CoinDesk now refuses requests without an API key, so mainnet showed no USD prices. Mainnet prices now come from Chainlink's USD price feeds, read with eth_call through the user's RPC endpoint; no other service is asked. The bundled list pairs each of 53 tokens with its feed by contract address, and ETH and WETH use ETH/USD. The popup reads the feeds of ETH and the tokens the user holds or tracks in one batched request, at most every 5 minutes. A reading older than its heartbeat plus 30 minutes, or not positive, is no price. A token with no feed shows no USD value. CoinDesk is gone.

RULES.md still names the CoinDesk price API.

Ethereum RPC endpoint. It also asks the CoinDesk price API for prices, sending
token symbols and nothing else.

cached for 5 minutes. No API key is required. This endpoint is not
