The objective of this challenge is to generate a comprehensive report that assesses the degree of decentralization in the crypto asset project.
- Choose any cryptocurrency project, whether it is a native coin or a token.
- Create a list of metrics that would help you evaluate how decentralized a project is. Below are a few examples that can help guide you in the right direction. While this list is a good starting point, it is not exhaustive. And it would be advantageous for your submission to include a more comprehensive list of quality metrics.
1. GitHub metrics
- contributor commit activity (number of contributors, percentage of commits from top contributors, etc.)
- number of pull requests
- ...
2. Operational metrics
- allocation/distribution of assets at the initial launch
- profit mechanism
- ...
3. Blockchain metrics
- cost of 51% attack
- ...
4. ...
- Create a report that includes the metrics with values for the project you chose. Don't forget to include a brief 1-2 sentence explanation of each metric.
Note: Some metrics might be quantitative, while others - qualitative.
