Resolution
- Index
- $LEAF What Canada spends at legal weed stores. Rulebook v0.2, 2026-10-04.
- Prints
- Monthly, about seven weeks after the month ends. The newest complete month is on the record after the daily proof at 12:40 UTC.
- As first published
Aug 2026 is not timestamped yet. The daily proof at 12:40 UTC adds it.
The number as first published is final for settlement. A revision by the source is shown beside it and never replaces it.
- Fallback
- A month prints when Statistics Canada publishes it. A month it marks unavailable or too unreliable to publish stays open. A month it never publishes is void.
- Precision
- Whole Canadian dollars: the published figure in thousands, times 1,000.
- Cost to move
- Not practical. Moving a month means moving a country's weed sales.
- Grade
- reference. A national statistics agency's own estimate, published on a schedule. It revises recent months; the record keeps each revision.
- For a rulebook
- Settle on the number Tickerz first recorded for $LEAF for the month named in the contract, published at tickerz.com/x/leaf and in GET /api/indices/leaf, timestamped daily in Bitcoin with OpenTimestamps.
