to rank #105), sold 0.3%" Reweights: "Increased BTC from 34% to 36%, decreased ETH from 18% to 17%"
2. Regime Switches When the index exits to stablecoins or re-enters tokens: Trigger: "Bear signal detected" or "Bull signal confirmed" Actions: "Sold 100 tokens: [list with amounts and prices]" Result: "Purchased USDC: $X total" Timestamp: Exact execution time
3. User Buys When you purchase more index units: Amount: "$5,000 deposit" Tokens received: "[List of 100 tokens] at current weights" Fees: Platform fee $50, gas $15, slippage $30 Net value: $4,905 deployed
4. User Sells When you exit the index: Amount: "Sold 50% of position" Tokens sold: "[List] at current market prices" Fees: Gas $12, slippage $25 Received: "USDC $9,963 to wallet"
5. Fees Paid Separate line items for: Platform fees Gas fees Swap slippage Any other transaction costs Why Full Transparency Matters
6. Proof of Execution Claim: "We rebalance weekly." Proof: 52 timestamped rebalance entries per year. Without logs, you're trusting claims. With logs, you verify.
7. Tax Reporting Transactions Log = your accountant's friend. Export to CSV, hand to tax preparer, done. Every buy, sell, and rebalance is documented with dates and amounts.
8. Performance Attribution Question: "Why did my index underperform last month?" Answer: Check the log—see which tokens were added/removed, which reweights occurred, and whether a regime switch happened.
9. Accountability If the index claims to follow rules but doesn't, the log exposes it. Timestamps don't lie.
10. Learning Tool Review past rebalances: "TOKEN_X was added at rank #92 on Week 10, rose to #45 by Week 20." You learn what works and what doesn't. What Opaque Indices Hide No Logs: You don't know if rebalances actually happened Can't verify fees match disclosures Can't audit regime-switch timing Tax reporting becomes guesswork Aggregated Summaries Only: "Rebalanced this month" → which tokens? when? at what prices? "Fees: $X" → breakdown? gas vs. platform vs. slippage? Black-Box Problem: Without granular logs, you're trusting the platform's word. If performance lags, you can't diagnose why. How to Use the Transactions Log Weekly Review Open log Monday after rebalance Check additions/removals: "Any surprises? Does this match top-100 rankings?" Verify weights: "Did BTC's % change match market-cap shift?" Confirm fees: "Are gas costs in line with expectations?" Tax Season Export log to CSV Filter by transaction type (buys, sells, rebalances) Calculate cost basis, proceeds, gains/losses Hand to accountant or import to tax software Performance Analysis Compare your entry date to log history Identify which regime (bull/bear) you entered during Count how many rebalances occurred since you bought Match your returns to logged actions Troubleshooting Issue: "My position value doesn't match expectations." Solution: Check log for recent regime switch or large reweight—may explain value shift.

Security Note: Protecting Your Transaction Data
On-Chain vs. Off-Chain
Core rebalance actions are on-chain (verifiable via block explorer using your wallet address)
UI aggregates and formats for readability
Platform stores logs for convenience but can't alter on-chain record
Privacy
Your specific buys/sells are private to your account. Other users don't see your transactions—only their own.
