Enter raw values for each criterion to calculate decentralization scores. Scores update in real-time.

Chain Score

Technical and economic decentralization of the chain

A1Nakamoto Coefficient

Number of independent entities that would need to collude to compromise the system. Higher is better.

Excellent (>= 40)Very Good (30-39)Good (20-29)Moderate (10-19)Low (4-9)Critical (<= 3)

A2Validator/Miner Concentration

Share of top 5 validators/miners in stake/hashrate. Lower concentration is better.

Excellent (< 25%)Good (25-40%)Moderate (40-60%)Critical (> 60%)

A3Client Independence

Number of independently developed full-node implementations. Measures resilience against single-codebase bugs and single-entity control.

Excellent (>= 3 clients, none > 70%)Good (2 clients)Critical (1 dominant client)

A4Node Geography & Hosting

Geographic distribution of nodes and cloud hosting concentration. Lower cloud % is better.

Excellent (< 40% cloud)Moderate (40-70% cloud)Critical (> 70% cloud)

A5Full Node Decentralization

Number of independent full nodes validating the chain. More nodes = harder to attack, better censorship resistance. For PoW chains, this is separate from miners. For PoS, validators often = nodes.

Excellent (>= 10,000 nodes)Very Good (5,000-10,000)Good (1,000-5,000)Moderate (500-1,000)Low (100-500)Critical (< 100 nodes)

Control Score

Power and control structures around the protocol

B1Corporate/Foundation Capture

Is there a dominant company/foundation controlling roadmap, marketing, and hiring? Can the project survive without them?

No corporate owner (Bitcoin-style)Multiple orgs, none dominantOne entity controls de factoFull "CEO chain"

B2Repo/Protocol Ownership

Distribution of merge rights in core repositories (clients, specs). More distributed is better.

Many maintainers from different orgsMix of company + communityAlmost only one company team

B3Brand & Frontend Control

Who owns brand, domains, main frontends, official wallets/apps? Decentralized ownership is better.

Brand in DAO/community + multiple frontendsFoundation holds brand & main frontendSingle corporate frontend, no alternatives

B4Treasury & Upgrade Keys

Composition of treasury/upgrade multisigs and admin keys. More independent signers is better.

>= 10 independent signers5-9 signers, partly team/VC2-4 core dev/founder signers

B5Admin Halt Capability

Can a single entity or small group unilaterally halt, freeze, or censor the chain? This is a critical centralization risk.

No halt capability - truly unstoppableEmergency halt requires broad consensusFoundation/team can coordinate haltSingle entity can halt/freeze chain

B6Protocol Immutability

Has the protocol made fundamental rule changes (consensus mechanism, monetary policy, contentious forks)? Immutable rules are a core property of decentralization.

No fundamental changes - immutable rules (Bitcoin)Minor changes, no consensus/monetary changes1-2 major changes (fork or consensus change)Multiple major changes, "move fast" culture

Fairness Score

Launch, distribution, and governance fairness

C1Launch Fairness / Premine

Team/VC/Foundation premine and launch model (fair launch vs. sale/IDO). Less premine is better.

Fair launch, minimal premine (< 5%)Moderate pre-allocation (5-25%)High pre-allocation (25-50%)Majority pre-allocated (> 50%)

C2Token Concentration

Share of circulating supply held by insiders (team/VC/foundation). Less concentration is better.

Insider < 20% of supplyInsider 20-40%Insider 40-60%Insider > 60%

C3Governance Control

Share of governance voting power held by insiders. 100% = no token governance (team decides everything). Less insider control is better.

Insider < 20% voting powerInsider 20-40%Insider 40-60%Insider > 60% or no governance
