Our Scoring Methodology
Transparency is the foundation of trust. Here’s exactly how we rate projects on their decentralization.
Consensus Decentralization
The bedrock of security. We measure who can validate transactions and how resilient the network is to attack or collusion.
- Nakamoto Coefficient & Validator Count
- Client Diversity (Multiple Software Implementations)
- Barrier to Entry (Cost to become a validator)
Tokenomics & Supply
Who owns the network? The distribution of a project's token reveals its true power structure and fairness.
- Initial Distribution (% to insiders vs. public)
- Supply Concentration (Whale wallet dominance)
- Fairness of Launch (Premine vs. no premine)
Governance & Control
Who decides the future? We scrutinize how upgrades are proposed, voted on, and executed.
- Contract Upgradeability & Admin Keys
- On-Chain vs. Off-Chain Voting Mechanisms
- Accessibility of Governance to token holders
Ecosystem & Frontend Risk
A decentralized backend is useless if the only way to access it is through a centralized gatekeeper.
- Decentralized Frontend Hosting (e.g., IPFS)
- RPC Node Centralization (Reliance on Infura/Alchemy)
- Availability of alternative access points
Our Promise
This scoring model (V1) is a living document. It is not perfect, but it is a transparent starting point. We are committed to refining these metrics with community feedback and as the Web3 landscape evolves. Our source code and methodology will always be open for scrutiny.
