Free macro education and a live dashboard tracking credit spreads, liquidity, rates, and inflation — sourced from FRED, cited per fact, no paywall.
Why Lighthouse
Every fact cited
Numbers in articles link back to FRED, the Fed, Treasury, BEA, BLS, or peer-reviewed work. No Twitter, no Medium, no AI sources.
Free forever
No paywall, no upsell, no email gate. The platform is funded by Draxiq, not by your data or your wallet.
