Nakamoto Coefficient from SCP Profiler (Patreon)
Content
A community member asked for updated Nakamoto Coefficient set of scores. The Nakamoto Coefficient is a measure of decentralization that was first proposed by Balaji Srinivasan in 2017. It is calculated by dividing the total number of nodes in a network by the number of nodes that would need to be controlled in order to disrupt the network. A higher Nakamoto Coefficient indicates a more decentralized network. It is the best Quant method there is to measure.
Here is the updated list. Takeaways are
1) we place a lot of value on true decentralization
2) DOT is top of the list (only one asset is better and that is Bitcoin but not included in the SCPs
3) Note ETH....ADA has a better score thanks to their incredible staking pools supported by Youtubers (Ben Cowen has 3 massive ones, Rob from DAN has 2, etc)
